This is a space for dream words, love words, flying words, fall down, and get up words. First it begins inside your heart. Something moves, opens, frees itself. And now you feel a rhythm breaking it's long silence. This is going to be good. Be creative. Be generous. Be bold. For it is here that we begin to tell our story.

The Big Day: a sneak peak

Just before the ceremony began...













During the ceremony...
(I know it's sideways... I don't know how to fix it.... )
Exchanging rings.

 Just after the ceremony... we love these people and are so thankful for their love and support that they have given us in all our endeavors, especially our relationship together. 

And then it was time for pictures... pictures... and more pictures...


He peaked up my dress... and I was falling. Can anyone say EMBARRASSED?!?!

Viva Honeymoon!!!

First of all, we'd like to say a big THANK YOU for everyone's support in our new marriage! We were so happy to see so many of our friends and family at the reception! 

After our perfect day and a relaxing night, we left for Las Vegas!!! We arrived at the fabulous Excalibur Hotel just in time to check in, and head down for their fabulous dinner show, The Tournament of Kings!

There were princes, jousting, races, and even a fight against an evil dragon man. Quite the spectacle! Plus, we were able to enjoy a fabulous meal of tomato soup, cornish hen, broccoli, potatoes, biscuits, and an apple turnover. No silverware. Just our hands! Hazzah!!! So much fun!

The next day we got to go see The Lion King! An absolutely stunning production! The way they created the animals and really brought them to life was breathtakingly amazing. Sorry, no pictures. No cameras allowed. But, take my word for it, it was fantastic.

It was slightly chilly that evening, but we went out and walked the strip for a  bit anyway! Got to see the water show at the Bellagio, the volcano show at the Mirage and the Sirens at Treasure Island! All three were a lot of fun to watch, but the water show was probably my favorite!

He kept me warm and we had a really good time :)

And of course.... we couldn't leave without...

A Caramel Apple!!!


We were able to spend some time with his family as well while we were out there. It was wonderful to BBQ with everyone together in the sunshine. Though it wasn't quite warm enough to swim, it was nice to be outside!

Now we're home, and though we miss the weather and the vacation, we're happy to be home and still absolutely in love.

Much love to you all! And more to come from our little Matagi family.
