Cassie & John : Reception Part 1
Soon enough, Castaway Cay day was here! I’d been wanting to visit Castaway Cay since I was a kid and the Disney Channel did a special on it.
I’m convinced Disney threw in some pixie dust to make that water as pretty as possible!
We got up so early to take pictures around the island before the other guests got off the boat. I know these guys were exhausted, but I loved feeling like the only ones on the island. :)
Favorite!
After their little “just married” session, Nathan and I biked around the island. Both my dad and brother are pilots, so I loved all the little aviation touches. Even the bathrooms were themed with airplane doors on the walls and vintage Piper Cub signs. :)
Hello, gorgeous!
I’m not gonna lie… The crab races got a little intense!
Hello!
So, as we were about to get back on the Disney Wonder, we ran into Cassie, who was signing up to go parasailing. Now here’s the thing- I’m sort of a quirky person. I have a lot of fears that most people don’t think twice about. My biggest fear? Killer whales, closely followed by pretty much every other creature that lives underwater. So, I tried to play it cool when Cassie asked if we wanted to join them, casually explaining how I was planning to go take a nap or something, but my inner dialogue going something like “OH PLEASE MOTHER OF GOD DO NOT MAKE ME DO IT I DON’T WANNA I DON’T WANNA!!!!” Lucky for me, there was only one spot left, to which I totally and completely selflessly suggested Nate go instead of me. ;) I love that Nate went, though, because seriously- Aren’t these the cutest honeymoon photos ever? :)
Then it was Nate’s turn to go up with Melissa, one of John’s sisters. :)
So, long story short, after a day of biking around the island with no water, Nate and I both made ourselves sick! My story was much less embarrassing than poor Nate’s, but I love him too much to publicly post what happened on the blog. I will say it’s a good one though, so make sure you ask us about it in person. ;)

BWAAAAAAAAAHahahahahahahahaaaa! That is classic!
Bahahahahhaha! :)
Amazingly fantastic!! The pictures of Cassie and John with no one around are beautiful. I loved all the Castaway Cay pictures, you make me want to take a cruise.
As always I love the self portraits. Jensey I am like you, petrified of all things underwater, no way I would have gone. Nate seems like such a good sport and the parasailing photos were awesome.
I am so sorry you both got sick, I hope it didn’t ruin the rest of the trip.
We were so lucky that it only effected us that night- We woke up completely fine the next morning! You should do the cruise if you ever get a chance- You’d love it! :)
I love the parasailing foot picture!
Me tooooo! :)
Jensey if I remember correctly it was that you had a fear of heights…. you never said anything about killer whales!! …giggle :o). You are super lucky because the girls who went after Melissa and Nate saw a shark as they got dipped!!
As far as Nate – it would have never happened if he hadn’t been working so hard to get such amazing photos of us. I am sorry you weren’t feeling well! I still feel really bad about it.
I LOVE the blog. You are so awesome!!! I can’t wait to see what happens next!
Yeah… SO glad I didn’t have to go!! And no need to feel bad about Nate getting sick- You were my hero to hang around while he was, uh… “Busy” on the boat. ;)
I’m just speechless. I’m a hopeless Disney addict, and I found you guys through weddinggawker.com. I know I’ll never have a Disney wedding, but your pictures are incredible — especially this set, considering we got back from the same cruise in May.
You’re amazing, keep it up!
