Wedding Day!

Greg and I got married last weekend - hooray! There were lots and lots of photos taken, but I only managed to take a few - oddly there are none of Greg! To fill in such an important person I took to Facebook and borrowed a photo that Greg's Aunt Cheryl posted (thanks Cheryl!)

To rewind a little bit, we started our day at the hotel and kicked it off with breakfast:

A mid-hair shot at Life Salon and Spa, check out those waves (and mimosa!)

I am very excited to see the professional photos, but until then here are a mis-mash of lovely guests:

Dave, a thoughtful and generous friend dressed himself in a varied of plaids for the wedding. I couldn't miss this opportunity to highlight this fact and point out such a creative styling choice. Well done Dave:

My phone was borrowed for a little bit, unbeknown to me, and came back with this picture of two pretty ladies:

The best flower girl ever!

These four folks helped to decorate the hall, thank yoooooou for all of your hard work!

After the party closed down at the Boat Club we kept it going in downtown Halifax at the Foggy Goggle. Partying continued for another 2 hours and eventually we got sleepy, as Allison is appropriately demonstrating on the right:

All in all an awesome day despite a few showers earlier in the morning and early afternoon. Thanks to everyone who made our wedding day so special and unforgettable!

Blog Break

I'll be taking a little break from blogging for the next week as Greg and I are getting married this weekend - hooray!

I will be sure to post pictures of all of the fun.

See you soon!

Socks!

I did it! I finally finished this pair of socks after far, far too long.

I followed the pattern and instructions at Silver Sock Class (I used the pattern for "one sock on four double pointed needles), and if you're interested in knitting socks  I recommend it. It was my first pair and the instructions (with lots of pictures) were really easy and straightforward to follow.

For my birthday last year Greg gave me a ball of wool to start another pair of socks. So now, with one under my belt I am getting around to the second pair. Hopefully this project doesn't take me quite as long.

Fall Photo Checklist

While on the internet prowl I came across a few photo checklists that might inspire some festive snaps throughout the year. Some items on each list are a bit cheesy but others are a nice way to be sure I take my camera out to photograph more than what Greg and I cooked up for dinner.

Here is the photo checklist for fall:

Pub Night

On Friday evening Greg and I ventured to Halifax to pick up my altered wedding dress (4 inches were taken from each hip, I really have no hips) and caught up with some great friends at the Hart & Thistle pub down on the waterfront.

It was lovely.

If you haven't been to the Hart & Thistle I highly recommend it. Not only do they have a great menu (I had fish and chips and it was heavenly) but they brew their own beer and I have yet to find something I dislike. I'm not even an IPA person but their IPA was yummy (I had a sip or two of Greg's). My preference is for darker beers so I enjoyed their interestingly named Sweet Baby Jesus Porter.
