welcome to the schmidt sphere! since the wedding website was so successful, we thought this would be an easy way for people to keep tabs on us and our newlywedded bliss :)
we sincerely hope that everyone had a fantastic time at the wedding and enjoyed it as much as we did! although it went by WAY too fast, we are so thankful to everyone who was able to help us celebrate our marriage. for those of you who were unable to attend, we are so grateful for your love and support, as we certainly felt it on december 28, 2007!
after the wedding, we were able to escape to the tropical paradise of hawai'i for our honeymoon (yay!). we had a wonderful time and were able to do SO many amazing activities, thanks to everyone's generousity. below are a few photos from our fantastic trip...
