First post here since the wedding

It's amazing how time flies on by as we draw nearer to our 1-month anniversary! Marriage has been a true blessing for us in so many different ways.
I have yet to gather myself enough to do a wedding recap post for either of our weddings (we got married in the US and then in Korea), but I'll get there someday. I've just got a couple of things that have been on my mind that I just kind of want to let out, I suppose.
We got a call late last night from my husband's supervisor telling him that they want him to move to Chicago (we are in MN) by the end of August. Relocation is tough enough of a topic on its own. What makes it more complicated for us is that his company is his sponsor here for his work visa. My husband's work permit and whatnot.are currently in process, but we do not yet have the actual work permit. Thus, his company basically holds a monopoly over our lives.
However, we contacted our attorney today, and if his company keeps pushing him to move and threatens to fire him if he doesn't comply, he CAN work elsewhere perfrectly legally since the documents are in process. We were not originally wanting to opt for this, but if push comes to shove, we at least have an alternate route that we can take without having to give up everything we have here. Our attorney said that so long as someone is willing to take him in, go for it. ^^;; We'll see what his company's next moves are, though.
I could not sleep at all last night because of this, and I went to work with a terrible headache this morning. All's well now, though. ^^;; As long as we both hold on to God, we'll be able to get through it all. 아자아자 화이팅!!
Then, I am just worrying myself so much over our wedding photos. Our photographers came in from Chicago, so we were sure to send them every single location detail well in advance so they could map it all out and jazz. Well, they never bothered to print directions and just kept asking people how to get places (mostly). After the ceremony, he asked out pastor (I would like to now say our former pastor, a story for another entry) how to get to the reception site. Well, the bridal party gets to the reception site along with a few others, and there's no sign of the photographers. I finally call them and find that they've gone way past the exit they needed to take. It took so long for them to finally arrive, and we already had such precious little time for photos. The family shots were so rushed, and we weren't able to take even half as many photos of just the two of us as I would have liked.
[starting a new paragraph just to break it up] Hence, I'm just so scared that the few photos they did take won't turn out how we hoped and that they may not have captured our ceremony how we asked and that we'll look through our pictures regretting not having this one or that one. My grandparents are already a little upset they weren't able to get a posed shot with us, and my mother expressed concern that the only shot I got with my parents might be of them kissing me on the cheek. Our wedding happens only once! How do you let something like that happen! They had plenty of time before the wedding to map everything out and do test drives and whatnot. They should have also asked to be sure there weren't other photos I was hoping to have done. GAHHH.
I meant to call them today since they didn't respond to my email in what I feel a suitable manner, but I'll have to call tomorrow now. I just want a few photos to ease my mind instead of thinking, "Oh my goodness, our wedding photos are ruined."
On a lighter note, our wedding highlights video is incredible. YellowTree did such an amazing job with it. Even my mother, who couldn't understand why we would pay to have someone videotape our wedding, has sent it to everyone she knows, stating that she watches it about 10 times a day. XD They did such a beautiful job with it. For those looking for song inspiration ideas for their videos, I highly recommend the one we did: "At the Beginning" by Richard Marx and Donna Lewis (sp?) from the Anastasia soundtrack. ♡
Anyway, that's enough for now.
Good night!
