Honeymoon Recap

We had an absolutely amazing time on our honeymoon! I have to say that the honeymoon was one of my favorite parts of this whole wedding planning journey. We did an all-inclusive Sandals resort and we were able to relax and not have to worry about anything! We carried no cash with us the entire week unless we were leaving the resort and it was so nice not to have to think about where we were going to eat or what we were going to do for the day. We did do a few excursions (which we got to do for free!), but other than that it was just lounging...beach or pool?? That was our big decision for the day. We ate (a lot) and drank and enjoyed each other. We were able to get into town for a little bit of shopping and we also went on a day cruise and went zip lining one of the days. Overall, it was an awesome trip that we will never forget, but as always...we are glad to be home! Reality is starting to set in...school starts tomorrow! Eeek!

Views from our room

Some of our favorites

What we came home to...

Stay tuned for the wedding recaps! Once the craziness of the first few weeks of school dies down, I'll be back for with more wedding pictures!

Honeymooners!

So I realized that I haven't blogged much about our honeymoon. We are so excited to be spending a week on the beaches of St. Lucia! We are headed to Sandals Regency St. Lucia for 8 days and 7 nights! I can't wait to see this view...

and this room...

So of course I had to go shopping for a new swimsuit...or 2!

1 piece in "oasis green"

And 2 piece in black...

These are in black to match the top of course...but they are sold out online in black so I must settle for a picture of them in green!

Not to be forgotten...Mr. G also got a new pair of board shorts and some new clothes to sport on the beach!

We'll be leaving Sunday night after our wedding. Hopefully we'll have enough time to come home and finish packing before we head out! We can't wait!

Checks!

Whoo hoo...feels so good to get things checked off the list!

1. Mr. G's wedding band is picked out and on lay-away at ShaneCo.

2. We booked our honeymoon flights a week ago! Sooo so exciting...St. Lucia here we come!

3. Yesterday my mom and I took advantage of no sales tax at IKEA and bought 400 tealights, holders for all of them, a few bowls to serve as ashtrays for Mr. G's cigar bar, and 8 vases for the bridesmaid bouquets at the reception all for under $150!

4. We also made our way over to Men's Warehouse Tux and picked out all the tuxes for all the boys.

5. I FINALLY found my match boxes so now I can start on those. (See here)

**Question...what do you think of putting a few match boxes on each table and having the guests light the candles?? Tacky or no??

6. Scheduled an appointment with the florist to discuss potential centerpieces. Details to come!

My new idea...not quite these colors but this kind of concept I guess...
