Well, we did it!
We got our marriage license… but not until after I spilled a bottle of water in my purse and broke my digital camera. 🙁
I am still hoping it’ll come back to life…
I don’t want to dwell on my camera situation (I do still have an awesome Nikon D3000 that I can use), but I really, really hope my Canon PowerShot S90 revives itself soon. That baby was not cheap and I love it oh-so-much. Plus, its small size makes it much more convenient to tote around. Fingers crossed!
Aaanyway…
The marriage license process was a breeze! We were in and out of the courthouse and I was back to work in less than 30 minutes!
Both Ryan and I commented on how unbelievably easy it is to get a marriage license. I thought we’d have to fill out some intensive paperwork at the least, but really all we needed was proof of identification.
It was kinda crazy to see our names on a legal document together We’re gonna be legally bound together forev-ahhh in 30 days! 😀
Wedding Bands
Once I got off work, I swung by our apartment and picked up Ryan (and my other camera) and we headed to the jeweler to pick up our wedding bands.
Gosh, I love our bands!
Ryan and I both wanted to wear our wedding bands to dinner, but weren’t sure if that was bad luck. They’re sittin’ pretty in their jewelry box as we speak.
Dinner
Since we were already in Winter Park picking up our bands, we decided to stay in the area for dinner and dessert.
My only requirement was that we visit Menchie’s, an awesome frozen yogurt place, after dinner.
Ryan selected a dinner location that was right next door to the fro yo place.
After checking out the menu at the Green Lemon Cafe, the restaurant seemed to have a lot of delicious and healthy options, which appealed to both of us.
We decided to split a giant roast beef sandwich with a side of chips.
Ryan actually said that this sandwich would’ve been his perfect sandwich had the portion of meat been doubled. It really was delicious and we both commented on how much we loved the mustard they used. It was slightly spicy and full of flavor.
Dessert
After enjoying our meal outside, we headed over to Menchie’s to fill up on frozen yogurt for dessert.
Ryan and I each grabbed a cup and I filled mine up with many different flavors and loaded on the toppings.
My cup included a mix of pumpkin, red velvet cake, peanut butter and chocolate frozen yogurt and was topped with crushed Thin Mint cookies, toffee bits, cheesecake bits, crushed peanut butter cups, Cool Whip and butterscotch. 
I always knew I could hold my own when it comes to ice cream and fro yo, but I didn’t actually expect my cup to really stack up to Ryan’s. Buuuut when they weighed in our cups, our cups weighed exactly the same.
Since clearly Ryan and I are an even match when it comes to sweets, I didn’t object when he suggested heading over to Whole Foods to pick up one of their phenomenal oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and some goodies for the weekend.
I know this may be a bold statement, but these cookies may just be my all-time favorite cookies (aside from my grandma’s sugar cookies).
They’re huge, moist, full of chocolate chips and totally delicious.
I want another one.
Now my butt has finally hit the couch and I don’t anticipate moving for the rest of the evening. Ryan and I are both pretty pooped and we have a busy weekend ahead of us… including a special dinner tomorrow night.
See ya when the sun comes up! :D

Oh good lord…now you are making ME DROOL with that fro yo and that cookie. WOWWWW. 😯
Ok, now we’re even. 😉 lol
Have a great weekend girly!
What a sweet couple you two are =)
I can’t wait to try the Menchie’s that just opened near me…you just added fuel to that fire!!
Have a great night!
hey! i have been reading your blog for a few weeks, but never really comment.. But when i heard you got your camera wet i had to put in my 2 cents! this happened to me just a few weeks ago, all you have to do is remove the battery and memory card and put the camera into a bag of rice for as long as you can manage without using it (2 days usually does the trick) the rice will suck all the moisture out of the camera and have it working like new in no time!
hope this helps and thanks for all the healthy food inspiration you give me!
ooooh! i’m off to try this! thank you so much for the idea!!!
I was just about to RACE here and type this out too. RICE! Yes, do that. Hopefully it works for you Julie!!
