It was all good. Once I got the warning tape off of it, and the huge string of crap tied to the back..it was ok to drive. Michelle wouldn't let me wash it though so we drove around for most of our honeymoon with that crap all over the car. On a sad note...due to the wonderfully freakish weather we had this past week....on our way home from Asheville, NC, the teg decided it was going to drive itself...right off the road. It's not that bad considering that somehow (we totally believe because of God's awesome grace) that the car spun around and we basically just slid into the guardrail backwards. The only damage is to the passenger side rear quarter panel, and the passenger side taillight busted. I think that I will be able to fix the majority of the damage though..so it's all good. It just looks worse that it is. I will definately post pictures of the decorated car soon.

 

I thought that was hilarious...glad nobody really saw that. Her church has a lot of very traditional and also older members, some of which attended the wedding. I wish you could have made it for the ceremony. You missed me singing for Michelle. It was pretty cool. I watched some of our wedding video last night...it went off without any hitches. IMO..it was very non-traditionalistic for a wedding. It really suited Michelle and I's personality. One of her friends sang an Ian VanDahl techno song that was played by someone on the piano(better suited for a wedding that the original)...it sounded perfect. All the wedding music was unique. Glad you made to it the reception though! It was great to see you again.

 

yeah...I was upset that I missed the ceremony. I got there right as everybody was dismissed. I tried to get ready as fast as possible in the small bathroom at work...and I was gonna leave early but we were busy.
I thought it was pretty neat that you guys play music in your ceremony, the only music that we have is the wedding march. :chuckles: But I also didn't notice till later that there was no dancing at the reception. Then I remembered it was a Southern Baptist church.

 

yay!

 

pictures!!! congrats..where was the honeymoon?

 

We went to Stone Mountain, GA (outside of Atlanta) for a few days. Drove all around Atlanta...ate some good food, and we..err, um, she did lots of shopping. The weather was beautiful there..kind of secluded, but only like 15 mins from the beltline in Atl. I also had scheduled some spa treatments for her while we were there. Here's a tip guys...while on your honeymoon...I highly suggestly that you have something like this done for your new wife...whether it's a nice long massage, or some sort of body wrap, etc. Trust me...after all the "stress" that Michelle went through, it was a huge blessing for me to do that for her. Not to mention that gave me about and hour and a half to go out and get some nice stuff for her and make dinner reservations for the next few nights as a suprise for her. Spend the money..it's worth it. She was sooooo chill for the next few days...hahaha. After that we ended up going to the Grove Park Inn in Asheville, NC. Originally we were planning on going to her grandparents cabin in Boone, NC, but the very low temperatures changed that due to worrying about busted pipes, etc. The Gorve Park Inn was awesome though. We had a very nice room with a view of Ashville, and even better, the Blue Ridge Mountains. It was awesome to wake up to see the fog over the city and between the mountains and to see the mountains surrounding you....you just had to be there. We ate at some very nice restaurants while in Asheville..Michelle and I did more shopping. This place is definately first class. We are talking about going back in 6 months and both of us going to the spa they have there for a day. This place is very highly rated and is world-famous. So..in a nutshell, that's what we did. We went to a lot of cool places in Atlanta and Asheville, and we totally had a blast...no agenda...no schedule except for dinner reservations. It was awesome!!

 

awwwwww sounds great.....and it's not the typical i wanna go to hawaii or europe deal either :bigok:

 

Yup. We had talked about where we wanted to go a while back and we had both decided that we didn't want to start off our marriage by getting thousands of $$ in debt from a honeymoon. The most important part is that we were together. We would have had fun anywhere we went...we just wanted to keep it kinda close to home and reasonable in the $$ dept. Europe will be a definite trip in the not-so-distant future. Actually she's travelled all over the world. I am hoping to plan a trip to Spain for at least 2 weeks within the next 2 years...always been a dream of mine...and who better to take than my sweetheart?! Anyways...nuff ramblin...thanx for all the encouragement. We had a lot of people give us their "marrige advice", although the funny thing with that is that most of the people who think they are "advising" us on marriage are divorced. Kinda funny IMO. I'd rather take my advice from someone who is making their marriage work, not those whose had failed. If you don't like my viewpoint, it's ok...it's just my opinion. Thanks again everyone!!
