The Hotel:
The Room
Snowball Fight!!

Matt: We decided on going skiing for our honeymoon. I know it sounds crazy, especially as most people want to relax after their wedding but to be honest me and Laurie are only young and very active people. I love extreme sports and Laurie loves skiing so it was a natural choice. Also as models we have travelled to lots of beautiful beach locations and fancied something different!

The ski lodge we choose was a 5 star hotel with all the mod cons...we even managed to get the honeymoon suite even though there were 2 other couples on honeymoon! The room was very spacious and we even had our own jacuzzi!

The last day we didn't want to bother skiing or snowboarding so we just went for a walk and ended up having a snowball fight....I have to say Laurie looks petite and helpless, but its all an act!!

Life After Marriage

How has married life been so far?
Laurie: Married life has been great! Although we have only been married for 3 weeks, but its made the bond between us stronger!

Matt: Yeh and now Laurie has to iron my shirts!! Its in the rules! :D

Laurie: You had better be joking Matt!

What are your future plans?
Laurie: Babies!

Matt: What sleepeless nights and dirty nappies? No way, not for another 5 years at least!

Laurie: Hehe obviously I am joking, I do want kids and I know Matt does too but we both want to concentrate on our careers. Matt is starting a new job as a graphic designer and I need to make some decisions as to what I want to do. I will continue to model but I feel like I need something more.

Matt: Also we need to work on our new house. Its erm, needing ALOT of TLC. But so far life is good!

Laurie: Oh and Harley and Ric are dating!! Maybe another wedding soon?!

looks like I spoke too soon and jinxed it... my graphics card has been acting up lately and making the monitor look all wonky. I will not be able to finish until tomorrow night at the earliest. I know this may be impossible because of the time limit and if that's the case I guess I have to drop out.


fallfromgrace, I love the location, looks like fun!

Default Freelancer, Round 4
For our honeymoon, we visited the Aberash Resort, in Tanzania on the shores of Lake Tanganyika. The only way to reach it is by boat.



Here's our room! We didn't spend too much time here... but it was time well spent.



While exploring some ruins a few miles away from the resort, we found that we were not alone. There's a chance that this won't end well, but what can we say - we're mischievous kids at heart. Besides, it's nothing we haven't done before!





How has married life been so far?
Colleen: It really isn't much different from how our relationship has been for the last ten years, except we bought a new house. We work together, and even before we were a couple, we spent almost all of our free time with each other. We knew all about each others' quirks, from Alistair's obsessive need to organize his socks by color to my obsessive need to alphabetize everything, from the books on the shelf to the spices in the cupboard. The only thing that has really changed is that every day we are reminded of why we fell in love in the first place, when we fall asleep in each others' arms and wake up to find it wasn't a dream.

What are your future plans?
Alistair: Our future plans mostly involve continuing to do what we already do: teaching at Cambridge, applying for grants, and jetting off to the ends of the Earth to put our research funds to good use. We'll probably retire in five or six years, and travel to some of the few places we haven't been before - fishing in Antarctica, rafting in Bhutan, hiking in the Himalayas, things like that. If we were ever to settle permanently in somewhere besides England, it would probably be in Africa; either Kenya or Tanzania. We're ready for any adventure life is willing to throw at us next... the only thing we're planning on is to do it side by side.

Default mangnoliae: Round 4
Honeymoon Location



We decided to vacation somewhere that neither of us had ever been before, a tropical rainforest! We went to the island nation of Dominica in the Caribbean because it is renowned for it's beautiful, untouched nature and numerous water falls and wildlife. We rented a little cabin for a week. It was so cool, there were so many trees surrounding it, it was like a tree house!

The Room



We fell in love with the room, we may have to decorate a room in our real house after this one. It was so calming and soothing yet still had an exotic and tropical feel. Collin loved the chair hanging from the ceiling, he's such a kid at heart!

Activities



We loved all the hiking available on the island and we explored many different trails. One day, we came across a hot spring that was heated naturally by volcano. It was so relaxing and amazing after an intense hike.


Life After Marriage


1. How has married life been so far?

It's been great! We are so happy together, and never regret our decision to get married. We both work, but always make sure to spend time each day together whether it be dinner, or watching one of our favorite movies. On the weekends we still get to do all the outdoor activities we enjoy together.

2. What are your future plans?

Well, we have gotten a dog, but for now that's as big as our family is going to get. We do plan to have kids in the future but we want to save up to buy a bigger house first. We're getting there, and on our way to fulfilling our dreams of having a family.






-----------------------------

wow, finally finished. Thanks for waiting for me, and sorry for holding everyone else up. I'm glad I got to finish this contest, for some reason, I had so many things going on that I just forgot when I applied. I loved the idea of the honeymoon round though and just had to finish it!


oh and Freelancer, wonderful entry, the attention to detail is amazing!
