Jamaica - Day 4 (May 19, 2005)
Greg and I woke up bright and early for our big day. :p I took a quick shower, made sure Greg has everything that he needs to bring with him to the ceremony, and dashed out the door to go to my hair appointment at the salon at 8:30. I stopped by my sister's room so we could walk over together. My sister was doing my Mom's hair before our hair appointment. It was crazy hectic. Our hair turned out awesome! :o) They ran a little bit over for our appointment though, so Luci's and Jo's appointments were a bit rushed. Anyway, after they got done with our hair, my sis and I went back to her room and she helped me with my makeup...after which, I ran back to Luci and Austin's room to change...all the while very carefully avoiding any paths that lead close to the beach (in case everybody's out there hanging around). :p
I arrived at about 9:30 to Austin's room. He was looking for me and opened the door for me. Then he disappeared. :o) Diane, Laura, and Christa all wanted to come over and help me out. They helped me get dressed, etc. As I was finishing, my sister arrived all dressed nice and pretty. We took some pics...then Jo and Luci showed up, and it was time to get on with the show. :o)
Nikki led us down a backway path so we wouldn't accidentally run into anyone going to the wedding. Chris followed us with the camera and documented the exodus. :p My parents and Greg's Dad and the groomsmen were there waiting for us (we were a little bit late). We paired up, they started the processional music, and we "walked in." There were some people who stopped to watch for a little while (I later found out that this couple who came on the same bus with us watched the whole thing from their balcony). :p
The ceremony was beautiful...and was quite hot. :o) Everything went as planned. After the ceremony, we signed our marriage license, and then walked over to the area where they had set up our reception. Everyone was about melting by now, so it was nice to get some champagne and cake. :o) Hee hee. We hung out for a little while, then everyone dispersed to go change for lunch.
We met up with everyone for lunch. :o) It was pretty fun. I still had my hair all up and stuff, so I was getting some funny looks when I was walking about. After lunch, I rested for a little while, and left to go to my 1/2 hour massage appointment. Boy did it feel good! :o) After the massage, I met up with everyone at the beach (as always), until it was time to get ready for dinner.
Nikki reserved the waterfall area of the main dining room for us to have our dinner reception. :o) It was pretty there, and we had our own menu and everything. We celebrated Luci's birthday with a candle on her dessert. Fun time was had by all.

Ha ha. You think that's a lot of pictures that I've posted...? We ended up with around 1300 pictures for just the Jamaica trip, and then another 150 or so for the reception in Dallas... :p
