Our Wedding Day

I really want to blog about our honeymoon, but I feel like I should write a little something about our wedding before I do that!

We were married on the most perfect day in October. It was a beautiful and sunny day with a perfect sunset. Everything about our day was perfect. I know that probably everyone thinks that about their wedding day, but ours really was. In fact, the whole first day of our honeymoon, we couldn't stop talking about how perfect everything was. Now, did it all go off without a hitch? No. The pedestals for the tall centerpieces were up-side down, the aisle runner wasn't long enough, the aqua blue linens that were used were much brighter than the ones that I picked, nobody waved the cute ribbon wands I spent so much time making and there was a mix-up with one of the groomsmen and the appropriate tie he was supposed to wear. But honestly, just little stuff and I'd still use the word "perfect" to describe our day. Why? Because everything else was amazing. The sun was shining, the flowers were gorgeous, people were smiling at the ceremony and dancing at the reception. We had such a perfect day with the people we love!

I am anxiously awaiting photos from our photographer, but here are a few I snagged off Facebook that others posted!

Corcovado

The first day we saw the Corcovado or "Cristo Redentor" (Christ the Redeemer) was on the cloudiest day. We only had about one minute of time to get a clear picture of the 80 year-old statue on the list of the 7 Wonders of the World. Today, we took the most amazing helicopter tour from Sugarloaf Mountain and had an amazing view from above. It literally takes your breath away. Such an amazing sight...
