Beautiful Antigua

Patrick and I honeymooned at the Sandal's Resort in Antigua!!

Antigua is a British island in the Caribbean, north of Guadeloupe and east of St. Kitts and Nevis.  It was beautiful!  After all the hustle ans bustle of the wedding, it was nice to just lay out by the pool and relax.





One of days we were there, we went on a catamaran cruise around the island.  It was amazing!  I love being out on the water.  The Caribbean side is aqua colored, the waves are calm and you can see the bottom in most places - especially where the coral sits. The Atlantic side, is very blue - a deep sapphire blue!  The waves we a lot bigger and the water was a little cooler.  Being water/wave obsessed, I liked the Atlantic side the best!









The Sandal's Resort is positioned on the northwest side of the island in Dickenson Bay.  The setting made for some beautiful sunset pictures our last night.

The wedding

6 months after the fact, I think its time to finally time to update the blog and talk about the wedding!

It was beautiful! The weather did not cooperate at all, but everything turned out wonderful despite the cold rain! Since a picture is worth a 1000 words, this post will mostly be pictures from the wedding and bridal pictures. All pictures were taken by Jason Hardesty!

Bridals:

The Girls, The Boys, The Blacks, and The Hymels!

The Wedding:

 


The Reception:  The wedding and the reception we at the Historical Calcasieu Marine National Bank.  Melissa Limberis was the wedding planner/ event designer/ decorator - and she did an amazing job!
 


The beautiful and very delicious cake was made by Cypi's Cake Box.

To add another very unique experience, we had a hot dog stand come in towards the end of the night!!  They were also very yummy!


 Another super cool thing we did, was a photobooth.  It was tons of fun and I think everyone thoroughly enjoyed it!  Here are a few of my favorites from the photobooth:
