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!

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!

At the Bowling Alley!
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!
Enjoying our tea!
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!

Guess What!
I'm sitting next to Matt right now! Yes, it is just absolutely wonderful!
He flew in to Boston yesterday and I was able to pick him up, we headed down to the cape and are now just enjoying our time together!
Wedding stuff is going well, only 6 more days!

The Cape and Canada
Hey Friends!! I'm finally on the Cape finishing up wedding plans and getting excited for the big day. Less than a month away! AND I get to see Matt again in 18 days! I tell ya, those days can't go by fast enough.
I got to the Cape about a week ago after an incredible trip to Canada! I just had the best time up there. Our family is so blessed to have the cottage available to visit as a vacation spot. It is hard to describe how special that place is. I got to spend some time swimming and kayaking in the river, plus I was able to fish, didn't catch much, just a small bass one night, which was let go. I took walks along the railroad tracks (the train wasn't running this year, though I guess a bear was out and about somewhere, found that one out at the end of the week...), I went on some really great runs up in Gatineau Park, oh! and played some fun games of tennis with my Aunt! I love that the atmosphere up there lends itself to being able to do a lot of fun, active things, but also do a lot of restful things (reading, playing cards, and sunbathing were my favorites). Of all the places I've been able to visit in the world, that little place up in Canada is pretty high on my list of favorites!
After Canada was the drive down Boston, I stayed with my Nana and Papa, and took the test for my personal training certification. I'm happy to report that I passed with no problem and now am a NASM certified personal trainer! Yay! I now have a nationally recognized certification. Before I just had a certification for the facility I was training in. It feels good to be done with all the studying and anxiety of the big test.
After the test I drove down to the Cape and have been here for the past week. I have definitely gotten a lot of wedding related stuff done, and just have the small stuff to finish up. I've been been able to join the local gym for the month and have been having fun doing strength training, working on the cardio machines, and going to classes, plus I joined the women's tennis league. Today was my first day to play with the ladies, and man oh man was I nervous. I'm am not terribly skilled at the game, I've only just started to play and have had no formal lessons. I feel really bad because I actually look like I should be good... you know long arms, long legs, sort of athletic... then I play... and reality hits. Anyways, playing today was actually pretty fun, I played doubles and I was really afraid of making people mad, but the ladies I ended up with were so kind and patient, and I actually was able to make some pretty good shots. Of course I made some pretty terrible ones too (I'm still cringing about the ball that hit the lamp at the top of the dome, higher up than I care to elaborate on!). Alright, enough tennis antics, I am now inspired to go out and practice my serve.
Sorry for such a long update, hope I didn't bore you too much! Til next time!
