It’s decided. I want to be married outside by the water. 🙂
Talk about a gorgeous day! Steven and Andrea could not have asked for a more beautiful setting to be united as man and wife. I wish nothing but happiness and love for the two of them. 🙂
Being the girlfriend of a groomsman, it was fun to get a behind the scenes look of a wedding. *note* this was my first time dating a member of any wedding party and I’ve never been a member of a wedding party, so this is really the closest I’ve come to being a part of one!
Doesn’t Derek look cute?
Hello Beautiful Cake! We’ll meet later. I promise. 😉
Pre-wedding ceremony jitters were calmed by all involved with a quick shot of Maker’s Mark.
Cheers!
The wedding and ceremony were held at the recreation center in Clearwater. I loved everything about it – the view of the water, the surrounding dock and palm trees, the nice cool breeze coming off the water – everything!
The Hors De’voures were served on the dock and included fresh fruit, cheese and crackers, empanadas, and mini sandwiches.
Derek and I shared a plate of our favorites.
We were ushered inside where little plates of ceasar salad were waiting.
Derek made me proud with his official entrance. 😉
It should also be noted that Derek is an AWESOME dancer. Years of dancing in Quinceaneras (he danced in FIVE) really taught him to shake his booty!
The first dance was followed by the main course – an Italian medley of chicken parmesan, tortellini, and vegetables.
Looks like my luck of catching boquets had run out.
I didn’t stand a chance!
Neither did Derek. :/
I told you we would meet again cake!
I had a whole piece of the lemon (A-MA-ZING) and the frosting from a piece of chocolate. The cake was moist and flavorful, I licked the crumbs of of both mine and Derek’s plates. 🙂
When the sun goes down, it can only mean one thing…
Time to dance!
We had a blast shaking our hips well in to the night. Derek really is an amazing dancer and tried hard to teach me a few moves, but I have a rhythm problem (basically I have none). It’s still fun though. 🙂
We’re off to have breakfast and share photos with Derek’s parents. Happy Sunday everyone!
What awesome pictures! Looks like you guys had such a blast.

Looks like a beautiful wedding! I get emotional at weddings because it makes me think of mine.
I got married on the side of a mountain but close second would have definitely been by the water. My alma mater has a beautiful location for weddings.
Glad you had such a great time!!

The wedding looks like a blast! You look beautiful, I love your dress.
Looks like a blast! I love outdoor weddings, but I’d be SO nervous about the elements. In Kansas, my luck would be that there was a tornado.
P.S. Totally agree with everyone that your dress is lovely!

You and Derek are the sweetest couple ever and I can not wait until your wedding one day!!!! I am really excited, is that bad?!! I just know it will be amazing, and I get married in June, and after that I will be admiring all of my lovely friends weddings like yours one day on the blog! I know you will make the most beautiful bride!
The wedding was so beautiful and the bride was too! Congrats to the couple!

Glad you had a great time! What a gorgeous ceremony set-up they had.
(I’d consider editing the remark about dinner though – I mean, it’s not a restaurant you’re reviewing! What if the bride saw this?)

Cute! I love the pic of you and Derek by the water kissing (hello, frame-worthy!) and the Derek’s entrance made me giggle, haha. You both look amazing and the wedding looks beautiful!
I can’t get my guy on a dance floor for nuthin’! He doesn’t like to dance but I’m a dancing machine 🙂 I now stick to shaking my booty around the house, lol

Don’t feel bad — my boyfriend is an amazing dancer too (has been dancing salsa and related dances for years and years)… and I have zero rhythm. I feel like an idiot next to him, but it’s also kind of sexy to have a man who can dance 😉
what a great day! both you and derek look so good. love the brides dress! and yes i agree that cake is amazing 🙂
kalli recently posted..Good to Great
You guys look great! I’ve never seen groomsman wear any other color than black. That color suits Derek well 🙂
No dancing videos to post? 😉
That does look beautiful at the waterfront. And I want some cake tooooooo!!! You look pretty 🙂
I use to live right near Clearwater (in Safety Harbor). It’s so pretty there 🙂 That cake looks so delicious !
its ok meghann, we didnt inherit the dancing bug genes.
That cake is really beautiful; I want something simple and elegant like that at my wedding. Derek looks so cute you just want to pinch his cheeks.

It looks like you had a great time!
I really liked the color scheme of the wedding. Most weddings are all girlie in color – this one was a great mix of feminine + masculine.
The photos of the dancing made me laugh:-)

All of Derek’s friends were great. It was my first time meeting alot of them and I’m glad I did. It was fun seeing who Derek grew hanging out with. 🙂
What a BEAUTIFUL wedding! It seriously looks like you had a TON of fun dancing and hanging out 🙂 Love your dress!

I love the mostly pictoral story telling.
I love outdoor weddings too… we tried to get married outside but a crazy storm blew and changed our plans.
CampingGirl recently posted..Intermediate Dog Class 1
That’s my fear! But I think it’s worth the risk to at least try to plan for it.
How cute! Is Derek part/full Hispanic?
He’s half honduran.
What a beautiful setting for a wedding!! I already have my wedding spot (not even engaged) all picked out and it is by the water on an island in Georgia. Gorgeous!!
haha – I already have a wedding spot picked out too!
Wow-the wedding looks beautiful! And it looks like it was an absolutely gorgeous day!

What a beautiful place for a wedding! And perfect weather! Here in Oregon we can’t really guarantee rain-free outdoor weddings except for the month of August. That’s it. 🙂
