Wedding Week: Day 1

We made it to the island! YAY!!! Brandon and I are SO EXCITED to share this awesome time with our family.

Here is a picture of us Pre-Cayman. We stopped over to Panera the night before leaving...and Brandon and I decided to sport our Cayman Wedding shirts! We started the party 1 day early!

We had to wake up at 3am this morning to get to the airport for a 5:50am flight. We were all running on low sleep...but high excitement!

For my family back home, this video will look quite familiar. Because the island is so small, the airplane is pretty low by the time you spot land.


We arrived around noon, went through customs/immigration, and got the rental van. In fact, I'm the brand new holder of a Cayman license! Woo hoo!!! We'll see how it goes...considering the drivers side is on the right side of the car, the people drive on the left, and it's a stick shift! I don't anticipate having to drive until Monday when we welcome Brandon's family at the airport...but it will be quite the drive trying to get there!

Once we got unpacked, we headed straight for the beach. And I thought the pedicure was relaxing.....look at this.


Brandon and I spent about 2 hours relaxing in the pool and ocean today. And everyone kept asking me, "Are you the bride and groom getting married this week?" Word travels fast on such a small island!

The sunset was mediocre tonight due to some low-lying clouds...but, hey, any sunset on the beach is better than sunset back home! Some of the "regulars" here said they spotted the green flash a few days ago - so we'll be anxious to watch for that this coming week!


Tonight we ate spaghetti (my favorite) at the condo. We were all so worn out by the end of the day, we just wanted to relax tonight!

We really miss all of the family that isn't here right now, but know that all of you are here in spirit!!! We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of Brandon's family - and really look forward to the rest of the week!
