Wedding WIAW

I’m gonna be totally honest here. I forgot to take pictures of food today. Why? Well, the hubs finally got home from another training camp/race and I kinda wanted to spend the day catching up with him. I missed that guy!

So instead, I thought I’d share a little What I Ate and What I Worked Wednesday

Kona Wedding Style.

0296
Hard to believe it was three and a half years ago!
untitled
It’s pretty simple….We ate lots of cake, cupcakes, champagne, and coca cola???
1248
07510777
My cake was white chocolate with apricot filling. The hubs loved his Lemon Cupcake and Chocolate Cupcake tier.
0779
Ya, the hubs loves his classic coke in those cute little bottles.
0811
I think he purposely dropped the cake down my dress! hmmmm…..
1242
After a good feed, we WORKED it on the Dance floor.
1426
1283
A dip with the hubs and dance with my dad. Loved it!
12151264
I think I was thoroughly enjoying the spot light, or maybe it was the wine. hehe!
0955
We saved the best for last, our dance.
0905
I may not have had any workouts, food, or recipes posted here today, BUT at least it was a creative WIAW. Do I get points for that Jen?
Winking smile

Okay, now I really need to know….best thing you ate on this WIAW!?

Cheers,
LC

 Awwwww!! I love these pictures, you two look SO BEAUTIFUL and SO IN LOVE!! That is the best thing ever. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful memory with us. Made my day. Truly. 

Hmm...best thing I ate so far today? A super-delicious salad made by the hubs (he surprised me and made it last night while I was at barre) complete with black beans and lots of fresh veggies. The fact that he made it for me made it taste even better :) 

lindsay cotter said...

You two are such an inspirational couple and I love you two! Oh, and you guys have the BEST choice in cake!! :D

Best thing I ate? Lots of nut butter hehe! AND a Marmite and apple sandwich that was pretty awesome:)

Hope you're having/had a good day with James too. The best thing I ate today was fresh strawberries with coconut cream and some crumbled meringue - heaven! 

Natalie O said...

Holly said...

Lindsay you and James are so cute!!! I love the wedding pictures -- and everything from the cake to the cupcakes to the coca cola looks fabulous!

Tracy Simmons said...

I am fighting a flu so eating salad and chicken was pretty exciting!

Vanessa @ Gourmet Runner said...

 What a beautiful wedding! You look so happy and gorgeous in these photos. 
Best thing I ate today--I tried a new Larabar, carrot cake flavor and it was fabulous!
:)

Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) said...

 You get points in my book! I love this! You look amazing!

Susan said...

I love this! I'm a total sucker for weddings (I used to work at a country club where we had them every weekend). And you were an absolutely gorgeous bride.

I kind of loved everything I ate today but the highlight was certainly the two bowls of shredded wheat I've had today. Cereal is my jam - I've been an addict lately! 

Kath (My Funny Little Life) said...

I didn't miss any food, given the beautiful pictures you've posted above! (And you know I love your food!) You know what? That you forgot to take photos when you husband came back after a few days away from you, after 3 1/2 years of marriage, has totally made my day. I just need to know once in a while that stories like yours *do* happen. So good to know!

Kelsey@LivetheFitLife said...

BEAUTIFUL wedding pics!! <3  Those cupcakes look and sound deeelicious :)  I hope one day my wedding is half as gorgeous as yours looked! 

lindsay cotter said...

you are too kind Kelsey. Yes, your wedding will be beyone gorgeous because
of the love..... and thats all that matters.
:)

Bonnie Lang said...

Great post, Lindsay! I'd definitely give you creative WIWW points, that's for sure. ;) I love the working it on the dance floor part. :D Today I worked my whole body with a quick four miles on the treadmill (we're back at a hotel on the last stop of our tour!) and then did a quick BodyRock workout (push ups, lunges, sumo squat, jumps, planks)...felt great! And what did I eat toady? A celebratory meal out: thai food in downtown Halifax to celebrate the fact that we have 1 screening left and then the http://wrongwaytohope.com tour is done... Crazy. So that was a fun thing to eat today. :D

Again, great wedding pics - beautiful and meaningful by the looks of them. Enjoy time with your husband...glad you're both together again! That's the best part about being apart. :)
 

lindsay cotter said...

ooh thank you so much Emma. thats means more than you know! and guess what,
these pictures are on the BIG ISLAND! where you will be soon!

Aw, such beautiful wedding photos! You made one gorgeous bride!! I also slacked on the WIAW today:( but it's because I had a giveaway to start!!:) Yay! But my favorite thing I ate was my overnight oats...used my almost empty White Chocolate Wonderful PB jar, greek yogurt, bananas, oats (of course), chia seeds, milk, coconut, and then strawberries on top in the morning! Yum!

Raina @ Small Town Runner said...

What a beautiful wedding!

I love seeing people's wedding photos. Kona would make a gorgeous backdrop, too.



I actually posted about food today!

Meghan Smith said...

You are too sweet!!! Thank you for all your kind words and encouragement! Your wedding is one of the most beautiful ones I have ever seen...I absolutely love your dress and really...everything about it!

