Mike and Kisti's Wedding / Honeymoon

Just wanted to write a quick blog and post a few pictures from my wedding a month ago. Things have been really busy since we were married. Consequently I apologize in advance for the large number of pictures as I decided to do one big post.

The wedding went as planned; the only hitch was a two hour flight delay in Hartford. Although our trip down was especially stressful for Kisti as she had not met any of my family. I did my best to reassure her that my family would love her. I don’t think I was very convincing. Unfortunately she met all six of my siblings, their spouses (minus Layna, and her two kids, Emmy, and Logan), their kids, and my parents at the same time. At least I was able to meet her family gradually. I knew she would like my brothers as all of us have a similar sense of humor. Kisti later expressed this to me. She also liked my sisters and had previously spoken with each of them about their pregnancies. It was so much fun to be together with all of my family, they truly are the best! Thanks for coming; it meant so much to me to have all of you there!

The day of our wedding, Kisti looked amazing! I must explain that it seemed like she was a rock star in that she traveled with an entourage. One of her aunts did her hair, a cousin did her makeup, another aunt handled the flowers and her mom took care of the dress. As you can see from the pictures, it was well worth it!
I told Kisti a joke

The best siblings.....EVER! Thanks for coming

I also wanted to post a few pictures from our honeymoon. Kisti’s parents hooked us up with a week at their time share in Cancun. Cancun has such beautiful beaches and warm weather; in fact I am still peeling from the sunburn I received. Of course Kisti still has a nice tan. We spent most of our time on the beach, at the pool, or at one of the four restaurants in the resort. We did manage to visit the Telum ruins and do a bit of snorkeling.

More ruins, they were really cool, great location by the beach. I see why the indigenous people built a city there.


This was for our Honeymoon dinner, Kisti looked amazing! We had a private five course candelit dinner by the pool.

Look at that game face. Too bad she still lost:)
