Back in September, Mike, the girls & I spent a weekend in Ft. Lauderdale for a beach wedding. Mike's Uncle Keith & his fiance Amy were finally tying the knot after 19 years together! It's been ages since we went anywhere so it was fun to pack up the car and get out of town!
Keith & Amy chose a quaint little hotel on the beach for their wedding location. The rooms were affordable and the view was spectacular!
We arrived around lunch time Saturday, we swam in the saltwater pool and explored the beach where the girls collected mini coconuts! Mikayla studied the letter "C" at school the following week and brought hers for show & share with her class. :)
After some fun on the beach & in the pool we got showered & dressed for the wedding!
While we were waiting for the bride & groom, we had fun taking pictures and catching up with family.
Mike's Mom, Dad & sister Lauren
Mike's sister Allison and her baby bump... Reese :)
Chloe, Mikey & Paige
Uncle Chuck, Aunt Betty, Tess & Ed
Troy, Alli, Bob & Lynette
Uncle Ed, Sue, Aunt Carol & Uncle Dennis
David, Shannon, Chloe, Timmy, Kristin & Maggie Rose
Finally when the bridal party came down from their rooms, we congregated on the beach under the palm trees for the wedding ceremony!
Keith & Amy were so happy, and very thankful to everyone who was able to be a part of their special day.
After the ceremony, we kicked back for a casual reception. The barbeque buffet was delish, the drinks were flowing & weather was beautiful! It was a perfect one night getaway for me, Mike & the girls plus a happy occasion to catch up with our extended family.
When we woke up Sunday morning we requested a late check out. Most of the wedding guests had already left so we had the pool & the Atlantic all to ourselves. We hated to come home so soon but that's life. Time always flies when we're having fun. Hopefully, there's another getaway in our future!
