I just got married over the holidays....we also stayed in a hotel the first night and I booked the hotel for an extra night as well....so we woke up in the morning and went down for breakfast, after that we went up to get ready and then made our way to my parents house....had a nice family lunch, then I dropped my wife at her parents house, went back home...chilled with my friends for a bit...then went back to pick her up, spent an hour or so at her parents, then she and I went out for a quiet dinner just her and me...it was fun....
We stayed in the hotel again for the 2nd night...then the following morning we went to my house....and that night we had our valima..
Staying at the hotel for 2 nights was cool...we got our own space and were able to relax, hang out....
