My college friends had rented a house for the weekend and it was so great! There were 12 of us who shared the house and it was perfect for the weekend! We had a big kitchen and family room, pool and a bunch of space for us all. Thursday morning we got up and headed out to the pool and layed out and swam all day. The bride and groom were over as well and both cool as cucumbers!
That evening Annie and Ben hosted their rehearsal dinner; a sunset cruise on catamaran. It was beautiful and a great way to kick off the weekend! We had booze and food and enjoyed the amazing views! Afterwards we went out on Duval Street (which is the main street of bars and restaurants in Key West) and bar hopped our way to a restaurant/bar that Annie and Ben had rented out for an after party. It was so fun and really cool to see a new town!
Friday we headed to the beach in the morning and layed out, swam, played games, drank and relaxed all day long. Neil finally arrived that night as well! We had a few drinks at the hotel pool (literally, the best cocktails and drinks ever) and then went out to dinner. We came back to everyone hanging out at the house playing games and catching up.
Saturday was wedding day!! Neil and I started our morning on the beach and then headed back to the pool at the house to relax before the celebration! The wedding itself was amazing! Annie and Ben were married on the beach, right outside of the Southernmost Hotel shortly before sunset. It was so beautiful and words can't even describe how amazing Annie looked! Ben's dad and close family friend married them, so the ceremony was so personal and special. Truly amazing.
After the ceremony we went over to the tent for drinks, food and dancing! Time flew and before we knew it it was time to head to the "after party" at a bar on Duval St. near our house and the hotel.
Oh, and this was the last text I sent for the night. Obviously, it was a great time :)
The next day Neil and I got up bright and early and made the ROUGH trip back to Ft. Lauderdale where I flew out. Neil is staying in Florida for a few days to see his grandparents. After I arrived in Chicago, I went to pick up Clark and Mr. Berman invited me to dinner so he and I were able to recap the wedding and Clark's weekend as well.
Congratulations to Annie and Ben and thank you for arranging an amazing vacation for us :) Love to you both!
