Wedding Day – 10 Years Ago
By TheAngelForever | June 24, 2011
Wow. Ten years ago today I married JL. Way back in the day, he was not TechyDad. The Angel Forever was getting ready to become the Mrs to her Long Island Love.
At that point in our lives we knew that one day we would be parents, but were young, naïve, and focused on our wedding day. The stresses leading up to our magical day all melted away on that beautiful Sunday morning. Before we knew it, our ketubah was signed and we were standing under the chuppah in front of all of our family and friends.
Most of the actual wedding day events are a blur to me. I hardly recall eating, drinking, or much. Thank goodness we have photos. Here is a rare moment when we sat down at our wedding table. Note that even Mickey and Minnie were invited to celebrate before we went to visit them on our honeymoon.
The next morning we left early for our long awaited Disney World honeymoon. This was JL’s first time there and I was determined to make him as crazy about Disney. I do believe it worked.
We had a magical ten days at Disney dining, exploring, relaxing, and romancing. I think JL saw that Disney World is not just for kids. We went to see Cirque du Soleil La Nouba, and did several behind the scene tours and were spoiled as newlyweds. Yes, we were Disneyfied!
Since we stayed at The Beach Club Resort, we walked from our resort into Epcot a lot to dine. We would enter the park via France in World Showcase. Almost ten years later, we stopped for a rare photo together while visiting France
My letter to TechyDad from last year still holds true. I am beyond lucky to have an amazing husband and best friend. It has been quite an adventure the last 10 years, and I look forward to many more magical moments together. I love you with all of my heart and look forward to the rest of our lives together.
So my question to everyone today:
Where did you go on your honeymoon and have you ever been back? If you are waiting for the honeymoon of your dreams, where would you like to go?

We went to Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure, and yes we’ve been back three times. Hubby loves it there. I can’t go on the rides anymore due to my back, but I love watching him ride & his face when he comes off. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY & Have a great weekend.

Awwwww…. Love the pics!
We didn’t have a big wedding. We actually got married while cross country skiing then spent a few nights at an Inn on the river. The fresh Salmon hash there was amazing! I would love to spend an anniversary in Hawaii.

We went to Bangkok, Thailand for our honeymoon with R’s best friends. Our wedding was in 2 parts and was held over 6 months as we had to throw wedding dinners in both Singapore and HongKong. I would like to fly off to Maldives or maybe even to Paris for a “real” honeymoon.

We are from and live in Hawaii, so of course our honeymoon was spent here in the islands. We did drive to Waikiki to a lovely hotel for our honeymoon. The honeymoon of my dreams would be to go on a cruise any where really.

Happy Anniversay!!! We went to the Poconos (30 years ago). We bought a house before we got married so funds were a bit tight. Though I remember I wished we could have gone to the Caribbean and we have been there several times since.

For our actual honeymoon we just took a quick overnight trip to Sea World. (We were broke LOL) However 10 years later we took a second honeymoon to the place I wanted to go on our original honeymoon – Disney World. We had a blast!

Awwww! Happy Anniversary! You guys are a cute couple!
We actually went to Punta Cana before we got married – we were going to get married while there for a combo wedding/honeymoon mode, but there was so much red tape involved getting married outside of the US, so we delayed that part of it.
We did go back 5 years later, and plan to go back after another 5 years has passed (which is coming up!)

We went to Disney World as well. We haven’t been back since but are planning a HUGE trip in 2013 with my mom, sister, brothers, aunts, uncles, cousins grandma and grandpa. A mini-family reunion/mom and aunts 50th birthday celebration!

We didn’t really have a honeymoon. We spent the night at a very nice downtown hotel but that was it. My husband was just finishing up his time in the fire academy and they had graduation ceremonies two days after our wedding. My dream honeymoon would be to go to Italy.

We never actually went on a honeymoon, but a few years later we had our dream vacation in Hawaii.
BTW…HAPPY 10TH ANNIVERSARY!!!

You beautiful people!
This is such a sweet story.
We didn’t really have a honeymoon. We drove around the US states. I think dh think me getting to be in the states because it was my first time in these states was supposed to be fun. It was interesting journey but not what we needed at that point in our lives.
I still wish I had a normal honeymoon. I would have loved to go to an island away for a week or so. Or just to Fla.

What a wonderful post!! You have a beautiful Synagogue as well. Congrats on your big 10! Time really does fly fast.
We were poor back then and I was in nursing school so we took our honeymoon 4 years later (Niagara Falls and New England) and I came home pregnant.
Enjoy your weekend!

Well, yes and no. We didn’t really “go” anywhere right after we got married, but our first trip together was so San Antonio, and we consider that our honeymoon…and yes, we have gone back. :-)
