Oh what a weekend in Florida...

Oh what a weekend oh what a wedding! Well it was definitely not a good start to my weekend we got to the airport on time...only to find out our flight was delayed for two hours! When we finally got to the hotel I was amazed to see swans in the hotel lobby! They are two brothers Frederick and Ronald...two of the sweetest swans ever! We went exploring and saw the biggest tree ever...I felt like I was in It's a Bug's Life or something! I climbed the tree and got stuck haha of course...luckily my friend Jake was there to help me get down! After that I went for a ride on Jake's grandfathers yacht! This yacht is bigger than my dorm room and my house combined.


That's the tree and the really big boat at the end is the one I went on! It was the best time of my life! Clearly I need to move to Florida...and marry rich =P. The next day we went exploring yet again! I felt like Dora the Explorer! We went to a outdoor mall place and it was really fun. Had homemade gelato and it was the best I have ever had!

That night was the rehearsal dinner...first time seeing this side of the family in five years! It was nice to catch up with everyone although none of us have really changed. My cousin Louie ended up getting pushed in the water by the groomsmen because he wouldn't buy the next round of shots! Guess he learned his lesson! Then it was time for the Wedding! If you remember me saying how I had never met the bride although I was a bridesmaid and she told us all to wear whatever pink dress we wanted? Yea well we looked FANTASTIC! I think this wedding was the biggest disaster I have ever seen! Although my cousin Anthony is very happy with Jennifer, they might have wanted to plan this better! The wedding was overall a good time! Here's the happy couple...

This weekend was the first time I met my cousins daughter Madison! I absolutely adore this little girl! She is two years old and I met her at the rehearsal party. All at dinner she wanted to sit with me and at the wedding the next day...she did something not so nice but funny. Madison was the flower girl and she ran up the aisle and threw the petals at the bride than ran right to my lap! At the family BBQ the next day she played with me the whole time! I love this little girl and I miss her already! Overall it was a very good weekend! Definitely not what I had expected...although I did leave out the bad details!
