Other People’s Weddings - Amelia Island

We went down to Amelia Island this weekend for the wedding of our friend, Aaron and Kristy. Weather was great. Friends were great. Wedding was great.

There was a beachside restaurant that we went to during our stay. They had something fun on the menu that you don’t see everyday. Fried Pickles. They brought a huge basket of them to the table. We liked them, but probably ate only at 4-5 a piece.

The rehearsal dinner was a bbq. I don’t eat pork, but the chicken was amazing. The sides were good too. The bbq caterers were old guys who called me “honey” and wanted to know if I wanted more. Cute.

The wedding was out at a place called the Ribault Club. Very pretty, but remote. If you ever go make sure you have a designated driver.

Afterward, a bunch of us went to this dive bar where I really think the patrons had been there for the last 30 years. This is a place were they sold $5.50 pitchers and the smell of Marlboro Reds hung heavy. It was an odd place, but I am always up for a party after the wedding where ever that might be.
