Post-Op Day # 96 - Time To Celebrate!

Well I slept in, boy I was soooooooo tired from Friday haha! I hung around the house in my Pj's for quite a while....haha, think I finally got dressed at 1pm! LOL

I had some lunch with my mom and her friend Jill. We stayed inside because it was so dang hot out again.

I had some time to fart around checking email etc.... before having to get showered and dolled up for the wedding. I bought a really cute black N white dress here in WA, State so wore that, plus some very cute shoes with an inch heel. Yup, I wore both shoes ---though I did take my walking boot with me in the car just incase! :-)

The ceremony was at 3pm and I needed to leave earlier to go pick up my friend Angela, she was my DATE since Adam couldn't go to the island this time.

I pick her up and we head over to the Merridale Cidery where the ceremony was, they didn't have very good signage for the wedding(not my friends fault). Finally we figure it out and start walking down the hill to where the tent was and I nearly died.....it was steep but worse part was everyone was SITTING and waiting for the bride n groom.

Angela and I get to our seats and then we hear the music start.......oh man talk about CLOSE CALL! HA HA! OH well, we made it and it was a fabulous ceremony. Tessa looked phenomenal in her dress and Brendon looked sharp in his tux.

I took a bunch of pictures so I'll have to put a couple up for you to see :-)

The ceremony finished, we got to walk up and congratulate them before everyone started to head back up the hill to where they were going to do their wedding photos.

We didn't know that we had about an hour or so before the reception started so we decided to head out and go get a cold drink/quick snack at Timmy Hortons in Mill Bay.

After that we head down to the CFB Wardroom which is part of the Naval base in Esquimalt. Wow, that place was beautiful! They had appetizers and a bar for the guest to get some bevies etc.... before moving into the dinning/dancing hall. Neither of us had anything to drink or eat at that point becuase we had Timmy's instead! HA HA!

We all moved to the hall and then the evenings festivities began. Lots of toasts, speeches etc.... and then we had a wonderful buffet dinner! mmmmmmm hmmmm fabulous food!
Oh and we had 4 other people sitting at the table with us and they were SUPER COOL! We had so much fun with them.....haha, we all kept saying that our table (#6 )was the best table there. haha!

I took my 10mg of warfarin @ 8pm! YAY ME FOR REMEMBERING! haha!

We watched Tess & Brendon have their first dance etc.... it was so awesome. After a short bit everyone got up and started to dance the night away! WOOT WOOT! Even Angela and I got up and danced for a while, though neither of us were in great shape with bad ankles! HA HA! Oh well, we did pretty good all things considered.

We stayed till midnight then head back up island home -- I dropped Angela off then made my way back to Duncan to my moms to sleeeeeeeeeeeeep! YAY! Phew, what a wonderful day but wow tiring too!

Thanks for checking in
