Wedding Fun

7 miles / 59:51 / 8:33 avg pace

Another weekend, another wedding!  Let’s start at the beginning…

FRIDAY
Matt and I drove to Baltimore on Friday afternoon.  The wedding was at the beautiful Marriott Waterfront Hotel.  The rehearsal dinner was that night and the bride and groom graciously opened up the event  to all guests at 9PM.  An open bar is the perfect way to recover from a 20-miler…thanks Amanda!

Baltimore at night.

The Bay Cafe.  Sand floors and plenty of cold Miller Lite!

Late-night pizza and shenanigans.

SATURDAY
I started off Saturday with an easy 4-miler on the treadmill at the hotel gym.  I wanted to sleep in but not deal with the heat so the treadmill was the only option.

We have been waiting for this wedding for a long time.  Amanda and Mike are the last of the Mains – my close group of friends – to get married.  Everyone was so excited for a weekend away (sans kids for many of them!).

Amanda and her dad walking down the aisle.  Doesn’t she look beautiful?

Look at that veil…

The new Mr. & Mrs.

The cocktail hour was outside on a rooftop deck overlooking the waterfront.  It was quite toasty but the perfect spot for a photo shoot.

Me and Matt.  I’m desperately trying not to squint.

Hello Mains!

…and a little later on in the night…

One more…

All the lady Mains rounded up for a picture.

Congratulations Amanda and Mike!  We had a fantastic time!

    What a gorgeous bride! I love the Baltimore Waterfront. If you saw anyone on a pirate cruise shooting a canon filled with water at you at any point, that may have been me. Glad you guys had fun!

    How many miles did Matt run? I am sure you didn’t bang into Jimmy in the gym. Great pictures and it looked like great fun.

      Oh please – Matt has retired from running!

      Jimmy and Sara were both at the gym before me, hammering out some major miles!

    Another fabulous wedding, and I agree, the Bride looked stunning. What a way to celebrate a 20-mile post run — at an open-bar. And, great job on getting your butt to the hotel gym treadmill. You are dedicated to this training plan!!!

    Thanks, I loved your pictures & saved them on my picture file on my computer. I especially love the one of her veil, no one else got that picture. It was wonderful seeing you at the wedding & I am so glad everyone had such a good time. <3 Ms. Deb
