I got married on March 21st. I didn’t realize how long it takes to get photos back from the photographer. They finally came last week.

Our parents threw us a fancy engagement party last month. We told them that we were planning on getting married in Vegas later this year. Little did they know we had been planning a surprise wedding all along! We wanted to be surrounded by family and friends, but without the stress of a big wedding.

We quietly found a JP (justice of the peace). I made sure the restaurant where we were having our party was able to set chairs up outside, so that we could get married at sunset. I also spoke to the photographer so she would be able to catch the expressions on our parent’s faces when they found out they were at our wedding.

As soon as everyone arrived, Mike and I stood up and announced the surprise. Everyone was thrilled! Here’s a few of my favorite photos from the night…

My mom was thrilled when Mike and I announced the surprise!

My dad walked me down the aisle.

Sunset vows

First dance

The Sandia Mountains (in Albuquerque, New Mexico) made a great backdrop.

We made all the centerpieces that day.

Have you heard the latest young Hollywood scandal? Miley Cyrus, the 15-year-old pop star, will appear in the new issue of Vanity Fair. Some of the shots show Cyrus wrapped in what appears to be a satin sheet.

In a statement released through her publicist Cyrus said, “I took part in a photo shoot that was supposed to be ‘artistic’ and now, seeing the photographs and reading the story, I feel so embarrassed, I never intended for any of this to happen and I apologize to my fans who I care so deeply about.” The photo was taken by Annie Lebovitz.
