I know. I know. Two posts in one day. This is unreal. LOL. But I can't tell you about the wedding without giving a peak at the minimoon. It just wouldn't seem fair.

Inspired by Jim & Pam's wedding on the Office, Joe & I decided we needed to make our Sunday/Monday after the wedding something memorable and different. Seeing as our creativity was lacking, we stole Niagara Falls from Jim & Pam. We were so enticed by the prospect of staying in a different country (the Canadian side of the falls) that we forgot entirely about some of the details. Like currency exchange, the fact that my GPS doesn't have maps for Canada, that the falls might soak all our clothing, and that we might need more than $80 in cash.

Despite all of our rookie mistakes, our road trip was a blast. We got lost in Pennsylvania, but as a result, we drove through a gorgeous state park. If I had a digital SLR in my possession, I would have been in my glory! We saw a different country. We had the most gorgeous view of the falls. We dined in an authentic Brazilian restaurant, Braza (<3) and drank a bottle of nice Canadian wine. We journeyed behind the falls and got soaked, went through a tourist trap movie (how could a "Niagara's fury experience" go wrong? lol!)and got soaked, took the Maid of the Mist underneath the falls and got soaked, and gave ourselves a cold. It was wonderful.

I've never felt so in love. so at peace. and so happy. I think couples need multiple honeymoons. At least once a year! Here are some of the pics from our amazing road trip!

My attempt at a panaramic of the falls. I think it looks pretty cool!
Us on Maid of the Mist. The ponchos were not enough to keep us dry! lol.


We're married now, so I figured I could post kissy picks and not be embarrassed. Apparently I haven't changed that much. I'm still blushing, but it's cute, and it makes me smile.

Sorry I've been MIA for the past couple weeks. I've had a good reason. I GOT MARRIED! (WOOT!) On the rainiest day in October, I became Mrs. Malanowski (which is not any easier to write from the former Miss Drapalski!) Even the pouring rain couldn't damper our spirits. This ephemeral event, felt so much shorter. The day flew by. I was so happy I felt like I was I felt like I was walking on clouds all day. ::sigh:: I'm married. I'M MARRIED. I'm married to the love of my life. my best friend. the supplier of all my smiles. Joe.

Enjoy the pics. I can't wait to see what the photographer got. Poor thing had to battle the wind, rain, and our crazyness!

Just married (litteraly!)
This is me and my daddy. I love him so much!

My best friend (and maid of honor) and I at the reception! I love her so much!

Our first dance together. I'm so happy that I didn't trip or make a big fool of myself since I am a terrible dancer. I think I have two left feet.
