1st Wedding Anniversary Recap: Part 2
Our wedding ceremony took place in our hometown at our church. Both of our families have belonged to this same parish for as long as we can both remember.
Our families actually sit on opposite sides of the church, so during the ceremony, our priest joked that he was marrying the Montagues and Capulets!
We had beautiful, sunny weather on our wedding day, but it was 85 degrees and humid, which probably doesn’t sound that bad… unless you are sitting through a full Catholic Nuptial Mass in a church that does not have air conditioning! Even still, the ceremony felt like it totally flew by!

Happy Anniversary. I can’t believe it’s been a whole year. At the risk of sounding sappy and slightly creepy, your wedding and honeymoon posts were the first food blog posts I ever showed Mark and one reason we started the blog.
Megan — July 10, 2009 @ 8:23 am

I’ve been following the blog for well over a year, so I’m not sure why I didn’t notice last year, but I love, love, LOVE the brown bridesmaids dresses! So classy.

i loved looking at these- what a gorgeous ceremony!
you two make a beautiful couple
MarathonVal — July 10, 2009 @ 9:11 am
Awww you looked gorgeous!!!!
Totally weird question – for some reason I always assumed Mal was European of some sort (British or Irish) – am I crazy? I think it’s a bit of how he looks, but mostly that he is always so smiley and cheerful – I feel like European men seem to do this more than American men!
Tina — July 10, 2009 @ 9:15 am
@MarathonVal: Mal’s mother was French, but he was born and raised in the US. He’s just a happy guy! He’s also super friendly– he’ll talk to anyone!
Shannon (The Daily Balance) — July 10, 2009 @ 9:18 am
GORGEOUS! Can’t wait to see the reception recap

Your wedding looks amazing. We had the same type of weather for ours only we were lucky enough to have AC inside. But outside was dreadful.
Congrats and Happy Anniversary!
