So I'm hitched! To the tune of the Jurassic Park theme song (covered by the Piano Guys), my Mum walked me down the isle on the 110ft yacht anchored in the Hudson River. We said our vows about me not being allowed to open cardboard boxed unsupervised and him to keep the air conditioner in the house and car no lower than 73 degrees. There were also things about loving each other and being robots when our bodies give out in the future... our vows were awesome. To us. 

Then the yacht sailed around Manhattan for hours and hours, we had a beautiful sit down lunch made by the lovely on-board chef who's name I don't know, but I'd like to think it was Philipe. Our cake was a simple design. No frills, just delicious. Carrot cake. Seriously, it's so good. I have the top tier in my freezer and all I want to do is eat it. 

And yes, the cake topper is a custom made USA and AUS with love hearts in our respective cities. 

We visited the Statue of Liberty on the way back to dry land as a representation of me immigrating to the United States. It's relevant. 

We had our first dance to "A Thousand Years" as that was the first song we ever danced to. 

And after we wobbly-walked off the yacht, the party headed to a bar and then Pier 13 in Hoboken... our old stomping ground. We drank and chilled and enjoyed the sunset. 

And at the end of the day, we retreated to our executive suite overlooking New York City. We took an Uber. They didn't kill us. Suck it, Taxi Cabs.

Oh but the story doesn't end there. No no no. The next day, we had Sushi and went mini-golfing! And then I chopped off all my hair and donated it to Locks of Love. Over 10 inches of it!! I wash my hair now and I no longer get arm pain from doing so. 

We're thinking about getting a puppy soon. We're going to call him Sidetrack. 

And in 2 days, we're hosting a movie night for THE ROOM where we'll play a drinking game and it's going to both suck super hard and be amazing at the same time. YOU'RE TEARING ME APART, LISA! 

This journey continues. I can honestly say that my wedding day with Patrick was the happiest day of my life up until that point. But every day after has been an extention of it and I feel so incredibly blessed to be here. 

I'd lie if I said Patrick hasn't sung this while playing guitar for me lately... 

Mawage.
