I am proud to say that I can now post here in good conscience!
On February 27th at 3pm, the love of my life (cheesy I know, but trust me it's true!) and I said our 'i do's on a beautiful tropical island. It was a perfect day. Even if something had gone wrong, I probably wouldn't have noticed because I was too busy smiling until my face hurt.

We're back home and enjoying our second week of newlywedded bliss. Being married doesn't feel much different. We already cohabitated for the past year and a half so there is no getting used to a shared living space. Mostly, it seems like we are being extra special nice to each other. Like last night I ordered a delicious pasta dish when we were out for my birthday dinner and planned on eating the leftovers today, but when I got home from work they were gone. I'm assuming he ate them, but I'm not even mad about it. Instead I ordered Thai food and even got some for him, too, so he has something to eat when he gets home.
Now I'm totally picturing myself a year from now calling and yelling at him for eating my dinner if this happens again.
Anyway, I already made the trek to social security yesterday and officially changed my name...a process that took a whopping 10 MINUTES. Is that unheard of or what? I'm still getting used to calling him my husband and hearing myself referred to as a Mrs., but I'm sure it will feel like it was never any other way soon enough.
Until then, we're just settling back in! Our cats are enjoying having their mom and dad together in marriage at last and we are deciding our approach at the next big step...buying a house!
Thank you all so much for the sweet congrats in Krysten's post the other day!

You look so stunning! Congrats, Salt! Welcome to the club!
That food story is so cute. I'm so glad your trip to the SS was easier than you expected. Especially on your bday! Congrats a million times over! ox
Mostly, it seems like we are being extra special nice to each other. - So feeling this!
Congrats - love the photo.
Congratulations!!! The happiness is literally radiating out of that photo and out at all of us. :)
Once again Salt, CONGRATS! I am so so happy for you two!
And the SS office was my shortest name change trip. The bank took the longest, oddly enough.
Congrats, love the picture you look beautiful. I didn't feel much different after getting married either, but I think we were a lot nicer to each other at first also. But after a year I'm still not used to another last name, wonder if it ever will feel like my name:)
congrats! :) I can't even imagine changing my last name yet, sooo good thing I get to wait a little!
Beautiful - congrats!
How wonderfully beautiful - the couple, the dress, the ocean... Congratulations!!
RIGHT ON!!! congratulations!!! i would have been so mad about that missing food! hahahahhahaha. well, maybe not if i was on my honeymoon. :)

Congrats! You look stunning!
That totally made me laugh because yes, you will yell at him for the leftovers in a year! LOL
Congrats! And yes, you will definately be yelling about the food by next year, probably within the next couple months ;)

Thank you, everyone!! :)
that photo of you is gorgeous. and that's what marriage is *really* all about---sharing leftovers. sometimes without asking.
;-)
Yay!!! Congratulations! You made a beautiful bride :)
Congrats! And you both look so happy and wonderful! (Just stopping by on Erin's, The Motherload, recommendation. Great blog!)
It looks like you did it just the right way...small, intimate, on a beach. Congrats!
That's how my next wedding is going to be. ;-)
Major congrats to you!!!! xx
congratulations on getting married - you look very happy!
Thanks for stopping by and saying hi
=)

I feel the exact same way about the children question! I usually respond "we're on the 5 year plan" and that usually stops the questions, ha!
I love kids, always thought I wanted them but as the reality of that time creeps closer I feel like I could take it or leave it. I will not be leaving it as my husband really wants kids and we always agreed on having a family.
We will probably start trying soon. We've been married almost three years and I feel OK if it were to happen now. If it had happened in our first year married I would have freaked, I think.
Gorgeous pics! Congratulations :)
And we have one little man, age 3, and people started asking me when we were having a 2nd while I was STILL in the hospital having given birth to this one. It never ends. Strangers in Starbucks will ask. come up with a sassy retort and practice it bc you will say it 1 million times.
Oh the kid q, gotta love it.
Congrats on the marriage! This blog is so cute. I'm getting married in June, will join your club soon ;-)
P.S. That pic of the kids is soooo cute!
Salt do you still have a personal blog too? I can't see it anymore in my reader.
congrats and you'll know when you're ready... never give in to pressure... have a nice week!
This is so cool! Totally smiling! :) Congrats on being a new bride and happy belated birthday!!!
Thanks so much, ya'll!!!
Mrs. T - Yes I still do have a personal blog, but it's all screwed up in readers now because I switched hosting. :) I just re-set Google Friend Connect on my new site! (And I hope it works...I'm still troubleshooting things over there.)
I was married for six years and I CONSTANTLY got that question...followed by "well you better get crackin" and "what are you waiting for" and "dont' wait too long!".....as if my boobs would sag too much and i'd not be able to breast feed them if i didn't hurry down the baby aisle.
Don't let those comments get the best of you....do your stuff, in YOUR time! kids, marriage....they are really really hard work and require a lot of dedication, if you're not ready, congrats! you're one of the smart people in the world that don't RUSH into things they aren't ready for.
Enjoy the life you have...and you'll know when you're ready to add too it.
in your own time dear salt, in your own time.
~hl~
when you start thinking more about saving $$ for baby formula and less about new "ink"....
then revisit this quandary. ;)
~hl~
congratulations! you have an amazing road ahead of you. It's not always smooth, of course, but it is always an amazing drive!
I have two kiddies ;) a boy and a girl. My son is 3 and daughter is 1 and I'm 28 ;) I always knew I wanted kiddies ;) Happy Easter weekend to you and yours!
I love that you did the sorta casual beach thing. You look beautiful and happy!
