Hanging out in Plymouth

After the wedding we spent some time hanging out at the local beach and wandering around Plymouth. I don't know how we got so lucky with the weather but it was sunny and pretty hot all week. I'd never been to Plymouth before and it was quite lovely being by the sea for a while. Here's a sampling of the delights of Plymouth, including some American history!

Langdon Court - The reception location and hotel
Some brave post wedding swimmers - including the groom!
Not a bad view for a Sunday morning

I see Plymouth gin everywhere now - including Oklahoma!

A British Wedding (only almost 4 months late...)

Well here are a few pictures from my brother & Jenna's wedding at last! They are a combination of our pictures (minimal) and photos from my parents phones. The official photos are much better but I won't be sharing those obviously and there aren't any from the actual ceremony!

Confetti was everywhere
We look better in black and white!

Thinking about our wedding next year!
