A wedding weekend in Florida

After a week in snowy Chicago, David and I traded in the freezing temps for a mild 78 degrees in sunny Fort Lauderdale, Florida. His first cousin Wesley and fiance Christy were married at the Episcopal church there and the reception was at the Ritz Carlton. David and I were able to spend some time with Wesley and Christy this past summer in New Orleans...remember this post? I flew down to Florida on Friday to meet up with my date for the evening, my fabulous sis-in-law Amanda. David was able to fly in, change, and make it just in time for dinner and dancing on Saturday at the reception. I had so much fun being with David's side of the family this weekend - I never get to spend time with Kimberly and Pamela, and they're so fun! Its always wonderful to be with the Curth side!

My and Amanda's (and later, David's) sweet suite in Ft. Lauderdale

Our patio doors opened to the pool deck....not too bad! It was amazing to see that blue ocean too...and we had incredible weather!

The groom, Wesley; the bride, Christy; the FOG, Al; the MOG, Noel; the sis and bro of the groom, Pamela and Lange - all before the rehearsal dinner.

Me and my date!

Toast time!

After several scheduled cocktail times and a trip to the hotel bar, Amanda, Kimberly and I took it in for the night...and ditched our shoes too.

Woopsie! These are on the wrong feet!

Headed to the pre-reception cocktails...

Yay! David made it just in time for dinner!

The gorgeous ballroom!

And at the end of the night, everyone gathered at Whiskey Blue next door at the W. Wow. You can tell how late it was!
