Weekend Update - 12/17/2012

{cocktail hour at Mar-a-Lago}

Back from a long weekend in Florida for what I can honestly say was one of the most amazing weddings I've ever been to in my life (tied with the one in Italy this summer). Everything from the hotel (The Breakers Palm Beach), the wedding venue (Mar-a-Lago club), the music at the ceremony (Groom walked down to Bob Dylan's Shelter from The Storm, flower girls to I Want Candy, and back down the aisle to Pete Townshend's Let My Love Open The Door), and the food everywhere you turned...all incredible. Here are some pictures I took with my good camera. If you follow my instagram (@shanele), you know that I like to document pretty much every moment of my life or every bite that goes in my mouth so I put all of them from this weekend into a post earlier this morning here. Hope you all had a great weekend...8 days till Christmas!
