If you can't beat 'em join 'em.... our swine wedding 05.08.09

Yay, I'm a Mrs...!!!!! We got married on 05.08.09!!!!!! It wasn't quite how I dreamt but I married the man of my dreams and that's what's important! FI and I, along with 96 of our guests, were all packed and ready to fly to our wedding in the riviera maya when news of the swine flu broke..... it was a very tough decision but we decided to postpone our mexico wedding, as much as people were willing to go for us we just didn't want to take any chances... we re-booked, trying to avoid hurricane season and allowing for enough time for the drama to pass, we decided on December 4th..... It seemed like ages away and all I could think of were all my diy projects with our may 8th date on it... after many tears and tons of pouting, we decided to make the best out of a bad situation. We had our civil wedding on the day we had decided on to become husband and wife..May 8th! It turned out to be an amazing day! All our family and friends were so supportive during this whole ordeal... it really taught us what's important, our love and the love of the people around us. My honey even surprised me with a 2 night honeymoon at the W hotel =) just wanted to share some pictures
