i'm coming out

This is a "feelings" post. and here is the subject

our hawaiian wedding

It has been 7 months now, and I am finally coming out with my feelings on the matter. 

tj and i had many, many negative vibes sent our way about the decision to be married in hawaii. 

yes, we understand that many family members were not able to make it, and we honestly are sad about that.

 BUT, it was our day, and we loved every second of it. I will never have any regrets about my day. i will never look back and wonder why i spent so much money on something i did not enjoy. i will never forget the experience we shared. and...i will treasure that day forever. 

so here are just a couple reasons why i loved my wedding

beautiful scenery

no stress.

no reception

no boutonnieres, yet beautiful flowers

no wedding line

no worries

Thank you everyone that was able to make the trip, and those back home for all the support! We loved having you all there to celebrate our special day. 

A special thanks goes out to Andrea (bouquet), Jessica (hair piece), Shea (makeup), and to Jerusha (for giving me the kick I needed to plan a wedding in six weeks!)

a special thanks to my wonderful parents and in-laws for their support and love. The show couldn't go on without them. 

also, I want to thank the Patriarchs of the family for providing the means!

thanks dad for selling nine cows so the family could fly to hawaii

and

thanks Tom for making a special trip from Boston to be there! 

We honestly want to thanks everyone that helped make this beautiful day possible. 

We love you all!