I was just about to comment on the rice too. it works for cell phones. My friend dropped her blackberry in a pot of boiling water, two days in a bag of rice and it works good as new….hope it works for ya..
Your post made me remember how great a feeling it was to pick up our marriage license and now my husband and I have been married a year. Congrats on your upcoming wedding!
We’re headed to Orlando for a week in February to escape the brutal Wisconsin winter and we’ll have to head to Winter Park for Menchie’s.
oh fun!!! hope you like it!
That cookie looks AMAZING! I will have to search these out the next time I go to Whole Foods, because it looks like a small piece of heaven. Congrats on the wedding license and rings. So exciting!
We were at Menchie’s tonight, too!!! I was craving some pumpkin frozen yogurt and let my 3 year old enjoy the chocolate yogurt.
Congrats on the marriage license!! The big day will be here before you know it and you will seriously be blinding people with your new bling! STUNNING wedding set!!
Sweet rocks!
A night really doesn’t get much better than diamonds, cookies, and fro yo. SERIOUSLY.
So exciting! Your rings are gorgeous!
Green Lemon has amazing crepes.
i think we’re gonna go back to try ’em. they looked awesome!
Gorgeous bands! How exciting! Congrats.
I don’t remember getting my marriage license being that much fun. Regardless of that, I’m so happy it was an easy process for you guys. Must be a good sign for a effortless and happy marriage. 🙂
yeah i’ve heard horror stories of it lasting 3+ hrs! we felt very lucky that we were in & out in no time.
Beautiful rings! 🙂
I’m so excited for you that this is THE month. Is it crazy to say “oh I’m getting married this month”?
Enjoy your weekend and special dinner. 🙂
Congrats! 🙂 That is so so so exciting!!!! Are you getting married on Halloween by the way!?
And that sandwich looks yummy!!
the day before halloween! 🙂
Wow, that’s so exciting. Congratulations!!
I have a similar camera to that. It’s a Canon Powershot and those babies work like magic! They’re so easy to use. I also have a Canon Rebel XTi, but the Powershot is easier to take with me.
Congrats on the marriage license! 🙂 The wedding must seem like it’s just around the corner! 🙂
Congrats 😀 That cookie looks goooooddddd. I’m contemplating driving to WF after my long run tomorrow and getting that for my “post run snack.” Have a great weekend 🙂
Those cookies ARE the best.. totally have to agree with you there. And Whole Foods vegan blueberry muffins are like… one of my favorite foods on the planet. And I’m not Vegan. They’re just THAT good.
i also love how your hand is gently over top of his to show the wedding bands <3 thats beautiful, and some really nice bling uve got weighing down that delicate finger hehe. its no surprise uve put chocolate in this post too, nothing goes better with love <3
xoxo
congrats on the marriage license–it is crazy how easy it is to get… 🙂 hope your camera is ok!
That frozen yogurt bowl sounds amazing! =)
I love how you had just as much fro-yo as Ryan; that’a girl!
Congrats! Your bands are awesome! 🙂
Congratulations! Your rings are beautiful by the way.
What beautiful rings! I really love Ryan’s wedding band. I showed my boyfriend who happen to be sitting next to me and I rceived a big frown and a quick exasperated “What are you reading” haha. Love it
Congrats on the wedding license! Not so much on the bottle of wine. Being married is hands down the funnest thing in life. Congrats!
That fro-yo looks amazing. I really wish we had self-serve frozen yogurt around here!
Your wedding rings are so beautiful!
i got really concerned that there was an egg with a runny yolk on top of your frozen yogurt – really relived to see its cool whip and butterscotch. they seem much more fitting for dessert!
Reading how excited you made getting your marriage license, makes me really excited to get mine next month. So getting down to the last days unbelievable that this BIG day is almost here.
Thanks for the inspiration.
AH so exciting! Congratulations! That photo of your wedding rings is so beautiful.
holy lord woman that cookie is ginormous! It looks like a burger!
