I feel like this guy is what I’ve become over the past few years. It’s a pretty hilarious video. I could definitely be friends with someone like this.

Photos of Honeymoon in Italy
Now that a month has past and I’m finally settled into married life, I thought now would be a good time to share some photos. Everything was perfect! The wedding was the most amazing day of my life and it was followed by the most amazing trip of my life. I will post the wedding photos when the professional shots are ready. In the mean time, enjoy my photos of Italy on Flickr.
