The Morning After

The morning after the wedding, we both we're feeling awesome besides the slight hangovers, the adrenaline rush of the wedding still pumping through our veins. We met family at a local breakfast spot, stopped by John's hotel to trade stories, and checked-out of our hotel, and into a time-share resort.

Our vehicle was packed with suitcases, boxes, presents, clothes, wedding crafts, cases of wine, our top layer of wedding cake, and various other goodies that needed to be sorted. I had anxiety about tackling all of it, but tried to push it to the back of my memory and just soak in every little new-married-moment. It does feel different after you are married. Maybe it's just me, but Mr. B just looked all sparkly and new. Maybe I was all sparkly and new. There was definitely something.

When we couldn't check-in at the resort right away, we swung by In-N-Out burger. I'm an East Coast girl and had never had the pleasure before. I was told it was a must. So with our burgers in tow, we looked for a grassy spot to sit down around the area.

When we got out of the car, Mr. B rifled through the back and came out with this:


An awesome picnic basket set with our new initial hand-painted on it!

Fun treats!

My *husband* set it all up...

...but we still ate the In-N-Out...

...and of course drank the wine. =)

We still didn't know who it was from until we opened the card. I was so happy to see Bridesmaid Lisa's handwriting! That clever woman!

Mr. B fielded "day after" phone calls...

...while I attended to Baby Barrettes. Seriously, how cute is he?

It was so peaceful to lay there and just look up at the leaves and enjoy a moment after the insanity of the weekend.

I was happy, tired, thankful, and married.

Laying down felt so good =)

With our batteries refreshed, we headed back to The Meritage and indulged in opening our gifts, sleeping without alarm clocks, spa treatments, and a romantic dinner for 2. It was the perfect Day After.

How did you and your spouse unwind the Day After?
