Hello again, blog world. I've finally come up for air after the wedding festivities, our honeymoon in Maine, unpacking and organizing our house, catching up at work and writing thank-you notes. It has been an incredible six weeks.
All of the wedding festivities were so much fun. I've known for a long time that J was the man I was supposed to marry, but I just couldn't believe the peace I felt the whole weekend. Everyone kept commenting about how calm I was before the ceremony. I was just excited to marry my best friend and see all of our planning play out.
Weddings are such an interesting event. It is just incredible to gather all the people that have been important in your life in one place at one time. Every stage of my life was represented at the wedding. I would have loved to have spent 30 minutes talking with each person, but of course, that's not really how a wedding reception goes. But it was awesome to get to see and hug friends I haven't seen in years.
Pictures are here.
Just to show who all came to the wedding: There was a table with my very first boss — a writer who did research for and served as a nanny for, my boss from my first real job and two other co-workers from that job. I just wish my co-worker from my current job had made her way to that table. Who knows what stories were told.
I had a great time dancing with my high school friends, and I was glad my Virginia friends made it to other events where I got more time with them.
The only hitch was a change in plans for our wedding night. But it meant that we got to ride in a limo to a hotel. The original plan was to walk to an inn around the corner. Considering it rained off and on that evening, the limo was a good change and our hotel was great. J also kept it from me until after the ceremony was over. He, with some help from my mom, had it all taken care of and kept it from stressing me out.
The other funny story was that I noticed a misspelling on one of the signs at the buffet. Spinach was spelled spinich. I was actually hugging a friend when I noticed it, and she got a kick out of it because I'm probably the only bride that would notice such a thing. And really, it was just funny. You can't control everything.

About Lizzie
I'm a Southern girl who enjoys visiting new places. After growing up in Tennessee, I went to college in the Midwest, returned to the Deep South to work at a newspaper, moved farther north to Virginia and then returned to the Midwest in the fall of 2011. I've been living on my own for six years, but I always struggled with cooking for myself. In 2010, I decided to join a local co-op to challenge myself to cook more, eat healthier and overcome some of my pickiness about food. And it actually worked. I've found that I love cooking, and there is a lot of good stuff out there I had been missing out on. In June of 2013, I married J, who I met thanks to this blog and my sister. Now I'm learning to cook for two and figuring out married life. This blog is about my continued adventures in the kitchen and other life adventures we enjoy.
