430 Days

My fiance proposed to me 22 days ago, and we are getting married on November 4th, 2013 in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. In the last 3 weeks we have definitely decided on 3 places where we were going to get married, but i'm pretty sure this is the one. So, Here's the plan. October 30th - leave in a big van with 15 people to drive from California to Miami,Florida. Woo Hoo road trip! November 1st - Arrive in Miami, Florida, and it'll probably be more like Woo Hoo! the road trip is over! Which is fine, because we'll be relaxed enough soon, and it'll all just be a funny memory of the arguments over who's driving and who has to pee for the 20th time in 10 miles. November 2nd - We board our cruise ship! Yay! Excitement is in the air and bruised egos and exhausted bodies are revamped and ready for fun and relaxation. November 3rd - Drinkin pina coladas and chillin in the pools on our way to Jamaica man! Well, in the morning anyways, the second half of the day will more likely be spent in wedding prep, making sure everything is ready for tomorrow, and getting a really good night's sleep. Am I supposed to sleep in the same room as the groom the day before our wedding? hm...have to think about that one. Also, the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner will probably be on this night. Wow, writing all of this is really helping me think of things I was forgetting. November 4th - Here comes the bride! And it better be a damn good entrance, I do love a good entrance. Busy morning, running around like chicken's with our head's cut off, champagne toast with the girls while we get ready, and a shot of Captain Mo as well if I have anything to say about it. ;-) take some photos around the ship with the photographer, and get in the boat to get over to the shore for our wedding. Have our beautiful, short and cavity creatingly sweet wedding ceremony, and enjoy our 1 hour reception. Then take the whole gang into Ocho Rios and do some exploring before our wedding dinner at a restaurant I still need to look into picking. November 5th - So, now we need to decide if we are going to go to Grand Cayman with everybody, or go onto our honeymoon from here...If we decide to go on from here, i think a couple of days in Jamaica sounds find to me. :-) From this point on, it's all up in the air, but here's the more tentative part of my plan: November 8th - Leave Jamaica for the Dominican Republic. November 13th - Leave the Dominican Republic for Puerto Rico. November 19th - Leave Puerto Rico for BVI November 21st - Leave BVI for Antigua and Barbuda November 23rd - Leave Antigua and Barbuda for Montserrat November 25th - Leave Montserrat for Dominica where we will spend the last week. December 2nd - Fly from Dominica to Puerto Rico December 3rd - Fly from Puerto Rico to LAX and go home :-( December 5th - Update this blog with fantastic stories to fill in all the blanks!
