The Westbrooks!

We've had a chance to tell most of our family and a few friends, but why not broadcast it over our blog?! We got married!!

So we had always planned on the big family wedding (perhaps in Hawaii) in our little minds. But then we were thinking seriously about moving to Sweden, so we scaled it back to a tiny get together at some Texas courthouse. Then, Eddy remembered we had plans to travel to Toronto this June and asked if I would rather get married at Niagara Falls. Um... Yes!!

We were SOOOOO lucky to be able to coerce Emily Dewan--wedding photographer extraordinaire-- and Neal Groothuis--recently ordained minister in the fakey Universal Life Church--to fly out and meet us.

We enjoyed an Indian Mega Buffet.

We had an impromptu wedding shoot in a parking garage.

Then we boarded the Maiden of the Mist where we took our vows!

Afterward, we had just enough time to hit up the Hard Rock Cafe where Neal treated us to a vodka shot before we sprinted to the airport to (BARELY) put Emily and Neal on the last flight back to NYC. Later that weekend, Eddy and I convened over a bottle of champagne to record our favorite memories from the day so that we could share them with everyone we love.

Now we are working with our families to plan a ring exchange ceremony and reception in St. Louis, Missouri this fall. Check out our new website to get the latest information.
