woo! it was a BIG weekend. full full full.

1) rehearsal dinner and rehearsal followed by andrew's crazy bachelor party while shannon gathered with her own posse at the toucan

2) sleepover at shanno's... make-up by cas, quiche by les, photos by miguel

3) beautiful, fun, unique ceremony at next... many giggles had and tears were shed

4) wedding party photos at bell island park

5) power nap at home with b

6) reception dinner at next. wedding party entered to the tune of sabotage by the beastie boys

7) fantastic dinner provided by many talented cooks

8) a wide spectrum of speeches

9) dance party at the legion. super fun! brendan danced his little butt off all night. i was so proud of him!

10) on sunday a very exhausted group of nexters gathering together. no attender was not suffering from a wedding-hangover (not from drinking, just from attending!)

11) hectic clean-up in the lovenasium...

12) ...followed by a relaxing afternoon of movie watching and napping (we watched 'milk' which was really good. it was mind-boggling, infuriating, and heart-breaking. what an important story!)

13) living roomers gathered to talk shop, all still feeling wasted from wedding exhaustion

14) early night, great night's sleep

15) b started his post office job with much success!

16) les's employer won a big contract in south america securing her job indefinitely.

shannon and andrew looked so happy at their wedding. shanno kept saying that the reception dinner was way better than she even imagined. that's so awesome :D it's so great that they are finally married and are honeymooning in quebec city. frig, that place is like mini-europe, how awesome! i'm looking forward to when they get back, what a momentous occasion.

yesterday was brendan and my 3 month anniversary. we've been married 3 whole months and it's really going super-fantastic. i'm having the best time ever. friday night was the first night we spent apart in 90 days. i was quite surprised to discover that i really don't like sleeping away from him. i was telling shari that on saturday and she said "that's a good sign". she's a counsellor and said "you wouldn't believe the things i've heard, that's seriously a good sign". which was nice to hear. i think it's that sharing a bed is still a novelty and i'm still very happy each night that he doesn't leave for another home. plus, i'm always the perfect temperature when i sleep next to him.

i liked watching jase and rach dance. when i saw them i'd think "that's thirteen years of marriage right there. thirteen years of highs and lows. a thirteen year partnership that has brought them into sync with each other and they're having a blast". lovely.

i'm a good kisser and you're a fast learner.
