<br />
I am posting my albums from our amazing Hawaii trip and wedding. It was really a spectacular place and probably the best family vacation ever. The ceremony was lovely, although we ended up having it on another beach than we planned. Here are my four albums I made from everyones photos - we don't have the professional wedding photos yet, but we had enough great candid photos (thanks everyone!) that I almost feel like we don't need them. Also, a note - I used Smug Mug for the first time to do these albums - I just wanted to try them out - please disregard the "Buy" links - I tried to delete it but couldn't figure out how to do it. Otherwise, enjoy!<br />

<br />
Chris and I are leaving for Hawaii in a few days for our eloping/destination wedding and I wanted to share a few details with the family. We didn't get a chance to tell everyone about our plans when we were in Minnesota so I thought I could use the Anderblog as a venue. So here goes!<br />
<br />
Chris's Mom was able to use two timeshare credits for two 2-bedroom units in Kauai for our week in Hawaii, which is how we chose our destination and saved us a lot of money. All of our parents and both of our sisters are joining us in Kauai. We are getting married on December 8, 2011 on Anini Beach.<br />

I found my dress at a boutique a block away from my house - I found a sample dress on sale for the same price as an off the rack dress. My engagement ring is a small vintage diamond and gold ring that Chris and I found together, and I'm probably going to use it as my wedding ring until I can find another one. It is navette-shaped which I'm told is like the hull of a boat. It turned out that my dress was in a movie so I can show you what it looks like!<br />

Chris and I will be back to Minnesota soon! Our next step will be buying a house in the next year or two so I hope you all will be able to visit Nashville!
