Matt and Tess's wedding weekend (our trip to Victoria)


Well my birthday came and went. On Monday I turned 26 years old. Although the age difference didn't really change anything, I feel extremely old. I blame that more on parenthood and married life ;).
So on Thursday May 10th, Mike and I dropped Moo off at the Munro's and headed for the Tsawwassen ferry terminal. We luckily caught the 10am. We arrived at Trenna and Mal's place later that morning after having some lunch and picking up Mike's tuxedo. Thursday was really the only day that Mike and I were able to spend together. We walked around and I did some shopping, and we went to the Old Spaghetti Factory. We also managed to go see the Titanic Exhibit at the Natural History Museum. The exhibit was alright, but I did enjoy the rest of the Museum. I hadn't seen it in a very long time, more than 10 years. We later ended up at Darcy's Pub where we drank and I ate an amazing pineapple/carrot cake with cream cheese icing. We came home late and sat up talking to Mal waiting for Trenna to come home from work. Friday May 11th, we met up with the boys for breakfast, Sarah and Trenna were there too. I have never seen so much food in my life. Matt left to do his groom duties, and so Trenna, Sarah, Adam, Kieran, Mike and myself went on to face the day. We ended up at the Wax Museum which was interesting, but not as impressive as I thought it once was. After, Mike and Kieran went to pick up Jay; Sarah and Adam went to walk Otter and Trenna and I went walking...a lot of walking. We went to the Bug Zoo and I was horrified. We also just walked allover downtown and I went shopping. Spent a little too much money. Oh well. At this time Mike was at a wedding rehersal. We met up after and headed to Milestone's for the rehersal dinner. We sat with Brannen, Amanda, Spage, Adam and Sarah. I think we all pretty much drank from Bellini fish bowls, and were all frozen for the rest of the night. That night we hung out with Trenna and Mal again. Saturday May 12th, Trenna, Mike and I all met up with their aunt Bev at the Cook St. Village Starbucks. After coffee Bev drove us around her old neighborhood and along the water. It's so beautiful there! With every day I spent there the more I want to move! Mike and I parted ways and he went off to get ready for the wedding and to relax with Matt, I went back the Trenna's and got ready. The wedding was beautiful. It took place at St. Anne's Academy. Matt looked handsome, and Tess looked beautiful. The reception was awesome. We all drank and ate...some dancing too. This time I elbowed Kieran in the face. Oh, how the tables have turned. After the reception Kieran, Jay, Mike and I went to the Sticky Wicket for more drinks. Jay and I ended up on the dance floor, which was the scariest place to be. I think we were the youngest women there. It was horrifying. Haha. Sunday May 13th (Mother's Day) Mike and I didn't get much sleep, and I felt like death but we got dressed and headed over to the community centre for a wedding related brunch. After eating and drinking I needed to go home. Mike and I slept for a couple of hours. Trenna and I walked downtown again and then when we got back we all left for the ferry's. Since we took the later ferry because Trenna and Mal came with us, we ended up staying at Mike's parents place that night. Monday May 14th (my birthday), we woke up at 6am, and I got to hug Moo, who I missed soo much!! I didn't get to see her at all Mother's Day. So the three of us left very early, because we had a 9:30am appointment. So my birthday was spent in transit, and the later in bed because I was so tired!! I later made myself some delicious stirfry and watched a movie.
Well, Heather is going crazy and the cheerios aren't entertaining her anymore! I have a cake, chili and cornmeal muffins to make. Tonight I'm celebrating my birthday with my family! Starting this Friday, the three of us will be house sitting for my mum. Woo.
