Honeymoon in Bermuda


We could not have asked for a better honeymoon! Bermuda was beautiful, relaxing and romantic. A BIG thank you to everyone who sent us here through honeymoon gifts!






When snorkeled and dove a shipwreck from the 1800's, cruised the island on scooters, swam with schools of angel fish, and enjoyed a lot of great meals by the sea.



The architecture was amazing, colorful and historic.



As part of the UK, the island was filled with British influence.



Our last night there, we had an amazing dinner at the top of the historical Gibbs lighthouse.



Sunset at our cabana.






Preoneymoon on Orcas Island: The 3 romantic days before our wedding.

Our best advice to any future Bride and Grooms? Take a "Pre-oneymoon."

3 days before our wedding, we were whisked away in a seaplane to Orcas Island, where we relaxed in a romantic beach-front cabin. It gave us a chance to unwind and focus on what this whole wedding thing was about: Each other.

Thank you to the family and friends who worked hard to get our reception ready so that we could take this time alone.



The calm shores of Orcas made for a perfect spot to write our vows.





We enjoyed island made ice cream by the beach.


We spent our time kayaking, swimming at the lake, and eating at some of the best food the island has to offer. The night before our wedding, we shared a bottle of wine and an impeccable dinner at Ship's Bay.
