 I'm sorry that you're sick. I would hug you to thank you, but I don't wanna get sick. 
Okay, so normally my journal would have the pics up first, but since I'm only 2% done with the actual entry, I'll post the pics that I do have here. I have more, but I'm too lazy right now to pull them from the disc, save them to the HD and then upload them. I've had enough of that for a while. Plus, when I'm fully done, I'll have a mini description as well. So for now, enjoy!!

*sniffle* My illness is self induced, I collapsed at work - the Dr said it was a combination of stress and exhaustion, but alas not contagious, so feel free to hug me. I'll watch my hands.  (I've not learned my lesson I can't afford more than one day off)
I've flicked through all the pics and you all look like you had a great time! I really regret not being able to come - renew your vows in Wales
As a bride you look radiant Anya, as the risk of betraying my oh-so-macho image may I say the dress looked wonderful, and I suppose what got me is how happy you look As someone whom I consider a good friend, well that makes me really happy for you
No those are NOT tears in my eyes, I just have something in them... dust or something...got that? |

Congratulations. I hope it works out well for both of you. |

Originally posted by Uncle Elmo Yeah. What he said. I´m also very happy for you. The view in animal kingdom looks awesome. I hope you had a nice time in Bahamas. Many interesting pics you got there. And you look incredibly beautiful as a bride.
I hope this marriage will last for a very long time and I wish both of you eternal luck.
Once again, I´m really happy for you. |

| Thanks guys! And I didn't think I looked pissed off in any of the pics. Well, some of the early morning pics I really wasn't awake, but that's all I can think of. |

Cruel Justice I have better things to do. Since: 11-18-05 From: At my house! Last post: 6278 days Last view: 6277 days |

| I almost got confused. At first I thought you were the lady in the black colorful dress.
Nice pictures though!  An outdoor wedding near an ocean(?) beats the typical chapel kind. |

