On the 8th Adam and Jennifer got married. Originally, the wedding was supposed to take place outside at the beautiful Sinnissippi Gardens. But it rained all week and on the day of the wedding it was decided to hold it in the same hall that the reception was going to be in. So someone was placed at the Gardens to inform people of the change of location!
Adam spent the morning in Chicago with his dad, stepmom and sisters. All he needed to do was throw his tux on quick so he figured it was ok to return just before he had to leave for the wedding. What he didn't know is that he had the only key to his apartment and that his mother was stranded outside with no phone, no car and all of her clothes, makeup and hair products inside! Once again, Adam managed to foul things up and the wedding had to commence a half-hour behind schedule. Jennifer's sister and maid of honor kept saying "If he doesn't show up I'm going to kill him!" :)

After the wedding Adam and Jennifer went on a cruise out of Florida for their honeymoon. It stopped at the Bahama's and Key West and was a 4 day 3 night event.
While at Key West Jennifer got sunburned so bad she fell sick with sun poisoning and had a 100+ degree temperature. On the way back to port one of the ships engines quit and we had to spend an extra day at sea while the ship's smokestacks belched black soot on everyone. Despite these small disappointments it was a memorable vacation.

Upon returning from their honeymoon they had to get settled in their new apartment. It was very, very small. Adam remembers coming home from work one day to see Jennifer kneeling on the floor in front of one of the dining room chairs. She was making bbq ribs for dinner and had run out of counter space! Mmmm, but it was finger lickin' good! Adam used to joke that it was tough living in such a small apartment but at least you could vacuum the whole place without having to change plugs and in the middle of the night you didn't have to get up to go to the bathroom! :)
Jennifer went back to work at The Great Harvest Bread Co. and Adam went back to Interim Personnel. Things continued much like that until one day in November when they decided to shake things up.
