We gave our parents a phone number of someone who'd know how to get ahold of a Costa Rican neighbor in case of emergency, but that was it. It was soooooo nice.<BR/><BR/>But of course the moment we arrived in the States again, we turned on our phones so that we could read what you and Daltongirl blogged about our wedding.Cicadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14992280321382438701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13684790.post-68599740629025040932008-08-28T14:36:00.000-06:002008-08-28T14:36:00.000-06:00My roommate (before we lived together) had some fr...My roommate (before we lived together) had some friends show up at her house about two days after their wedding.

I've enjoyed reading when I need a few chuckles.<BR/><BR/>We had the same thing happen to us. My mother called from the airport (at 7am) the day after the wedding to see if we were going to meet them before leaving. Uh, right. And then my husband's siblings sent us texts that evening to let us know they were all at Sizzler wondering what we were up to. I should make sure to text them when they get married. And to top it off, my new husband's work called to see if he could cover a shift on Monday morning. I don't think people will ever learn. Or maybe it's because it happened to them and they want others to feel of the ackwardness?Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13474884008054992053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13684790.post-3742597293414953742008-08-28T03:17:00.000-06:002008-08-28T03:17:00.000-06:00I also saw Nem on google chat a lot but refrained ...I also saw Nem on google chat a lot but refrained from initiating any chats out of a respect for honeymoon etiquette.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13684790.post-33594651319072102412008-08-27T23:02:00.000-06:002008-08-27T23:02:00.000-06:00I've been a reader for a while and thought it was ...I've been a reader for a while and thought it was time to pipe up and congratulate you on your lovely wedding!

So the next day they showed up to the ward she had grown up in. She told me that everyone kind of ignored them and she was kind of put off by that.

So Jolene called the pastor to apologize and find out the damage. The pastor, confused about why the bride was calling morning after her wedding, said that someone had just nudged the bumper of her car and there wasn't any damage at all.<BR/><BR/>So, to sum up, people are idiots.

Coolmom was calling because Nem had mentioned previously that she wanted us to meet with her and the new hubby that afternoon to watch them open wedding gifts before they left for the honeymoon. Coolmom was attempting to see if, when, and where this was to happen. Nem called back later that afternoon to say that she and hubby had decided to go ahead with the opening of the presents without coolmom and cooldad. We forgave her the error of not letting us know sooner and then dissing us completetly since it was her wedding and all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13684790.post-33790395907605840842008-08-27T11:40:00.000-06:002008-08-27T11:40:00.000-06:00I remember this one couple who showed up all brigh...I remember this one couple who showed up all bright and shiny for church on Sunday the day after their wedding and I just thought, "Really...?"
