Honeymoon:

Vancouver


,


Canada


What was your

high point

of the day?  Seeing all my plans and ideas come to life at the reception areaJ and definitely walking down the aisle to Jared!


What if anything would you change about the day? The cake service! They were supposed to serve all the cake and let guests choose which flavor. Instead it was just a mess and two whole layers went unserved. What a waste!


What advice could you give to future brides? Get a wedding planner! I wish I would have paid the extra money for one. It was so hard doing everything on our own.

My assistant, Ginger took this picture of the cake.  I love her eye for photos.  She sees things from different angles and heights and gets those creative shots.


 



Indoor Skydiving!

I took a day off and headed to Orlando last week.  A friend of a friend is the manager of Skyventure, Orlando's Skydiving tunnel so we went for it.  I was terrified!  The instructor had to pull me out into the tunnel, but it was SO much fun.  Obviously it's not as exciting as the real thing, but it's still pretty intense.  If you're down in Orlando, get on it! :-)
