Well, the wedding day has come and gone. It was an absolutely wonderful day. We had a small ceremony in the morning with our family and close friends, we had about 30 people at the wedding all together. It was held in my in-laws living room and my father married Mr Woodpecker and myself.
After the morning ceremony there was a lot of hanging around and chatting and drinking mimosas and eating finger foods. It was a lot of fun.
After the ceremony and mini-reception Mr Woodpecker and I received the BEST possible gift. I fear to tell you because a quick internet search would then completely remove all anonymity. So I’m going to keep it silent, but suffice to say it was so awesome we were featured on two local news stations and many national news organizations. That’s how awesome it was.
We then spent the next week on a cruise down Baja (on Carnival, I know we’re risk takers!) It was a wonderful honeymoon.
It feels so surreal to be married finally to the most amazing man I’ve ever met. I never could have imagined I’d be this happy.
Our total damage for the wedding + honeymoon? A bit over $7,000. And that was doing things exceptionally inexpensive.
Small Steps for Big Change 
Congrats getting married and wowsers under $7000 is very commendable.
Congrats!! all the best to you both. super-cool you were able to have an inexpensive wedding

Congrats! Now you have me very interested in the present 🙂

Congratulations! I’m so glad things went well, that you’re so happy, and that you stayed on budget 🙂 (BTW-You’ve totally piqued my curiousity about your gift, but I understand/respect your need for anonymity.)
Congratulations!!
Congratulations! May you have a long and happy life together!
Congratulations on your special day. I hope you have a wonderful honeymon.
Congratulations! Have a great life together.
Ps. Maybe you shouldn’t have mentioned being featured on media. Some people can be very nosy like me.
Congratulations! It’s been awhile since I’ve stopped by your blog, but just happened to today and saw this exciting news! I think I may know what your secret present was (I remember my husband sending me a link a couple of weeks ago…), but your secret is safe with me. Congrats again! Hope you are enjoying life in KC!
