This weekend was a blast! So great to see old friends! That is the beautiful thing about weddings, it's like a college reunion.
We started our weekend off on Friday around 12:30pm and headed up to Tampa to celebrate the union of Ryan and Molly. We stopped off for some lunch up in Ft. Lauderdale at Moe's. What a wonderful place. Moo Moo Mr. Cow is always my go to. On our way up we encoutered some traffic jams on Alligator Alley and was behind schedule about 45 minutes. No good. This meant we were going to cut it close on getting to the wedding on time. About 4.5 hours later we made it to Tampa changed into our wedding garb in the car with about 1 minute to spare before the bride walked down the aisle. How we made it on time was a miracle. The wedding was gorgeous! Molly looked beautiful and Ryan looked very handsome as well. It was a beautiful ceremony with the best performance of a wedding song I've heard yet (and I've been to my fair share of weddings).
Next it was off to the reception. It was at the The Florida Aquarium! It was the first time I had ever seen a reception done in an Aquarium. What a great idea! As we waited for the wedding party to start the reception we were able to see all the sea creatures they had there. It made the time pass by very quickly. There was wonderful food, great dancing, and before we knew it we sent Ryan and Molly off on their honeymoon.

That night we drove over to Orlando to spend the night at Crystal's house (thanks Crystal for allowing us to stay with you guys!).
Saturday morning was prep time for Li's baby shower. Crystal, Katie and Tereasa did a fantastic job planning and executing the shower.

Crystal handpainted all the birdhouses
Li's shower turned out so beautiful! We were so exhausted after, we went home and took naps! Sunday morning we had breakfast with some college friends and their wives at Keke's. It was so great to see everyone again and relive those college days...good times.
