Honeymoon(s) !!

We were lucky enough to have two honeymoons, one in Phuket, Thaïland, and one across the USA East Coast!

At one of the island we visited while touring on a boat all day



We also attempted to go kayaking.. Let's just say that it didn't last too long! It was so hot that the plastic of the paddles melted in our hands!! We returned to the beach after maybe 40minutes of battling the heat and the salt water, with bruised feet from the coral at the bottom of the ocean, and our hand blacked by the kayaking experience.

We went for thai massages and pedicures, and the grand total for this experience was a little under $20 each! One of us really enjoyed the pedicure..



We had amazing food.. And why tried to burn the extra calories off at the gym (0:




And now for Part 2; almost no pictures ahahah
The first leg of our drive was from Quebec City to Boston, where we attempted to go to a RedSox game, however we didn't time our adventure right, because it was the day of the Boston Marathon, and it made it too complicated to get to town with so many streets closed off.

We decided to troop on and drove to Washington, DC, which was amazing! I loved our 2 days spent there, where we toured the city, explored museums and again.. Ate unbelievable food (0:

With luck, we were able to secure tickets for the NBA playoffs game between Charlotte and Miami, and after a 17hours drive through the night, we arrived in Miami with time to spare for a well deserved nap before seeing 'The King James' in action!! I got right into the spirit with getting on stage during the pre-game event and getting my hair spray-painted with the Heat symbol. I got a tshirt..XL lol.


Next up; Tampa! We had tickets for the NHL playoffs game between Montreal and Tampa Bay, and I was so excited to see my least favorite team, Mtl, get beat by ANY team, really. Well, MTL won the serie in 4 games and I didn't get to see any hockey action.. So what's the next best thing on a vacation for me? Attractions parks!! 

We spent the most wonderful day upin Busch Gardens, did all the fun rides ( we are so fearless!! ) and saw all those wild and exotic animals!

Needless to say, the day took its toll on me..



Finally, we reached our 'honeymoon destination'; the beautiful Sanibel area on Captiva Island, Florida.
Unfortunately, we didn't take many pictures, as we were so busy having the time of our lives!!
We were treated like royalty by Jon, the resort manager and longtime friend of David, and his family.
We were able to enjoy ourselves on the beach, travel to see where David used to play ( and live ) and finally make our first married couple purchase; a coffee-maker (0:

April 11th, 2014

Surprise wedding!! 

After planning our wedding in secret from Korea, we arrived in Canada on April 1st and married on April 11th (0:

We celebrated our union in my favorite town in Nova Scotia; historic Lunenburg. With the help of our wonderful photographers One Blue Fish Photography, we now have wonderful memories to share with you!

David got there first, by himself... And when he texted me, I automatically texted Mel & Carly 'oh great! He doesn't have cold feet' ahahaha


This is while I was getting ready, doing my own hair and makeup. As you can tell, the stress hadn't settled in yet (0:



My dress was handmade in Vietnam.



I heard David come down the stairs and I hid behind the door to make sure he wouldn't see me .. I was just so excited and looking forward to our wedding (0:


Rafael was there too !! Xx


I was a little late coming downstairs, so Katie & Jenny entertained David.


Here we go!! And yes.. I stumbled on my dress ahaha. However was dad was so calm ( yes, my dad was CALM ) and told me to take my time and to enjoy this moment. Incredibly emotional!

David said his vows in French, and I said mine in English. Joan was our wonderful Justice of Peace.

WE DID IT!!

Blog is back!!

Hi!
I have had problems with the blog, since the email adress we used for it has been deleted by google ( gmail ) because we had not used it in a very long period of time. The problem was that most of the pictures are on the computer, but we couldn't log in to the blog because the email didn't exist anymore. After emailing with google, they told us that there was nothing they could do.. I was very frustrated and didn't want to deal with the complications.

However; the blog is still connected to the ipad and my iPhone, until we have to change those devises.. So for now; we will stick to this and when we encounter new problems, we can just create a new blog and put a new link up here!