Tara said...

The wedding pictures are beautiful!! You look amazing, but even more important than that is that you radiate joy and bliss! I especially love the picture of the dip with the husband with the beach in the background. It looks too perfect!
The best thing I ate on this WIAW was sushi! I was craving it like mad and my mom just happened to be heading over towards my favorite sushi place. It was quite convenient :)

Jenny Houlahan said...

 what a beautiful wedding and a gorgeous couple! :) I love the creative WIAW version :) So glad you two got some time together after being apart. I hope that you're able to enjoy much more despite the busy season! :)

Holley Theodore said...

 i love that we were on the same vibe today! i love the sleeves on your dress, so pretty and delicate! i think he dropped that on purpose too... boys. ;)

klh said...

So cute!!  The cupcake tier is such a neat idea!  Hope your wk is going well!
Hugs!
Katie : ) 

chuck feerick said...

 Aww (and I'm a dude saying that!)  I think coke in a bottle is like ketchup in a bottle- harder to find but totally worth it... Kind of like a true love, right?

Sara @ Nourish and Flourish said...

You were a gorgeous bride, Lindsay! These photos are filled with so many happy memories! The love radiating between you two made the wedding truly beautiful. 

I have no doubt that you tore up the dance floor that night. Love it! :-p 

lindsay cotter said...

oh thank you Tara. That means a lot! And yes, I would have totally crashed that
sushi date. I crave it all the time too!

Brittany said...

 Ohh my gosh. LOvveed this post. You two are sooo preshh. The coke picture is so cute, and the cupcake tier made me drool!

Oliepants said...

 I have so many things to say.

1.  You (well both of you but esp you) look absolutely stunning!!  
2.  My husband is the same way about that special bottle.  I don't get it.  His mom buys it when he visits.  I cannot afford that indulgence haha.
3.  Your cake sounds divine!  White chocolate cake and fruit preserves/filling is perfect!  I had white chocolate and raspberry.  Yummm!
4.  Spilling the cake 'accidentally' down your dress....nice job, Mr. Cotter! 
5.  Your husband has great taste in (cup)cakes! :)

Dorry said...

I really wish I could have been at your wedding!! It looks like such a perfect time with a mix of tradition, fun, and a laid back time. You made such a stunning bride, Linds! Billy would have drank at least 3 of the coke bottles - he loves those, too. What a fun way to re-live the day. I could go for one of those lemon cupcakes right now.

lindsay cotter said...

I know, the cupcake tier makes me drool too. And I can still remember that
taste, mmm mmm good! hehe.

(what runs) Lori said...

You're so beautiful! I love seeing pictures from your wedding!

Heather @ Dietitian on the Run said...

HUGE creative points - I never get tired of seeing your wedding pictures. Sooo beautiful and serene!! D loves his Classic Coke, too - but only on long rides. I think he craves the carbonation and sugar rush ;) 

Best thing I ate yesterday - Avocado rice, no doubt!

snorment said...

Congrats!  Beautiful!  And nothing like a daugher/father dance =) 

Kissmybroccoli said...

 Great idea for a WIAW post Linds! Your cake sounds beyond incredible! I always love seeing pics from your wedding! You look gorgeous! And way to rock it on the dance floor chicka! 

Amber Shea @Almost Vegan said...

 There's nothing in this post that I DON'T love. Your cake, your dress, the whole vibe of the wedding!  Beautiful photos, thanks for sharing :)

lindsay cotter said...

it was special. I love remembering those moments.

gatorade. ICK! Avocado rice sounds perfect! so glad you were able to comment.

Stephanie said...

White chocolate with APRICOT filling!!  Um...yes PLEASE.  I can't get enough of apricot flavor lately!  Your wedding looks breathtaking.  Gorgeous people, gorgeous setting and delicious food.  We are using old mini coca cola bottles as decor in the garden this year from a friend who had a RIDICULOUS collection.  I'm going to be painting them but right now it looks like I drank the entire factory. :)

Katy said...

 I love, love, love your wedding photos! What a beautiful bride you were! :) Simply gorgeous.

S @ Extremebalance.net/blog said...

 Hey! Look at this working when I use Safari! How fun to see you again---and the font is WAY better here, too. :)

So, is there an inside joke on the coke?

Best WIAW ever!

lindsay cotter said...

yay! go safari. My husband loves coke post ride. But he like them flat, no fizz. He seriously had quite the obsession for a while. Good thing we've kind of weened him off now. Or rather, the cavities have. haha.

Blonde Ponytail said...

BEAUTIFUL PICTURES!!!  What a dream wedding...the photographer captured some lovely moments, but the cake down your dress cracks me up!! ;) 

Allison Kenien said...

 Hi, I'm a new follower :-) I love that you did a destination wedding. I would have loved to do that, but staying close to home made sense for us. Thanks for sharing!

lindsay cotter said...

home is where the heart is, so I am sure it was a beautiful wedding with lots of
friends/family! thanks for your kind words Allison.
