so sad, so sad... we're back from our honeymoon!

There's nothing like spending a week in PARADISE...
and then having to pack up and go home.

our honeymoon was perfection.
Not that everything went perfectly,
since we did fly into a hurricane, and our resort shut down our first day there and we weren't allowed to leave our ROOMS!
Yes, I am for real, and yes it did look like a paradise ghost town.
Look how empty!



So the first day of our honeymoon wasn't so hot-
but seriously, the rest of it was to die for.
okay, minus our excursion.. but!

We stayed at Excellence Playa Mujeres, outside of Cancun...
It was phenom.
Never Ever have we had so much time to lay around and do
Absolutely
Nothing.
I found out on our trip that I am REALLY good at that.

We had the best time everyday, waking up when we felt like it, eating as much as we wanted, laughing our heads off- The whole thing was a dream!
Honeymoons are such a smart tradition.
Because, the newlywed couple has spent the past several months in a constant state of CRAZY.
If it's not a million to-do's for the wedding, than it's moving into a new place,
still maintaining a good work ethic and service to others...
HARD THING TO DO!

Getting to spend so much time with the Mister was so wonderful. We spent the whole time laughing and exclaiming that we couldn't believe we were actually married.

We had all these grand plans of adventures and Mayan Ruins and zip-lining over the jungle and swimming with dolphins-
the only 2 things we actually did:
1. Couples Massage and Hydrotherapy Unit
2. Parasailing (i've been several times. I will never ever go again. it was the most terrifying experience of my life. the hurricane winds were blowing, and we were not strapped in in any way. we held on for dear life and prayed the entire time. it was the only stress we had that entire week, yet we both almost hyperventilated. I could have peed my pants except every muscle in my body was pre-occupied with holding myself on the seat so I wouldn't drop to my death. )

Otherwise, the King and I had a ball! and i want to go back, like, 2 hours ago.


Oh, and the scenery and rooms weren't bad either.

Hip-Hop-Happily Married!


So, as you already know- the wedding is long gone and I am married to the delightful Mr. King now! Every single second of our wedding week went perfectly, everyone was wonderful to us, and our wedding turned out even better than I had dreamed.

Such a relief, and such a joy!

Seriously, when my good old dad and i turned the corner for our emotional walk down the aisle, I was so elated to see that everything was dreamy and magical and exquisite! I cannot wait to show off all the pics because I am so proud of the whole event.

It truly was the best day of our lives!
There really is nothing like it. It is the most elating, peaceful, fulfilling thing, to be joined to the one you love, in the presence of the ones who love you.

so now we are newlyweds, and living in a constant state of bliss..
I sure hope it never ends, because as of right now,
we think that the other is the most amazing person on earth, with the best style and funniest jokes and the most brilliant ideas ever.
Which means he is giving me way more credit than my jokes deserve,
and I am just being honest about him.

A few pics from our Grand Affair....

the sweet mr. king

While going through pictures for our Rehearsal Dinner Slide Show, I found a few of the King that I absolutely adore! now, I am fairly certain i was a pretty gosh-darn cute kid.

But looking at His baby pics, I am convinced he was the cutest thang ever. and i REALLY hope someday (a long long time from now!) we have a little boy or 2 that looks just like him!

I mean realllllly!

Engagement Pictures at the FAIR!

Prepare your hearts now for the most magical engagement pictures ever taken... and no it is NOT because Mr. King is the most handsome man on Earth!!!

These pictures were taken in October at the State Fair here in town, by the Infamous Matt Swaggart. And you want to know something??
Everything he does is as good as this.
All of it.
So go to www.swaggartphotography.com and look at his genius work!





sincerely, the carnie kings

when Harry met Caity..

So two of my BFF's and their amazing Moms threw Harold and I the Couples Shower to TRUMP all Couples Showers of all times....

Think 20's + Great Gatsby meets Carnival + feathers + pearls + all my favorite treats and sweets....
and that is what it was. I never wanted to leave. I wanted to just take residence at the party and live there, it was SO fun!

All of our friends are so great, and dressed up with style, and brought us terrific gifts. Harold and i drove home that night (yes, I did eventually have to leave, bummer) exclaiming
a. how fun our friends are
b. how amazing the hostesses were
c. how excited we were to move our fun gifts into our place
d. how we are in LOVE!

Enter Party Pics:

super sorry, homies.

My EXTREME apologies go out to all the people who really and truly believed me when I said I wouldn't slack off on this blog during all of the wedding craziness.

I fibbed, ok? Actually that's not true.
I really didn't know what I was promising.

Soon after my most recent post, I was so busy I barely had time to wash my hair. (but not in the, 'my hair is dry so i only wash once a week- Oh my hair is sooooooo not the case'...) But anyway! Ce La Vie!

Anyway, the King and I are INDEED MARRIED! woohoo! and don't worry, I am going to backtrack and fill you in on allllllll the exciting deets you missed while i was too busy being a bridey....

So... Deep Breath.
Here come the Updates!
