As most of you know Dennis and I are already "legally" married last July. We went down to Seoul, visited some offices, signed some papers, and that was it. No ceremony. No I dos. Just a marriage certificate that we had to get translated from Hangul to English. So to really not be "living in sin" anymore we needed be married in the Catholic Church. Since I arrived in Korea, Dennis and I had been meeting with the priest to go through our marriage prep course (pre-cana) over the past 7 months in order to get married. On February 18th, Dennis and I took our vows before the eyes of God and our friends in a ceremony at the small chapel on base. It was a full Catholic mass that ended with a sword ceremony done by some of the men of Dennis' squadron. The sword ceremony is something special because it signifies the beginning of our life in the Air Force together. While walking through the swords at the end there is a little tap on the brides butt from one of the swordsman saying "Welcome to the Air Force". We want to thank everyone who was involved and came to our ceremony and reception. It meant the world to us to have you all there.

After the ceremony we had a VERY classy reception in the Pond (the air force bar on base) with Popeyes, Korean beer called Cass, and cake for everyone to enjoy. We also had some drinking games like beer pong and corn hole. Like I told you before, Classy!! Overall, a great celebration and we can't wait to go through it all again with our family and close friends in Maui!
On another exciting note....Dennis and I are only in Korea for about another week!! We will soon be back stateside for a while and can't wait to see everyone back home! Next up is NOLA for our wedding reception with Dennis' family and friends!
