So this is a tad late,
but I wanted to start a blog as a family :o)

For the first blog, I will be bringing over my entry from right after we got married!

"So...

WE DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And to the tell you the truth I am still on Cloud 9!!!

Planning a wedding is stressful... and to try and please everyone is impossible. It was really starting to take away from what the day is supposed to mean. So we decided to elope... knowing it possibly might upset certain loved ones. But we hoped that they would understand why and how much we loved each other and we didn't want this long drawn out thing, we just wanted to get married and start our lives together as Mr. & Mrs. Weddell!!!

So we did it!!!

The week before was alittle stressed, but we couldn't get over our excitement about what we were about to do!!!

On THE day, the sun was beating down hot... unseasonably warm! But as soon as I stepped outside finally in my dress and all done up... it had cooled drastically!!!

My Mom and I drove to Cove Beach after taking some pictures... when I stepped out of the car, everyone made me feel beautiful :o) especially my soon-to-be husband! This was the first time I was at this side of Cape May. It was the most beautiful beach, perfect <3 The sun was setting, and if you looked out the view was incredible... the jetties and the lighthouse in the distance and of course the cove! The sun was warm, the breeze was cool and the soundtrack was the waves crashing into the jetties and the sand...

The Reverend was so nice and funny!!! He made everyone feel at ease... Iwasn't nervous at all though... just super excited!!! In minutes, I was going to be Mrs. Weddell!!! We started the ceremony, and I couldn't take my eyes off of Pete, he looked amazing... but his eyes... full of love and so sincere <3 I fought back the tears really hard especially when he starting saying his vows... I love him so much. We were squeezing each other's hands and whispering 'I love yous.' I tried to show him how much he meant to me while I spoke my vows to him. I didn't mess up once!

I was already floating off to Cloud 9 and tried to hold on so I could hear and remember everything... and I did... and "I now pronounce you man and wife!" <3 I didn't want to let him go!!! It felt amazing that my parents were there. It felt so right. It felt perfect :o)

And so on Sunday, April 26th, 2009, in Cape May, New Jersey at Sunset on Cove Beach, we became MR. & MRS. WEDDELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The most unforgettable and happiest day of my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
