So we got married! Woo! After months of planning and anticipation, the big day finally arrived. After all the work everything turned out perfectly, from the rehearsal dinner to the ceremony and the reception. We danced down the aisle to Stevie Wonder, we danced some more at the reception, we reveled in the wonderful food and drinks, and most importantly laughed loved and cherished every minute of this most beautiful day.
After a couple days of changing gears we set off for our honeymoon in Iceland! Iceland is the most beautiful place we've ever seen and the trip was the greatest trip we've ever been on. We stayed at a great hotel in downtown Reykjavik, the Hotel Fron. It was located in the heart of Reykjavik an easy walk to just about everything and anything you would possibly need. We explored all the great sights and sounds of Reykjavik and ventured out into the countryside eager for more Icelandic adventures. We smeared white silica mud all over ourselves in the Blue Lagoon, we watched geysers erupt in Þingvellir National Park. We walked through some of Iceland's history, exploring the canyon that housed their first parliament around 1000 a.d. They got it right the first time their parliament is the oldest continuously functioning parliament in the land. We strolled through all the museums we could find, we checked out the local flea market and perused the local fish market wide eyed and slack jawed at the specimens for sale: rotten shark meat, all kinds of fish, minke whale, lamb and horse meat. We ate at the most popular restaurant in the country, a hot dog stand. We crammed as much as we could into the 8 days we were in country. We left Keflavik Airport with a yearning for more of Iceland, wanting to keep experiencing it, wanting to bring it home and continue the experience. Everyone seriously needs to visit Iceland. Go! Right now! Seriously stop reading this and go book your tickets.
