What was your favorite part of your wedding day? It seemed to go by so fast, but I did manage to take a few moments just to sit back and observe and take it all in, which was nice. It really could not have gone smoother which I was also happy about.
What was your favorite vacation ever? I would say going to Key West with my DH when we had first started dating. I think this is when I knew he was "the one."

What have you learned about marriage since you've been married? Well we are still newlyweds, but I'm kind of surprised that it is not more different. We have known each other for over 10 years, we have been together as a couple for the past 5 years and we got married in March. So I guess we knew each other quite well before we started dating. Not that I was expecting any huge changes.
