Well... All wedding festivities + honeymoon...

Alright... no need to say it.. I'm absolutely horrible at keeping our blog up... After a long time of anticipation, I can finally say that I am Donna Knight!!! It really makes me feel awesome to say that.. I truly love my new family!!! Below are pictures from the pedicure party prior to the rehearsal, the rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, and the wedding (Thanks Jamie for the pics of the wedding)! Hope you enjoy!!! I know Jerry and I had a blast!

Thanks to everyone who helped us have the most wonderful wedding week!!! We also wanted to say thanks to all our siblings that traveled to be with us on our special day! You don't know how much it meant to us for all you guys to be here!!!

This is the funniest picture EVER.. Many of you may not know how excited my sis, Amanda was about the chocolate fountain at the rehearsal dinner, but if you look closely you will see her sticking her finger in Jerry's plate of chocolate - we had already ate the fruit, but she just wanted the chocolate... I love her, and miss her so much!!!

My brother-in-law Tim, my older sister Kristy, my Pappaw Loos, and me

Amanda, my sister... I think she found a new best friend. What a little cutie Derek was at the rehearsal.


After the rehearsal dinner... My cousin Ashley, Sis Amanda, and my MOH Mindy decorating flip flops for the reception and watching "What Happens In Vegas". It was a lot of fun!

Short arrangement on the tables.. I loved these. (Thank you Lori)

Tall arrangements..

Flowers behind our cake...

Our Candy Buffet. I loved it, but there is soooo much candy left.

Dad and me walking down the aisle... So excited to meet my groom at the end of it...

Me, my husband, and my brother in law, Tim. He gave the most awesome speech at the wedding... I teared up more during that than I did saying vows. (Thank you for such sweet words, Tim)

Me and my awesome sister in law Jamie

Jerry and I just got back from our awesome honeymoon in Jamaica! We got off to a rocky start with the room, but everything was absolutely awesome! We ate, hung out on the beach, ate, showered, napped, ate and slept, and watched a lot of CNN about Michael Jackson, Steve McNair, and the idiot serial killer that was in South Carolina (mostly MJ tho). It was so relaxing and fun!!! We had a massage out on the beach followed by a bottle of champagne. We went on a sunset cruise to Rick's cafe so we could jump off the cliff, but I chickened out - the water was really rough that day, and I kept picturing my body slamming into the side of the cliff on the swim from the boat to Rick's. Because I chickened out, we stayed on the boat, and if any of you know Jerry very well, you know that he gets sea sick - and the boat was seriously rocking!!! Well, he puked all over that freakin' boat!!! I was helpful in getting him water, but when we got back we BOTH laughed about it... Everyone there was so nice about it... I think it was because there were two other people on the boat that started puking before Jerry. The sunset that night was beautiful and we ended up having a really nice dinner that night... Anyway, we had so much fun... Here are some pics below...

Our first day on the beaches of Negril.. (Above and below)

Paul, our chef at Kimonos... The "Jamaicanese" restaurant on the resort. He sang to us all night.


I loved the flip flop flower

Glass bottom boat ride... not the one Jerry puked on...

First night at the Sundowner restaurant... The best one on the resort.

Jerry and the Jamaican Smile... or as he called them Savannah smile or the Jamaican Kiss...


Jamaican smiles are AWESOME!!!!!!!!


On the right is a normal sized moth... to the left is a mutant moth from Jamaica - it was out on our porch... We didn't sit outside that night.


Crab under a chair... it kept going in and out of that little hole! It was only the second crab I saw the whole trip - the other was on our wall.


Beginning of Fourth of July festivities... A marching band walking down the beach


Sunset Photo on the beach... NO, that is not a fake background. It really was that beautiful!
