Today is our final blog post from our honeymoon.
As we mentioned before, we had a great time in the lagoon snorkeling yesterday. 
We were a bit melancholy, however, that we were unable to take photos given our camera was destroyed in the saltwater. We decided we wanted to venture back out into the lagoon, and booked Teking for a private charter, in celebration of Rae's birthday. The best aspect was probably the ability to control where we spent time. We focused on the areas we really enjoyed the day before for both scenery as well as snorkeling. 
This time we had our digital SLR with us, and captured some picturesque views to share with everyone. The topper was that we had a champagne brunch in the shallows of the lagoon, prepared by our captain and first mate. The fish swam right up underneath the table and through our legs, hoping to get a sample of bread. We obliged, and captured some great photos of it. The snorkeling was at least as incredible as the day before, and we really enjoyed that we were able to share it just to ourselves. An amazing experience.

We're sad to see our honeymoon go, but we feel ready to get home, see family, and sleep in our own bed. 12 days was just perfect, enough to truly enjoy everything we wanted to, but also not too long as to be hoping the trip would end.
We've now returned home to Raleigh and had a chance to absorb the whole wedding and honeymoon experience. There are mixed emotions about it being over. We're happy everything went perfectly, but sad that it is all over. It is certainly as everyone said: it goes faster than you can truly appreciate.
We have posted all of our favorite photos from the wedding and honeymoon to the following link. This includes the disposable cameras from the wedding day, a collection of photos from everyone on wedding day, honeymoon photos, and the photo booth pics from the wedding day.
We want to say thanks to everyone for their love and support. You are all wonderful.
Love,
David and Raechel
