Honeymoon

After the wedding, we were exhausted but excited for our honeymoon trip. On the Monday after the wedding, we woke up early and went to the airport to fly to Long Beach. From there we went to the Carnival cruise terminal to board the Carnival Paradise for our four day cruise to Catalina Island and Ensenada.

Us at the Long Beach Airport
The first day on the ship was alot of fun. We found our room and then went straight for the buffet. Yum! I'm pretty sure the food was the best thing ever, mainly because it was unlimited. After eating anything we could get our hands on, we walked around and checked out the ship. That night at dinner we met our dining group. Everyone at our table was under 25 years old. There was even another honeymoon couple who were married the same day as us!


Catalina was the next day and was so fun! We rented mountain bikes for the day and drove around Avalon. In Ensenada we took a trip to La Bufadora (the blow hole) and also shopped in the open air market. It was pretty dirty. But it was definately a cultural experience!

The open air market in Ensenada. The policia were actually wheeling out a dead guy!

Two burgers for $49? Now that's a deal!

Wedding Day!

Our wedding was everything we wanted and more. We were married in the Sacramento temple at 10:00 am. Many of our friends and family were there to support us. The weather was beautiful, so after the temple ceremony we took hours of pictures. We even went to our high school where we met and took some pics there! We had a ring ceremony that started at 5 pm. My dad and sister even sang a song! The reception started at 6 pm. We ate delicious food, danced, and took a lot of pictures. Around 10 pm, we finally got to leave. It was a long day, but the best day of our lives! We love being married!
