Married Woman Blogging

All the wedding preparations and married life adjustments made me forget that my blog still exists. I am back, and a new year welcomes me with plenty of exciting changes and challenges.

Most of you had already seen wedding photos, and I have already shared how wonderful the whole experience was. Everything about it was moving in so many ways. Both David and I were glad that our families were very supportive in all levels. Think tying ribbon on boutonnaires and cooking Filipino food for 40. Maids were nonexistent, so we all had to do things ourselves.

Much to our frustration, about 50% of our time was spent putting together decorations for the boat, which was probably the least important thing about the event. And the last thing David and I focused on was our vows. (I finished writing mine the morning of the wedding!) However, during the event itself, the vows stood out the most - more than any pine cone detail we had put together on each table centerpiece. Which makes me pity crazy bridezillas who don't get the whole meaning of a wedding.

Moving forward... the Hawaii honeymoon was great. We were able to relax plenty and literally "get away" from our families. We watched wild dolphins and whales, flew on a helicopter and drank plenty of mai tais. I can still taste the pineapples. The weather was perfect, and I was able to slip into my bikini again after such a long time.

After that, it's back to the reality of New York. Blah. Cold weather. Cleaning up. Laundry for two. Bills. Rent. And married life begins...

And there's that other wedding to prepare for!
