Six Until Me.: Sparkling.

Mrs. Kerri Morrone Sparling Hey blogosphere! I've missed you!

I have so much to tell you all, from marrying my best friend to a joyous reception in Rhode Island surrounded by our families and loved ones, from our luxurious honeymoon in the Dominican Republic and our Coco Loco drinks by the ocean to our safe travels home and our return to work.

There are more than 1,000 pictures that need to be uploaded, giggled at, and enjoyed. There are countless bottles of champagne in our house. There are suitcases to be unpacked, cats to be wrangled, and a fridge to be restocked. There are mountains of well wishes and gracious gestures. There is so much love in our house right now it's just plain ridiculous.

(I've also been called "Kerri Sparkling" by three different offices I spoke with today. This may be an amusing trend of miscommunication. But it's a definite upgrade from "Nice to meet you, Miss Moron!" I also returned to quite a surprise in my office this morning, but more on that later. And I did happen to notice a certain Sausage on ICHC - I laughed my ass off!)

For now, Chris and I are settling in to our new life as husband and wife (Husband! Wife!). I will be updating as quickly as I can, as the photos roll in and the emails are sifted through. I'll have plenty of stories coming in the next few days, but I wanted to stop in quickly and reintroduce myself to the blogosphere as Mrs. Kerri Morrone Sparling.

You guys have been so wonderfully supportive. Chris and I really appreciate everything you've done for us.

I could not be happier!!! :D

LOL at all the "sparkling" comments - I have to agree with all of them!

Welcome back Mrs. S! I can't wait to hear how it all went, and from that photo - you looked absolutely radiant (ok, strayed from the word sparkle there just to be different lol).

Congratulations to both of you on your marriage :)

You certainly look sparkling, the Champagne is sparkling and I suspect you have a ring on your finger that sparkles. Sounds like you have the set there!

Congratulations to both of you.

All the best to Mrs & Mr Sparkling

Posted by: Bennet | May 30, 2008 09:07 AM

Welcome back, Mrs. "Sparkling"! You made a beautiful bride! Glad you enjoyed your honeymoon and those Coco Loco's....I've heard about them from family that has been to DR, but never been myself!
Congrats to you both....you sound like a very happy couple with MANY wonderful years ahead!

You are a gorgeous bride!! I'm all teary-eyed with happiness for you. Marriage is wonderful.

Congratulations and Many Happy Wishes!

Rather than sparkling, I would say "GLOWING!"

Can't wait to see the wedding pictures, and I have to know if you cried during the vows or not!