| Okay, now that I’m back to reality, where should I start with this journal entry? And believe me, I don’t want to be back to reality but it has to be done, I guess.
After working 12 hours on Wednesday, you would think that I would go straight to bed. But I was way to excited to do so and I stayed up until around 1am, knowing that I had to be up again at 4am. Of course, when I woke up again, I was sleepy as hell, cranky, wanted to go back to bed, yet overly excited, so I wasn’t felling too hot overall. Once on the road, I tried to sleep, but I really wasn’t able to, so I listened to the few songs that I had on my PsP. For some reason, the night before, I wasn’t able to get the songs that I had ripped from my CDs (thanks Colin for the help!!) to the computer to my PsP to work, so my song selection was very limited. I mostly had DDR songs (Chris loves Sakura) and a few others here and there. So we get to the Animal Kingdom Lodge and the place is very, very nice. Of course it’s a themed lodge, so it was like a safari. They have different types of animals surrounding the lodge, so you can see them outside your window; that is, if you have a good view. We met up with Chris’ brother and his wife and nephews in the lobby and after we were checked in, we went to our rooms to throw down our luggage. We were to hit two parks that day and we were running a bit late, so breakfast had to be rushed and once we were done we went off to Animal Kingdom. Nice Park, but I wouldn’t do it again, unless I could go behind the scenes or if the new attraction is open, Mt Everest. We had lunch at the Rain Forest Café and they had these drinks that you could get in a cup that light up. We had three of those on the table and it too us a while to figure out how to turn them off. After lunch we went to Magic Kingdom, which I’ve been to four times, and I knew what I wanted to ride. Unfortunately, it was a bit chilly out, so we couldn’t go on Splash Mountain, but we went on all the other good rides. The boys really liked Space Mountain, which was the last ride we went on before the parade and the fireworks. Day two found us at Epcot and I found myself thinking about that one Simpson episode where Homer is trying to escape Epcot and he jumps over a wall and he is so happy and buys a churro and its $20 or so dollars and then you hear him say, “D’oh!�; I swear that scene was playing over and over in my head during the whole time. I mean, they had a few cool rides there, but I wouldn’t do it again. Chris loved Mission Space, as did most of the guys, save for the youngest nephew, Ben. The first time that we went on it, I had taken a Dramamine that morning, but I still felt a little out of it, and my guess (and others) is that I closed my eyes and I looked over at Ben, so I was a tad bit disorientated, to say the least. I mean, the whole concept of the ride is amazing, but with those G-force winds hitting you, it’s just a bit more than I can normally take. Now Soarin’ that was an amazing ride. You fly through different areas of the world and you can actually smell the water, oranges and pine trees. We had lunch that day at a place where you are surrounded by an aquarium; very cool and its something that I’ve never seen before. The tank had large turtles and different types of small sharks. That night, Chris’ dad surprises us by renting a boat to see the fireworks display. The only bad thing was that the boat is only allowed to carry 10 people and we had 11. Luckily, the chick driving the boat went back to get his dad so we were all able to see the show, minus the crowds. Too bad the smoke was directed at us because of the wind. After Disney was all said and done, we had to drive over to Port Canaveral to catch the ship that would take us away and unfortunately will take us back again. Since we were already checked in by the resort, we didn’t have to check in at the cruise line. So once we were able to, we boarded the ship. Since the rooms were not ready yet, we had to sit down and have breakfast. Well, that was fine, but I was carrying a large garment bag with my dress in it. Thank goodness they were going to press it before the wedding. So anyway, I wasn’t in the mood to eat, since so much was going on around me and I was worried about my stuff. So after the rooms were available, I felt a little bit better. But something had happened at the hotel, that wasn’t letting me be totally at ease. You see, we were supposed to be back at the hotel by 10am so we could be there when they picked up our baggage. We got back to our room at 9:45am and our stuff was gone. When we were about to leave for the Port, Gretchen’s bag was missing as well and it took us an hour to look and ask around about it. Turns out, they took her bag as well to the ship without anyone knowing. So when we got to our rooms on the ship, I didn’t see our luggage, so I was still a bit worried. When we walked into our room on the ship, there were decorations everywhere and a small desert tray and wine. It was very lovely. I also noticed a paper on the bed, saying that we had to be downstairs (in the port) at 3pm. You see, we had to get married before we left the US, so it would be legal in the states. Chris and I took the paper to his mom’s room and she called just to make sure that we had to be there at that time. Turns out, we had to be there at 2:30pm; it was 2:20pm. So we all had to rush downstairs as fast as we could. We get into the room where the ceremony would take place and the Justice of Peace is talking to us and she mentions someone that we didn’t know. At that moment she knew that she had the wrong wedding party. Now, before all of this had started, we were told that it would be one wedding per cruise, so we were like, what the fuck is going on here? We rushed downstairs and find out that we were 30 minutes early?! So we finally went in, and this was the part where I was really nervous but it went really well, despite the drama that we had to go through before hand. We then went back to our rooms, and thankfully the luggage was all there. I took a Dramamine, just in case I would get sea sick and then we just relaxed before dinner. The food on that ship is unbelievable! If you don’t like something, they’ll server you a different dish. The waiter and drink waitress follows you throughout the entire cruise. Each night you’re at a different restaurant with a new menu and the same wait staff follows you, which is great because they get a feel for what you like. Our wait staff as great; their names were Ralph (or King Ralph) and Diana, very nice people and fun to be with during this whole experience. But yeah, the food, oh my good, the best I have ever had, ever. We went to Nassau Bahamas and the place is very nice. Not a place where I would like to live, but still, nice. Chris, I, Bill (his brother) and his three sons were set to go on a shore excursion with sting rays. I was a bit nervous the whole time (I was stung by a man-o-war when I was younger) so I stayed back for the most part. Chris didn’t want to go into the water, but I was able to convince him to do so. Unfortunately, he went into the water with his wallet, which is totally ruined now. After that was all said and done, we had lunch, I swam a bit in the water (which was a bit on the chilly side) and we had a few drinks. Rum is cheaper on the islands, so a Rum and Coke has more Rum than anything else. The eldest nephew became sick from falling as sleep in the sun, so for the rest of the day, he was asleep. He started to feel better later on. That night, I, Chris, Bill, Bill, Joe, Joey, and Michelle went to the Atlantis Casino; very nice and expensive. I didn’t gamble much and Chris lost $60, so it wasn’t that bad of a turn out; could have lost a lot more. While in Nassau, I had my dress pressed for the wedding the next day. When we came back to the room, I found that they returned the wrong dress to the wrong room. Oh, and I was pissed off, as well as the rest of the family. I mean, this is something highly important, you don’ fuck this up, especially for the amount of money that as paid. Thankfully they fixed the problem and I got my dress back later that day. I had to wake up at 7:30am to be at the salon at 8am to get my hair done. I was there two days ago getting my hands and feet done; very relaxing place. I was by myself for about 30 minutes before Gretchen (my maid-of-honor) came by. My hair was amazing and it turns out that I had about 27 pins in my hair and an industrial twist tie holding it up. When I was done there, we went back to my room to get ready. We were picked up about 15 minutes after everyone had left. We had to take a golf cart to the place where the ceremony would take place. It was just a nice area with the beach, the water and the ship in the background. So yea, I think it was worth the wait. The reception was in a small restaurant known as Palo. It was sweet and to the point. Bill didn’t’ know he had to make a toast (and he’s been married twice and been to weddings, so he should have known better) and it was very funny when he said, “Live long,� and we thought he was about to say “prosper� as well. It was a shame that we only had one dance, which was to the Areosmith song, “I Don’t Wanna Miss a Thing�, I mean, you would think for the amount of money paid, you would have the father/daughter and mother/son dance, but they didn’t. Still, it was very nice. Afterwards, we went back to our rooms to change and to head out to the beach. Chris and I were solo for a bit before meeting up with Gretchen, her parents, and Chris’ mom at the private beach at Castaway. Very nice waters save for the really shallow areas and the seaweed. While in the water, Chris and I saw a sting ray. We mentioned it a loud and all of the adults came over to see, acting like little kids, it was cute! Since I didn’t have to worry about watching my weight and not being drunk, after the wedding, I didn’t care anymore. Of course, it turns out that I didn’t gain any weight anyway, so that’s a good thing. Anyway, that night was Pirates in the Caribbean Night where everyone is dressed up as pirates. It was a lot of fun and I ended up getting really toasted that night. The next day was a full day out in sea so we had to find stuff to do. Chris and I stayed in bed a bit later and had breakfast out on the balcony of our room. One of the fun events that a few of us took part in was the Martini tasting. You pay $15 for 5 different types of Martinis. Funny thing is, we went there at 2pm, so by 2:30pm, we’re nice and toasted. So there you have it! The pictures will say more than the entry, I think, so enjoy them. I’ll try to add more as they come in.

