Well, it's 6pm (Mexico Time), in our luxurious suite in Playa Del Carmen Mexico. Amber and I are getting ready to go out for dinner, our third as a married couple. We are staying at the Blue Bay Grand Esmerelda, and beautiful all inclusive resort on the Mayan Riviera just 50 or so minutes from Cancun.
As we relaxed by the pool today, taking a few pictures of another wedding that was happening on the beach, I realized that I hadn't yet made a blog entry. So I vowed to do so when we got back to the room. So here we go.
First off, we want to thank everyone who helped with the wedding on Saturday, what an incredible day, it was one of a kind, and I want to say I won't forget a minute of it, but we all know I soon will, it's impossible to remember every detail, of every moment. I think that is why they invented the wedding photographer, and videographers. Steve, Stacey, Adam and Shaun from Aexian studios couldn't have done a better job. I've worked with them all summer documenting everyone else's wedding, and I can't say how fun and exciting it was to have them there on our day, making sure that every moment was captured and recorded forever.
The ceremony was perfect, short and sweet, just the way I like it, the reverend was amazing, he was truly one of a kind, and we're grateful he married us, what a wonderful gentleman.
The hall was incredible, way more than I expected, when I first walked in I was totally shocked, I couldn't believe how well the colors (or lack thereof) came together to create the perfect blend of color and design.
Thanks to everyone for coming, it was an honor to spend out day with all of you, and though I may not have spent a lot of time talking to everyone, please know that you were all there for a reason, we love you all, and we are so happy that you came to celebrate our marriage, and hopefully, if you are married, we hope that you celebrated your love as well.
After the reception, we went home, packed up our things, and waited about an hour or two for Niagara Airbus to pick us up. No sleep for us, and it was painful.
We kinda slept a little bit, cuddled, and cold in the back of the bus, as we picked up a few older people on the way. We made it to the Toronto Airport at approximately 6:30am, and waited to board the plane. We were forced to watch news of the Marriott in India (I think India) on fire after a bombing, and some CFL football highlights. Half asleep, half zombies, neither of us were feeling too well, but we boarded the plane, and took off for Mexico.
I spent the 4 hour flight, trying to sleep. Amber slept for about 30 minutes before being woken up by some pretty bad turbulence. I cannot sleep on a plane, I've never been able too, I think my body is immune to it.
We landed in Cancun at about 12:30pm local time, took a shuttle bus to the resort, and were amazed at how beautiful it is here. We have a garden view room. Not the greatest view, but then again, we haven't really spent much time looking out the balcony. We did a lot of exploring yesterday, walking around the pools, going to the beach etc. Then we were in bed by about 8:30pm, we watched Mean Girls on t.v. (In English, thank god), then fell asleep.
We woke up early this morning met with our travel rep, and booked a few excursions that are going to be great. I will post more about them as we do them. Tomorrow we are headed out to the Coba Mayan Village tour. We visit one of the Mayan Pyramids, and then we go swimming in a sink hole or something, and then visit a Mayan Village. Should prove to be a great time.
Then Thursday we've book the Tulum and Xel-Ha one of the world's natural wonders. It's the world's largest natural aquarium, where fresh and salt water meet. Apparently you can snorkel through, and see sea turtles on the bottom, and fresh water fish on top, because there is literally a level of fresh water, overtop of the salt water. There are a lot of other things to do there as well, scuba diving, and cliff jumping to name a few that I will definitely be partaking in.
Well, that's sort of what we have in store for the week, I will try and post more as the week progresses, both on this site, and my own personal site. I've already got a few great pictures, but unfortunetly I forgot my card reader and usb cable at home, so we have no way of capturing them. I will post them when I return.
Hope everything back home is great with everyone, and thanks again for Saturday, it was incredible.
