Thank you everyone for your kind wishes! We are back from Disney! Our wedding day was absolutely amazing, and the honeymoon was also fantastic. I'm going to slowly start a wedding report and a honeymoon TR soon! However, my computer died shortly before the wedding and I'm hoping Jason can fix it soon so I can upload all of my photos... I don't want to put them all on his laptop if I can help it! But until I start, here are some sneak peeks of photos from the wedding that my sister took:

Thanks so much! The new name is going to take some getting used to though!

Thank you so much!!
Thanks, you're so sweet!
Thank you! My dad said he had never seen me as happy as when he was walking me down that aisle. Which is funny, because at that point I felt so nervous I thought I was going to puke!
Thanks so much. Soon I'll have lots more pictures to share!
WELCOME BACK MRS.!!!!!!

The good news: our photographer mailed the CD with photos today, so we should have them soon and I will officially start the wedding report! The bad news: the part in my computer that Jason was trying to replace doesn't fit exactly right so we needed to order an adapter, which will take another week or so to arrive. Boo, I really miss having my own computer 
But in the meantime I figured I would start sharing some of the other pre-wedding stuff. Let's begin with the Thursday before, which was the Bachelorette Party! This was an interesting day. I spent some of the day shopping with my mom, picking up some last minute items and whatnot.
Then that afternoon I drove to the train station to pick up my pen pal, Martin, you was visiting all the way from Norway! It worked out that he and his mom were thinking about a trip to see New York City anyway, and he planned it so that he could come out to Long Island for the wedding! We've been writing back and forth for maybe about six years, but this was the first time we met. He turned out to be a complete sweetheart and everyone loved him!
In the evening, for the Bachelorette Party, we went to The Melting Pot to enjoy some melted cheese and chocolate. Of my five bridesmaids, I knew Linda was not going to be there since she was coming from PA and would not be around til the next day. However, about half an hour before we left another bridesmaid, Sarah, called and said she wouldn't be able to make it because her grandmother was sick and she was helping to take care of it. Well, the reservation was for five people, so what did we do? We brought Martin along!
Here's a guy that I've known for 6 years but only met in person for a few hours... and what do we do? We drag him along to a bachelorette party! Luckily we did not make him wear the bridesmaid t-shirt. Sarah missed pretty much every wedding event except the wedding itself (which is kind of another story), so in many ways Martin actually was our fill-in bridesmaid! He was quite a good sport about it.
The Melting Pot was great. I ordered the Love Martini - very appropriate
It's hard to see in this picture but we got some of the chocolate that they flambe and set on fire, so of course everyone was trying to get a picture of the flames:
The Melting Pot was very nice and even helped us celebrate! They gave me this special plate for dessert:
After the Melting Pot we went back to my house, made more martinis, and watched 27 Dresses. Poor Martin fell asleep about two minutes into the movie, given the fact that he had flown from Norway and had been awake for over 24 hours! But we all had a very good day and I loved having a pretty chill bachelorette party.
Next I'll update on the rehearsal day - which may very well have been one of the worst days ever. But if you've done any theatre you know that they say "bad dress rehearsal, great performance" - which is basically exactly what happened here! Awful rehearsal day, great wedding

Ah! Yay for bachelorette party!! Sorry to hear about the flakey bridesmaids, but hey it happens. All that matters is that you make the best of it! And your friend Martin's a cutie! ;D haha.
I've never been to Melting Pot but heard it's AWESOME.

It was delicious! And Martin was great, I'm very lucky to have him as a friend
Haha I think he had a good time! We told him it was a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience some American culture by going to a bachelorette party!
Yeah, always the bridesmaid drama! But I'm really glad that I didn't let it get to me - I normally get upset by little things like that but I just knew I couldn't deal with more stress so I refused to let it bother me! And Martin is a cutie - my MOH was like, "Becky how can you stand bringing this hot guy into your life two days before you get married??"
I think almost everyone had a bit of a crush on him - even Jason!

Check it out if you get a chance, I haven't started the reviews yet but will soon. I'm also going to try and update this thread with the rehearsal and dinner later tonight or tomorrow!

Becky!! Your bachelorette party looked like so much fun! Definitely my kind of evening! It's so great that Martin was able to come along ! I bet he had a blast!! And what a cutie! I bet your BM's didn't mind at all! 
I'm hoping that all of my girls will be able to do something together. It's hard now that I'm in Florida, and they are scattered all over the place. But if Martin can come all the way from Norway, then maybe my girls can get together somehow. Mind if I guilt trip them with that? Can't wait for more updates!
