But I'll start with the bridal portraits...

Well, now that I'm Mrs. Dixon I can finally post pictures of my dress... so I'll keep y'all in suspense no longer...

A Brief Recap of Our Wedding

WARNING: There is some foul language so read with caution :o)

So we are all married now :o)

Everything went great! The day basically went off without a hitch, and even the weather was ok. They called for horrible down pours ALL day... but it only sprinkled once or twice and held off until Sunday morning! We were so excited that it was able to do that.

The only problem I was aware of (during the day...) was that the b*tch of a lady at our reception venue didn't tell the bartender that it was a $500 limit beer and wine ONLY! He thought it was open bar... so by the time we got there (about 45 min to an hour after guests did) the tab was already over to $300!!!! We stopped it and ended up with a total of about $788. So my parents covered it graciously and the lady is still being a b*tch about it and not refunding us even though she and I as well as my mom and her had several conversations referring to ONLY beer and wine. But what do you do other than tell people she's a b*tch right?

Other than that, things went wonderful. And even though I'm a little irritated over those, I'm not letting it get to me because... I'M MARRIED TO THE LOVE OF MY LIFE!!!!

And for those of you wondering... I will keep you in suspense no longer on that surprise honeymoon.

It was.......

Sandals Grande Ocho Rios in Ocho Rios, Jamaica!!! We had a blast, but I will say if you want lots of beach, don't go there. We were slightly disappointed in the amount of beach and the "upgrade" room that we got. We were only disappointed because his parents were very gracious in gifting us our honeymoon, and they had told Michael what to expect in the room and when we got there, it wasn't what we were told to expect, so we upset for them because we knew that what they had "upgraded" us to would have never been what his parents would have booked. But we had a great time non-the-less, we just know not to go back to that Sandals when we go back to Jamaica.

While we got to the airport around 3pmish on Sunday afternoon... our luggage made it to the resort at midnight on Monday night. Yeah so Delta really sucked that weekend. Not to mention, Atlanta airport was delaying arrivals but didn't delay departures, so we missed our 10am flight to Montego Bay but got put on stand by for the 11:30am flight and got seats... but as I said, yeah our luggage didn't. But we were honeymooners so who really needs clothes right? hahaha

I will try to post some pictures very soon!

OMG!!!!!!!!!

So my countdown is at....

8 DAYS

Just thought I would share my excitement!!

Everything is done, just tying up the loose ends (programs and welcome brochures) and I believe we are done! I just can't believe it's next weekend! So excited!!!! I will post pictures as soon as we get back as well as reveal the surprise honeymoon :)

Here... Read This!

So I figured I would share our reading for the ceremony since the only one on here that will probably hear it is my BBFF (Blogger Best Friend Forever) Miss Katy... so here it is :)

When I'm with you,
eternity is a step away,
my love continues to grow,
with each passing day.

This treasure of love,
I cherish within my soul,
how much I love you...
you'll never really know.

You bring a joy to my heart,
I've never felt before,
with each touch of your hand,
I love you more and more.

Whenever we say goodbye,
whenever we part,
know I hold you dearly,
deep inside my heart.

So these seven words,
I pray you hold true,
"Always and Forever,
I Will Love You."
