Love & Marriage

Best Man & Maid of Honor

This past weekend, we had the privilege of attending and participating in our friends' wedding.  The weather was gorgeous and so was the wedding.  The Mr. even agreed to a slow dance.  The Mr. actually loves to get dressed up and he looked so great. We did a combined speech for the couple and it turned out great. We aren't much of public speakers but we included funny, memorable moments with the couple and they laughed and even teared up. It was a really special evening.

Our special weekend wasn't over yet, the Mr. & I celebrated our first wedding anniversary! We have a 5 day vacation coming up next month, so we decided to plan a mini-getaway for the rest of the weekend.  We brought some bubbly and spent the night in Salem at the Grand Hotel. We also went out to Cinebarre for a dinner and movie combo.  It was our first time going to Cinebarre and it was great.  We watched 'Horrible Bosses' while nom-ing on a burger(for the Mr.), Gruyere grilled cheese(for me) and a refreshing beer.  While we were only 20 min away from home I pretended every minute we were away on vacation and it sure was nice.  I can't wait for all the other anniversaries there will be to celebrate. I feel so lucky.
