We did it!

I am not sure whether many brides get to really enjoy their weddings (I've heard plenty of horror stories) but I definitely did.

It was really funny because once we got to Jamaica, all the stress of planning the whole thing just melted away.

Our neighbours in the next villa were so shocked when they went on their balcony before the sunset and realized that they were witnessing a wedding taking place on the gazebo. They said they had to get out their binoculars to make sure that it was really us.

I think it was because we had the chillest day. We went swimming in the warm ocean, then laid in the sun, read books and spent the whole day just enjoying ourselves. Then we realized it was almost time for our wedding and we got dressed and off we went.

Both Stefan and I were a bundle of nerves. But once the ceremony started, all of that also melted away. We both had our own vows in addition to the ones the minister had. There were some tears but mostly laughter.

For the next few days, almost every couple at the hotel were telling us how if they had to do their wedding all over again, they too would have done it by themselves.

I am glad that we did it the way we wanted to because we really had the perfect wedding.
