Austin and Mel's Wedding

I know they say rain is good luck on your wedding day, which we had some of that, but what about finding a baby duck? 

Prior to us leaving for St. Augustine, where Austin and Mel's wedding was held, the boys found "Rubber" on the side of the road on their way home from golfing while the girls were getting pedicures and patiently waiting for them to come home so we could hit the road. They quickly set "Rubber" free in the backyard pond before we hit the road.

It was fun getting to spend some time in St. Augustine. The first night there we attended the rehearsal dinner at O.C. White's Seafood & Spirits hosted by Robert's parents.

 It was a fun night gathering with family and friends. 

I think Kathy started rethinking her seat selection after trying to keep busy-bee Annabelle entertained. :) They were fun to watch.

Enjoying a yummy dinner!

Following dinner we went out on the town and explored a bit. We ended up at a delicious waffle dessert house where we indulged in the most yummy strawberry and ice cream sugar covered waffle. Others bought fun and unique popsicles. If things weren't sweet enough already, we also got to watch Austin and Mel exchange their pre-wedding gifts. They're so cute! Afterward, Robert and I headed back to our hotel room to call it a night.

 However, we took the long way back on purpose and took a little stroll of our own on the Bridge of Lions to see these impressive pirate ships.

 Annabelle was zonked out at this point.

WEDDING DAY!

The next day we headed to the beautiful Cathedral in St. Augustine where we were able to watch Austin and Mel get married. Well, Annabelle and I saw only parts - we also saw parts of St. Augustine as we went for a walk around the cathedral to pass the time. Luckily, we were able to catch the "good parts" like Mel walking down the aisle, the kiss, and the announcement of the married couple.

It was a beautiful setting and we enjoyed learning the history of the cathedral and town. If you want a full glimpse of the special day you can view a slideshow here.

The bridal party and cute couple.

Robert was the best man in this fine group of groomsmen.

The decor. They went for a medical theme since they are both in the medical field. I thought the funniest part was the table assignments. You were given your name and designated to a table marked by human body parts and they had funny captions for each one. For example, EKG: "The ones who have rhythm." 

 Introducing MR. & MRS. Fountain

 Annabelle loved dancing - she was hilarious to watch on the dance floor.

 It was a fun and busy night as we socialized, danced, ate, and ran around chasing Annabelle.

 I just love happily ever afters...
