Fast Forward - Honeymoon, Part 1

Well, it's official! Darin and I are married - how crazy is that?! Sorry it has taken awhile to get some pictures/information up here. I'm working on it.

Have decided to go backwards - honeymoon to rehearsal dinner. Enjoy!

We went on a Royal Caribbean International Cruise to the Bahamas. I had never been on a cruise before and this was Darin's second. I highly recommend them - it was tons of fun and the food was just amazing. (I realize now I don't have any pictures of food - how unlike me!) On Monday morning, we drove down to Miami and hopped on the cruise. It was a little confusing - truth be told. But exciting nonetheless.

We were in room 2140 - last floor, but we had a port hole. Super cool.

Here was Darin in our room. It was a little smushed - you should have seen the bathroom...

Tiny room.

Outside pool area. Very cold water.

Boat sign: Majesty of the Seas

We were in our room when we realized the boat was moving. We couldn't feel it moving - could see from our port hole that Miami was leaving us. Yikes. Ran upstairs to take some pictures; it was a beautiful Florida day. Fantastic.

South Beach, I think.



New Mrs. and Mr.



Windy!

That night we went to our reserved dinner - 6 pm, and met the great people whom we would be sharing dinner with the next couple of nights. Now this might be strange to some people, but Darin and I really enjoyed talking to new people. There were four others: Kelly and Laurie, college students from UMass, and Diana and Elvin/Edwin (don't really remember his name) from Ft. Lauderdale. They were all very nice and young. I felt old, but it didn't matter - we had a blast all the same.

That night instead of going to the comedy show, we crashed. We. Were. Tired. And coming down from a post-wedding high. It felt good to just relax after a great meal.

Next morning we were in Nassau, Bahamas. How about that?! We got up at like 7:30 am (I know, what were we thinking?) and headed outside to explore Nassau and not get kidnapped.

Found this sign. How awesome? Will incorporate it into the blog somehow... just need some time.

Me.

Beautiful bougainvillea.

We walked around and saw like 5 churches. At least. Strange.

Church.

Guess who?
It's Chris C.

At church 2 - or angel. It was pretty.

We were walking around and needed to find Darin a Diet Coke - for his fix. Went into this scary convince store. Then went into some shops, but decided against stupid knickknacks and went back on the boat to change. Then we headed to Paradise Island to see Atlantis. So cool.

More to come.
