Signing off…I think update: I’m a married woman!!! Everything turned out even better than I could’ve ever imagined. We are so lucky to have such wonderful family and friends in our lives to support us in this journey. I can not even begin to thank my parents for all of their hard work this past weekend. They stayed late after everyone left, and were up at 6 AM the morning after to go clean up the grounds. We are forever in debt to them for everything they did for us this past weekend.

Here are a few early pics that my photographer, Mark Kegans (HIGHLY RECOMMEND), to wet your appetite.

LOVE THEM – I can’t wait to see the rest!

Tomorrow morning we board our flight at 5:50 a.m. for the sunny, sandy beaches of Antigua. And wouldn’t you know it, Marcus was able to score us upgrades for the first leg of our flight from Des Moines to Atlanta. Mimosas in First Class? Don’t mind if I do.

Plenty of stories and a lot more photos to come!
