I'm Back!!! Breif...Well:)!!!
Hello All Brides!!! I'm back and I'm a WIFE!!!! Oooooh it's fun!!! I'm loving life and still on the high from my wedding and honeymoon!!! EVERYTHING was wonderful and I have loads of insight now!!! We're planning on renewing our vows in 10 years so that should be fun---again!!! Briefly, I want to say that the Oheka Castle was simply amazing!!! We were truly treated like a prince and a princess from the time we arrived the morning of the wedding!!! We did not see each other, but we spoke by cell phone twice!!! Our church ceremony was soulful and celebratory and we loved it!!! I didn't cry once and I almost RAN down the aisle to start the ceremony b/c I was sooo excited!! I was also an hour late, but what can you do:)!!! Our cocktail hour was magnificent and I actually was there for the last 25 minutes!!! I danced to our steel pan band and had a ball!!! The Oheka had people bringing us food while we we taking photos, they wouldn't allow us to HOLD a plate during cocktail hour!!! They HELD the plates for us as we walked around...UNBELIEVABLE!!!! We were pampered!!! We partied!!! We danced and had a ball! The Jazz Cigar Hour didn't end until 11:30pm, at which point about 30 close friends came up to our suite and hung out with us until about 4am and then six close friends, including my brother and sister, stayed over with us (in their own rooms)!!! We all got up together and ate off the breakfast carts and joked and it was wonderful!! I had really wonderful vendors too, and i will do run-down about each of them at a later date... I just wanted to say that the Oheka was unbelievable, and contrary to what I was told, my day didn't fly by at all...as a matter of fact, I would ask the time and I'd would be astonished that I had so much time left to contiue partying!!! It was FUN!!! I was truly present for all of it!!! We were party-goers as well and we really enjoyed the party (thanks to my DIVA-IN-CHARGE, Darlene, who had handled everything so that we did not have to handle A THING!!!) Our wedding weekend was wonderful.... ....And Tahiti? What can i say but unspoiled paradise!!! The cruise was WONDERFUL and our cabin, (800 sq ft) was OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD!!! And the Venetian in Las Vegas was a dream!!! The hotel is addictive!!! It was our first time there, and we'll never stay anyplace else... We are SPOILED!!! In a nut shell, it was FAB, but I still haven't explained it all, so I'll be back soon to update!!! I wish all who are getting married the very best and be present for it and it will go nice, SLOW and steady!!! God Bless!! Ayanna P.S. Not so brief huh??? Sorry!!!!
