First off, the new blog title was Evan's idea. Say my full *new* name out loud to get it. (It's the Ann Anderson that gets him) I'll say it was pretty clever, but will probably change soon.
Second- the wedding was wonderful, I was lucky enough to have my family come out for the big day and no major problems. Both my parents lost their luggage, but it arrived in plenty of time for the wedding.
Instead of words, I'll let the pictures do the talking.
The reception was also beautiful. My parents were an hour late (they got lost) but the dj was AMAZING and managed to make it work anyway. Look up Joe from Dynamite DJs if you ever need a dj. He was spectacular. I cannot even express- pretty much without him our reception would have fallen apart.
Yeah, I wore green shoes.
All in all, most amazing day I've had so far :)
We spent Saturday with Evan's family (my mom flew home early that morning and my dad, brothers, and juana braved DC one more time to tour around). Then, after a wonderful round two of bad movie night (which meant I fell asleep and once again missed out on the cinematic geniuses offered in some lesser known/appreciated movies) we left for Florida. 15 hours later we arrived at our resort and thought "this can't be right... these look like homes." Indeed, our room was larger than our apartment and our resort offered more than we could ever need. Including four pools, two of which were 24 hours with poolside restaurants, a shuffleboard court, a mini golf course, a lake with jetski/boat rentals and beautiful landscaping/wildlife.
At the end of a week in paradise, we sadly returned home to our small apartment, full of boxes and random assorted item scattered about. We spent the following week moving things, dumping things, unpacking, rearranging, and cleaning. We rewarded ourselves with a slice of godiva cheesecake and a taco bell $2 meal. The taco bell was what was to be expected. Wonderful. The cheesecake however was an amazing experience. It was exactly what it claimed to be. Godiva chocolate cheesecake. I was in an actual need of the whipped cream this week to tone down the rich flavor, but did not regret once eating my way through that slice of heaven.
I should also give a big hats off to Nerissa for making our wedding cake. From scratch. Three cheesecakes actually. Not only were they delicious, they were so delicious that Evan and I had to put up a fight for the last 1/2 of cheesecake. Which we finished on our return from florida. Unfortunately, we only had the pleasure of trying one flavor (Dulce de Leche, which can compete with cheesecake factory easily), but I have heard from many happy mouths that the other two cakes were just as satisfying. If you wish to see more pictures check facebook (eventually) or Brandon's (our photographer) website for his. I'll put a link in our side bar once I find it.
Until next week!
