Mr. & Mrs. Moran!

Well, we finally did it! We are officially 'Mr. and Mrs. Corey Moran'! As we begin our life as a married couple, we thought it would only be appropriate to start a blog to keep y'all updated with our activities and for our first post, it seemed fitting that we fill you in on our recent wedding.

Corey and I were married on July 26th at the
Seawatch Restaurant in Wailea, Maui (in Hawaii, for those of you who don't like to leave the mainland). It was the most beautiful, fun and memorable wedding we've ever been to, though you may say that we're a bit partial since it was our own wedding after all. ;)

We were so fortunate to have 30 of our closest friends and family members join us to celebrate our marriage. The festivities began on Friday night with a 'Greet & Eat', which Corey's parents hosted for all of our guests. This took place at the
Rusty Harpoon in Whalers Village in Ka'anapali. This was a great way for everyone to finally meet one another - many of our guests had met some of the other guests, but very few had met everyone that attended our wedding.

Here are a few photos from this event and you can review the rest
here.

The following day, Saturday, July 26th, was our wedding day. I was so lucky to spend the day with my three fabulous bridesmaids - Kelsey, Gina and Sara. Kels did my hair and made my gorgeous jewelry (it's out there now, Kels, so get ready for the calls to start pouring in!).


My mom joined us in the afternoon to get ready and then my dad joined us to take some photos with us before meeting up with the rest of my family to head to the Seawatch together.

The wedding was perfect and went more smoothly than I could have ever imagined, especially considering that we hadn't even met our officiant, DJ, photographer, videographer or ceremony coordinator. We can't wait to see the photos, which come in 8-10 weeks, or the DVD, which should arrive in 6-8 weeks. We'll be sure to post these here so check back soon!

In the meantime, here are a few of my favorite photos so far, but feel free to check out my new
Flickr site to see the photos that friends and family have sent me in the past few days (set aside a large block of time when you're ready to review 'em - there are a ton of photos!).

Introducing Mr. and Mrs. Corey Moran!

Following our wedding, Corey and I stayed at the Fairmont Kea Lani in Wailea before heading off to Kauai for our sunny, week-long honeymoon.

We're still working to get our honeymoon pictures fully uploaded but as soon as they are, we'll be sure to post a blog entry with details and photos from our honeymoon.
