My husbands groomsman Jay and my bridesmaid sarah got engaged about six months before our wedding. We were so happy for them and I was very excited that I would have another wedding to look forward to after mine was over!
And what a wedding it was..
The Reception was at the Flagler museum, which should tell you everything you need to know about the lavish affair!
Ok, so you want pictures…
Here is a picture of Jay lifting Sarah’s veil during the traditional Jewish Bedecken:

Check out these centerpieces!
There was also a bonus in it for me, I got to wear just about EVERYTHING I bought for my own wedding but decided not to wear.. including a rhinestone side comb and large pendant necklace you see on me below (that’s me on the right with my bridesmaid Amy) and also the FIRST pair of silver shoes I bought (I ended up going with the fourth pair.) They all matched my baby blue vintage style dress perfectly and I feel a lot less guilty about having bought them now that I’ve worn them at least once!
All in all it was a beautiful, warm and wonderful wedding and we wish all the joy and happiness in the world for Jay and Sarah.
Next we’re headed to Charlotte NC for the wedding of our dear friends’ Mike & Tracy so stay tuned!

My husband and I chose Ana Paz, probably South Florida’s most famous cake maker (if there is such a thing) to do our wedding cake. We had 3 layers of chocolate with a layer of carrot cake inbetween…. mmmmmmm.
I have always assumed our cake would not survive until our one year anniversary because of hurricanes. Honestly, it was rather comforting to know that no matter how long we lost power for and how little food we had in the house, contained in our freezer was a package packed with enough calories to sustain my husband and I for weeks - maybe even months in the event of a major hurricane.
Surprisingly, it was not a hurricane but our decision to move back up north that finally posed us with the dilemma of the top layer.
What to do?
A friend of mine in the same predicament had shipped hers to her mother on Dry Ice overnight delivery. Somehow for us that seemed overly sentimental… maybe it was the timing, had the move come up within a few months of the wedding we would have gone that route, but as it was, 7 months later, we decided to eat it on Christmas Day.
I had my doubts about eating Seven month old cake.. could it possibly be edible?
As we removed the tin foil wrapping, I couldn’t believe how perfect it looked… the tiny white dots still all in place, it brought me right back to our wedding day.
And then there was the taste.
Unbelievably, it tasted BETTER than it did on our wedding day.. like fine wine, somehow the top layer of our cake had aged to perfection.
Now if I could only lose the 5 lbs I gained the following week when the remainder of the top layer took residence in our fridge….
