Arriving on Amelia Island

After a sweaty workout with my sister, Leslie, (we did my favorite jump rope circuit workout), we ate a quick breakfast and hit the road for Amelia Island with Ryan to celebrate the wedding of our friends, Will and Alex.

Will and Alex are getting married tomorrow and planned a whole weekend of wedding activities, beginning with a barbeque for family and friends today at noon.

When we arrived, we immediately loaded up on food!

I had a hot dog, potato salad and a ton of potato chips. I was feelin’ the salty food today!

I also had a vanilla cupcake and half of a chocolate cupcake that I split with Ryan.

The barbeque was a lot of fun and it was great to be reunited with friends from college that we haven’t seen in a long time!

One of my best friends, Merri, is in town for the wedding from New York with her boyfriend Pete.

So good to see these two! Ryan and I miss living right down the street from them so much.

Tonight’s wedding activities include a group dinner followed by a beach bonfire with s’mores. I can’t wait!

    Wedding celebrations are always so much fun. <3

      

  5. How fun! Have a great time :)

      

  6. So pretty! It is so amazing to me that you can have a barbeque outside in the middle of January. I have to admit… I’m kind of jealous :-)

    Amelia Island is a great place for a wedding! We went to one last year at Sandbar restaurant, and it was picture perfect. Exactly what a beach wedding should be!

      

  9. Oh WOW–sounds so much fun :) Have a blast with your friends!

      

  10. Meg says:

    Have a blast, Julie, sounds awesome :)

    Ameila Island is so beautiful! My parents looked into retiring there.. decided on west coast though.
    I love the beach bonfire idea, so fun! Hope you have a great time!

      

  12. I feel like every time I read about weddings, a new idea comes up that I wish I would have done too! What a great way to catch up with all your wedding guests before the craziness of the actual wedding takes place. Have fun at the dinner and bonfire!

      

  13. Kristi says:

    I love your outfit. I’d love to know where you got it from.
    The idea to have a barbecue/bonfire the day before the wedding is so fun! I’m going to have to remember that. (btw – I’ve never seen someone put lettuce on a hot dog haha – for some reason that stuck out to me)

      

  14. You’re outfit is super cute, and it looks like a great time! I love weddings!! :)

      

  15. What a cool tree house!

      

  16. I, too, LOVE your outfit! Perfect choice!

    And looks like you’re going to have one super fun weekend! Enjoy!!! :-)

      

  17. Kelly says:

    Have fun!!

      

  18. Alexis says:

    What a fun weekend! Love the BBQ and the bonfire the day before! Such a great idea!

      

  19. Love your scarf! :) Looks cozy & cute!

    Such a fun idea for day before wedding!

      

  20. Mmmmm — S’mores made at a bonfire are the best!! You should try dunking the marshmallow in Bailey’s right after it’s out of the fire, before assembling the s’more — it’s delicious!

      

  21. Erin says:

    where is your dress from?? SO cute

      

  22. beach bonfire and s’mores!?!? jealous!!!

      

  23. Khushboo says:

    What a blast! Have a great weekend :)

      

  24. Ok, just like everyone else, I love the outfits here… especially Leslie’s jacket with the ruffly collar!

      

  25. Allison says:

    Good friends together for a fun weekend- sounds like a blast! BTW, that tree house looks awesome!

      

  26. Annie says:

    um, my world just got significantly smaller! someone i worked with at a restaurant a few summers ago is ALSO at that same wedding. she posted a picture on fb almost identical to the first one you shared in this post! what a coincidence!

      

  27. I drop a comment each time I especially enjoy a post on a website or I
    have something to add to the discussion. It’s caused by the fire communicated in the post I browsed. And after this post Arriving on Amelia Island | Peanut Butter Fingers. I was actually moved enough to drop a thought ;-) I do have a couple of questions for you if it’s allright.

    Is it just me or does it give the impression like some of these responses appear like coming from
    brain dead people? :-P And, if you are writing on other social sites, I would like to keep up with you.
    Would you list the complete urls of all your social pages like your Facebook
    page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?
