Wedded bliss update: We made it through a week alone on an island together and it is still complete bliss! Fresh off the plane from the Caribbean island of Antigua we are settling back in to our daily routine, but the true test is going to start tomorrow with a full work week ahead of us. Our stay at Sugar Ridge was truly relaxing and the locals were all a delight.

Here are a few favorite pictures from our week in paradise:

He's such a cheeser, isn't he? On Gibson's Beach in Antigua.

Fresh coconut compliments of our driver Vorn.

We conquered Hell's Gate. Marcus and I climbed and walked across this coral formation on our Eco Tour excursion.

Final sunset in Antigua shot from our hotel balcony.

While on our honeymoon we met a lovely couple from Virginia and she told me all about this website that helps newlywed ladies (like myself) with the grueling process. Miss Now Mrs. saves over 13 hours of naming stress for us damsels in distress and for a little under $30, it might not be such a bad idea…
