2012 has been the best year for us so far as a couple. I have created this blog in order to help our friends and family keep up with our hectic and ever-changing lives! Where to begin??
Well, on the eleventh of this past May, we celebrated a whopping 6 years as a couple! That's quite an acheivement for most folks our age, and I must say, we are quite proud!
And.... the eleventh had another very special meaning this year. It is the day we finally said "I do."
Now, when I say finally, I feel like I had to wait an entire lifetime! I mean, when you meet your soulmate, all you want is to become theirs. Whole-heartedly, entirely theirs. And now, I am his and he is mine. And we couldn't be happier.
We had a small ceremony in Oakland Park, FL where we celebrated amongst our closest friends and family that live close by. The wedding was beautiful and I couldn't imagine standing next to anyone else.
Everyone knows that no Szabo event goes off without a hitch, and we had plenty of mishaps. A garter left at home, a
We ate, we drank, and we danced like the whitest people who ever lived.
And it was marvelous.
We also had a second reception in my lovely hometown of Buffalo, New York. Because we couldn't afford to invite everyone to the Florida wedding, we made a special trip up to share our joy with our loved ones.
Between playing bean bag in the plushest blades of grass, drinking Canadian beer, and visiting the old chicken coop turned into one of the coolest bars around, we had a blast. There is no greater joy than spending time with family, something many of us take for granted daily.
Luckily, we both have amazing bosses who not only allowed us to take time off for two weddings, but also for an outstanding honeymoon.
We were setting sail to Cozumel, Mexico... but not alone!! With suitcases packed and sunscreen on, there were some of our favorite people ready to board. My parents, Rob and Kathie, and brothers Ben and Mitch, who were all about to experience their first cruise. Alongside them were Steven's stepdad, Steve, his mother Alicia, and his sister (and my seester) Stephanie. And last but not least, two of our best friends, best man Eric and my bridesmaid Jen.
All eleven of us were thrilled to be done with the stress that the wedding brings along with it. With four days of nothing but sun, sand and ship ahead of us, we headed to the Lido Deck in search of some fun.. And we found it!!
Passengers of every shape, size, color, gender all together on the dancefloor doing The Wobble, The Dougie, and The Cha-Cha Slide. This sight was just screaming "let the vacation begin!"
And it did, and it went on and on and on. From winning at blackjack, to having multiple servings of chocolate lava cake, tequila tastings and more shenanigans I won't mention, it was a great trip.
For now, it's back to reality and living life like the "normies" where vacation happens only once a year. I'll continue to post about our latest thrills, joys, troubles and life changes as they happen.
We love you all.
