BAM from the Bahamas!!! (Pics! Finally. Slow and on mobile but it's something)

Okay. We just got home from our wedding/honeymoon yesterday. I don't have all of the pics back from everyone, so there might be another BAM later if that's not annoying. I'll start by telling you all how things went, and then it's picture time. Smiley winking

So, we got married on May 8, 2016 in Baltimore onboard the Carnival Pride cruise ship. The months prior to the wedding, Carnival was amazingly attentive and accommodating. I have nothing but good things to say about the preparation and planning. On the day of our wedding however, there was an accident. DMV locals may have heard about it on the news. The ship crashed into the gangway and crushed some vehicles. Our boarding was delayed by several hours. We were supposed to board at 11 AM and have the wedding at 1 PM. We boarded at 1:30 and the ceremony was at 2:30. The communication by phone was horrendous and the lack of organization or help as we walked half a mile to the ship was even worse. Luckily my DH's family was with me

    And they helped me lug everything onboard. We waited in a huge holding area until we could board. Luckily, I was able to dress on board, but the wind and crying in the morning made me look a bit messy. Once we were onboard, things got better. My ladies and I went to my stateroom to get me dressed and the photographer came for pre ceremony shots of me. Then it was off and up the elevator to the chapel. The ship is GORGEOUS. I was in awe. Also, passengers kept stopping me, including a little girl who raved over my dress and wanted to hug the "princess." Of course it made my day so much better.

    Then the ceremony started. The ceremony was short (40 minutes) but perfect because everyone was already exhausted. Afterword we took posed pictures of the wedding party and family. Then we had a cocktail hour reception with open bar. It all went by so quickly, but my best memories are

    - DH's nephew (ring bearer) handing me the rings as soon as I got up the aisle and saying "this is yours"

    - DH asking his Grandfather and my father if they wanted blowjobs. (We were taking shots ROTFL)

    - And of course marrying my best friend.
