Wedding fun & Missing our first flight

These last two weeks have been crazy! We transitioned from our normal day lives of working, wedding planning, and travel preparations to final touches on the wedding, the wedding day, and full time traveling. We had such a wonderful time with our family and friends as they visited from the States to help out with wedding craziness. We are thankful we could spend time together before our traveling started. 

On Tuesday night, my parents dropped us off at the San Pedro Sula airport in Honduras. We left at 1:45 am and arrived in Fort Lauderdale at 5:15 am. We stayed in Fort Lauderdale for about 14 hours. When we went to check in for our 9:35 pm flight, we found out we had missed our flight. There was a schedule change that we weren't informed about. After three hours of talking on the phone trying to figure out why we weren't informed and how we were going to get to Greece, we were given a new flight and a place to stay. We knew there would be challenges, but we never expected our first two days of traveling to be completely changed. 

Proverbs 3:5-6Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

Our wedding was one of the most special days of our lives. I (Ally) never knew how hard it was to plan for a wedding. Planning a wedding for 200+ people out of the country was the most challenging thing. We had a lot of help from family and friends. It was such a spectacular wedding and was one of the best days of our lives! Thank you for all of the sweet messages, comments, and love! Wedding pictures should be here in two weeks. But for now, here are some phone pictures! Enjoy!

After 3 flights (15 hours total), 4 days, 1/3 of our liquids being taken away, a loss of a water bottle and pillow, and extra baggage costs, we are safely in Athens! We plan on heading to Santorini tomorrow morning. 

Much love,
Mario & Ally
