Florida Wedding

Two weekends ago, Carl and I went to Florida to go to Kathy's wedding. It was the first wedding I've been to since we got engaged and, as always, we had tons of fun. I love that Carl likes (is willing?) to dance with me and is a good sport (kind of) about getting dressed up. I have no idea how many weddings I've been to. I would guess around 40 or 50? But I still enjoy going to them. I love seeing what people do, getting dressed up, free drinks and having a little fun on the dance floor.  My DC girlfriends were there, too, and it was great to see them.  Carl has met them all before but I'm glad he got a chance to get to know them even more. 

It was also the first time I've ever been to a wedding on the beach. I've been to weddings that are in beach towns but they have always been at the hotel. This was literally on the beach. Surprisingly it cooled off and was pretty tolerable to be outside for a Florida evening (although I was still happy the reception was inside).  While I am very excited to get married outside, I am glad that we are not doing it on the beach. First, Carl would never stand for it. Second, there are so many strangers who just witness your wedding and take pictures. So strange - I would never take pictures of people I didn't know getting married.  All in all it was a fun, relaxing weekend.  We have one more wedding to attend before we get married!
