Again, I apologize for the lack of blog posts. It’s been so busy and so much fun getting married and getting settled into the ole condo with my wife.
We had an amazing wedding. Sarah and I have gone over the details in our minds several times and there isn’t one thing that we would change. Everything from the Rehearsal Dinner to the Reception was so much fun. We really enjoyed all of it and are super grateful to our family and friends for their help, love and support. Special thanks to Aaron Stern for delivering one of the most meaningful wedding messages ever! Our family has received several calls and emails about how special his talk was and how encouraging it was to them.
And the honeymoon in Mexico was exquisite ( a few pictures below)…except for the part about flying with Continental Airlines. Getting home was quite possibly the worst flying experience in my life. I’ve flown internationally for the last 12 years and NEVER had a flight delayed for 8 hours and eventually canceled…all without telling the passengers what was actually happening. The three people handling passengers didn’t communicate properly with the passengers. They misspoke when they did try. At one point they told us that our flight may be canceled and we wouldn’t be able to fly out until Tuesday at the earliest (it was Saturday).
After they canceled our flight, we were taken to our hotel for the night. Except they sent us to the wrong hotel and it took 2 hours for Continental to get us a shuttle to our correct hotel (the Radison chain is not nearly as nice in Mexico). We slept for 2 hours and then took a cab back to the airport to get in line with 1,500 plus people trying to check in that morning only to find that our flight had been delayed yet again. Our flight crew didn’t even know they had been delayed. They sat in the waiting area with the rest of us waiting without any info! We finally made it back to Houston and tried to fly standby the rest of the day to Birmingham. Third time’s the charm and we got into Birmingham only 24 hours late.
I love my wife so much!! It was so awesome to travel with Sarah. She’s flown internationally as well so none of it was a big deal. In the midst of the craziness and yelling and cussing in the terminals we sat back and laughed at everyone…including the family of 4 that dropped $3,000 to fly to Indianapolis and then drive through the night to Detroit. It was right then and there we made one of our first Worster Family Rules: unless someone is being born, dying or some other life altering situation there is no reason to spend $3,000 to get on a plane.
