Very handsome couple!

I love your wedding gown.

Kathy

Thanks.... This was my second marriage, but I got married by a justice of the peace the first time in Jeans and t-shirt, and no I was no pregnant... ha-ha

So, I went for it the second time around....

It is an Oleg Cassini gown, spent more than I should have but it is all preserved in my closet taking up space and looking good. i always tease my DH that one day we will renew our vows and I will wear it again....

thanks alot..... more than anything we are happy, it is kinda weird everyone told me growing up that opposites attract, but we are just alike. We almost finish each others sentences and we like the same things, plus we were friends long before anything else so I think that helps.

the cake being black had one draw back... Everyone who ate a piece had a dark purple tongue afterwards, so in some of the pictures everyones mouth is purple... Made for funny pictures.

I hope we have a low key weekend too...I have a ton to get done around the house.

I'm taking DS to a baseball game on Labor day too! We are going to the Phillies Vs Marlins.

What part of MD do you live in? I grew up outside of Frederick.

the first one I married because my mother told me not to, and I stayed there for 11 years....trying to prove her wrong....

This one was because he was my best friend and we feel in love, it was amazing, their one of us wanted it either... but by far the best thing I have ever done!

I am in a place called Odenton, half way between Annapolis and Baltimore.

Have fun at your ball game!

I second that! It took me nine years to realize that I made a mistake.

Brandi - what a beautiful bride you were! Awesome pics and LOVE the cakes

I've been away for a bit - but am enjoying catching up with you

I've booked my trip! But we'll be at Beach Club instead of AKL. I couldn't get CL and really wanted it. Got such a good deal on BC that I couldn't resist, especially since it's DD's new favorite and we'll be next door to Epcot for Food & Wine stuff. Hopefully we can still meet up

Since we will be at Food and Wine all week I am sure that we can meet up....

I am sure you will have a great time at BCV, that is our "Home".....So close to EPCOT, that it is amazing....

Hi!

I'm also in Maryland, near your neck of the woods actually.

Your plans look awesome; I'm even a bit envious! I love cruises (only did one... and eloped during the cruise), bay crabs (even picking them), baseball, and pretty much everything else you've done!

We're going on our very first trip in 3 weeks and I can't wait!

Where are you at in Maryland??????

I love cruises also, we have 3 this year, I just seem to relax so much on them. I am not happy that Celebrity is pulling out of Baltimore.
