Page Updates

No, I haven't made our page all cute and colorful, that would require creativity, which would just serve to stress me out!!

BUT... There have been a few adjustments. I added a link to "Heather's Photo Gallery" on the right hand side, it is just under "Matt's Photo's". I have started putting my photo's into Picasa, and if you click on the link it will direct you to my photo albums; then if you click on the album, it will open up all the pic's having to do with that album! Basically you'll find my photos from the past and the present; and I will continue to add pics occasionally. If your interested take a look!

Oh and I should note...any pics you see that might be considered a good photo were not taken by me, I have zero photography skills, I am blessed though with a husband and some family/friends who do take great photos!

The Scientific Method

Hypothesis: Some folks in the postal system get a kick out of mishandling packages marked "fragile"

Prediction: Yes. Most definitely yes.

Experiment: 4 separate items mailed to our address in 4 separate boxes. 3 boxes with no informative markings/1 box marked fragile.

Data: All boxes arrived together, no visible damage to the 3 boxes with no markings, box marked "fragile" had 2 corners crushed in and a large hole punched into one side.

Truth: Some folks in the postal system get a kick out of mishandling packages marked "fragile"

The Honeymoon!

Matt set up a trip to Switzerland for the honeymoon! He found us a little chalet in the middle of the alps, it was perfect! The weather was beautiful and we had a great time touring around the mountains. We were able to get a look at the Matterhorn, which was amazing!


We took a drive around Lake Geneva one day, it ended up that we crossed the border into France at one point and Matt found this really cute historic town (thanks Google Earth!) that we stopped in for some lunch and crepes. We actually spent so much time walking around this town that we didn't have time to stop in Geneva like we originally planned, basically we just drove through it on our route around the lake (it was a pretty big lake!).


What a great way to spend our honeymoon! It was fun to be with each other and look forward to starting our lives together!


Here are some pics from the trip!

The Big Wedding Post!!

Brace yourselves my friends for information overload! I just updated the blog here with a wedding post and all the events leading up to the wedding! I hope you enjoy reading through and looking at all the pictures of this amazing time in Matt and I's life!

The Wedding

The wedding was just fantastic! I was SO EXCITED to become Mrs. Angliss! Matt is so handsome and just the most wonderful groom! I love him!

Everything seemed to go off without a hitch and it looked like everyone was really enjoying themselves, which was wonderful to see! What a special time to enjoy with all our family and friends. Of course we didn't feel like we were able to spend enough time with our loved ones, but I guess that is how weddings go sometimes!

As for wedding pics... they are now available online to view. If you would like to see them just shoot me a quick email at heatherangliss@gmail.com and I'll send you the link along with the event key! Enjoy!

Rehearsal and Dinner

The rehearsal the evening before the wedding went off just great; and we were all so excited to head over the the Lobster Claw to enjoy the Lobster and Steak feast Bill and Susanne (Matt's Parents) had organized for us!

What a great night to celebrate with Family and Friends! It was a great chance for both sides of our families to get together, Susanne mixed it up so well at the tables that everyone was able to have lively conversations and enjoy meeting each other.

Along with the rehearsal dinner we also celebrated my 30th Birthday! I know-great way to just let that one just slide by without much fuss! Check out the pic below of the fun bride birthday cake!

Here we are at the church practicing for the big day!

Enjoying the yummy Lobster!

The Guy's Time

Thanks to Hurricane Kyle churning around off the shores of New England the guy's plan to head to Pleasant Bay and do some sailing was changed to meeting up for lunch and bowling!
I think the most important thing was the time that they got to spend together! I was jealous when I found out they were getting to have lunch at the "Land Ho" in Orleans. The food there is so good and the atmosphere is just calm and relaxed. Afterwards I think some of the guys realized that candlestick bowling isn't as easy as it looks!

The Bridesmaid's Tea

I was able to hold a Bridesmaid's Tea a few days before the wedding. The bridesmaid's, flower girl's, and I got the chance to get together at a really cute little inn in Chatham. We had tea and assorted treats in their cute little tea room then moved out to the lawn for some croquet!

Thank you so much ladies for helping to make this whole wedding experience just incredibly fun! I love that we can now share all these memories we made together!

Some truly authentic English treats!
Croquet Fun!

Massachusetts Bridal Shower

Thank you Erica, Julie, Auntie Annie, Auntie Karen, and Nana for each helping to put together such a fun shower!!

This shower was held in a really cute little restaurant called the Irish Ale House, the food was incredible! The best part was getting the chance to see and catch up with many of the ladies in the family, we had a great time just visiting with each other! What a blessing.


Here are some pics!
