Congats and welcome back! Looks like you had a great f'ing time. Just remember one thing, happy wife happy life!

Thanks for the well wishes guys. The wife and I talked a lot about the wedding in the days leading up to it, and the days right after. The one thing we kept coming back to was the sense of gratitude. We are so blessed and so lucky to have such a wonderful family and such great friends. You go through life on a daily basis and complain about little shit like traffic, annoying co-workers, not getting that raise, etc etc. But it's always good to take a deep breath and reflect on what you have. Big picture, we are soooo grateful for the life we have and the people in it. It was a wonderful wedding, and a great opportunity for some perspective on life as well.

congrats,best wishes and god bless you and your wife.

Thanks my friend. Don't worry, one of these days Hess will come to her senses and then you'll be the one starting a thread like this.

Congratulations man. One tip of advice from someone who has a similar relationship situation as you...try really hard to relive the honeymoon every year. It might not ever be the same, but it's worth it to try.

Really good advice. It may be easier to do than I would have thought too- at least for our one year anniversary. We held the rehearsal dinner (90+ attendees) and the reception at the Hyatt Regency in Sarasota, Fl, plus nearly all of our guests stayed there. Then for the honeymoon we stayed at the Hyatt Resort & Casino in Aruba (SICK spot, so luxurious). Grateful for all the business, Hyatt has already offered me two free nights in Aruba next year for our one year anniversary. I'm almost definitely going to take them up on the offer.

I was showing my wife your pics tonight and already she was asking where that was and how much she wants to go, haha. It sounds super cheesy, but almost every year we find some random campy-ass spot and renew our vows super wasted and with people we met that night as witnesses. Glad you guys had an awesome time man.

Haha that's great shit. We've definitely talked about making renewing our vows an annual tradition. I think it's a great way to always keep fresh in your mind exactly what a marriage is all about. Obviously I'm a rookie, but that's my opinion anyway.

Maybe several cocktails and a little vow renewal on a beach in Aruba will take place next June for us. BTW, if your wife really liked the pics, I can certainly send you plenty more (then again, if you don't want to spring for the trip, I'll keep my mouth shut

). Aruba is kick ass though. I know Schneed agrees.
