We’re currently at JFK airport right now waiting out a long delay for our next flight to Greece. The volcanic ash is the default excuse, but it’s really due to a delayed incoming international flight. No worries though, this gives us more time to enjoy each other’s company and post to the wedding blog.
We wanted to take a quick moment to thank everyone SO much for making the trip out to New Orleans for the weekend. Christina and I had an amazing time with all of you, and we already miss our family and friends very much. You all really made the wedding for us.
As we talk to people, we’ve been learning events of the wedding that we weren’t even aware of. Funny that as the bride and groom, you’re actually not part of any of the action as you’re so focused on actually getting married.
We’ve created a few photo albums to share your weekend pictures (multiple albums in case we exceed the 500 max pictures in a single album). Start with Album 1, and just click Upload. If you’re not comfortable posting them here, feel free to email us directly.
Again, we are forever grateful of your love and support. Talk to you when we get back!

We are so excited for the big day!!! Can’t believe it’s finally here. We’re having a great time in New Orleans with all of our wonderful and loving family and friends.
Thank you all for your excitement and support to help us get here.
Next time we’ll see you, we’ll be Mr. and Mrs. White!
In between all of the wedding planning, we have somehow managed to remember our honeymoon. I’ve had the awesome task of planning the trip (as opposed to picking the flowers or bridesmaid dresses). Our goals were to aim for pure relaxation on beautiful beaches during the first half and fulfill our itch for adventure and culture during the second half. And of course, delicious, unique food and drink. After much research and deliberation, we finally decided on Crete, Greece and Turkey.
On Monday after the wedding weekend, we’ll be on our way from Atlanta to Crete. Our basic itinerary is:
 |
Elounda, Crete Greece
6 days
Located in on the northeast shore of Crete. We’ll tour the town/island, scuba diving, and of course, rest and relaxation. Through all of our business travel over the years, we are using hotel points and got upgraded to a suite with a private infinity pool overlooking the Mediterranean Sea! Pure bliss. |
 |
Istanbul, Turkey
3 Days
A rare opportunity to visit the only city that spans two continents, Europe and Asia. A city with almost 3000 years of history: Istanbul (Turkish/Ottoman) was Constantinople (Byzantine) which was Augusta Antonina (Roman) and before that Byzantium (Greek). We’ll tour the hub of the most intriguing Muslim country, enjoy the beautiful mosques, scenery, and culture in an urban setting. |
 |
Kas, Turkey
3 Days
After flying to the southeastern coast of Turkey, we’ll drive along the beautiful coast to Kas, Turkey – a gorgeous, small beach town. We’ll kayak over a sunken city, tour local ruins, maybe squeeze in another dive, and enjoy our last few days of relaxation.
Then we spend a long day traveling home to reality. |