Since he and Chad watched our apartment and cats while we were away, we wanted to take them out to dinner. That Saturday we took Chad out to Chili’s and Shannon came along as well. Sunday took us to the western side of Florida where I saw my dad and grandmother and gave them a DVD of the wedding. I have to be back at work on Wednesday so its back to reality! Chris is already planning our one year anniversary on another cruise line. Hopefully we can make it happen, since we had so much fun! |

Schweiz oder etwas [12:55] (Dr_Death16); I swear, the word drama needs to be stricken from the dictionary, for I've heard it so many times, it will permanently be imprinted on my brain  Since: 11-17-05 From: Kingston, Rhode Island Last post: 6277 days Last view: 6277 days |

| Heh, looking at the pictures of your wedding made me remember... There is an outside world out there. I'm jealous now. It kinda makes me wonder if I'll ever be that happy.
Seeing all of those people happy, seeing the smiling faces and the truth of the matter, that you two really do love each other, it makes a crusty old man like me soften up a good bit. It was so obvious from the pictures alone, from how excited you were about the entire ordeal, everything just points straight to a successful marriage, and a great life ahead of you. Congratulations, Anya. I hope you two are happy together. |

| Grey you're not old or crusty. *glomps*
Also Anya that dress looks radiant on you.  Nice tattoo by the way. Also the cake was cute with Mickey and Minnie on the top. I'd so want to go on a cruise now and I know my aunt won't take me. Seeing as she's going soon with her mom, sister and one of her brothers for her mom's b-day. I don't want to fly either and it's probably too late to even ask. My dad would probably say no anyway.  |
