Florida Wedding

So two weekends ago ( Yes, I am very behind on blogging) Thomas and I went to Ponte Verda, Florida for one of his family's best friend's wedding. It was gorgeous!! This is where the wedding was and where we were staying

It was so nice, which is not what I was first expecting when thinking of Florida, but this was actually like old Florida beach club so it was very cool. They had tennis, golf, the beach and it was this sweet little town.

It was also the first time I have ever really hung out with Thomas' family. And since he was in the wedding, I spent a lot of time with the fam. So here's the "Meet the Parents" moment of the weekend.

On Saturday we were all on the beach swimming and sunning when a little game of touch football was decided on. See his family is all very athletic and apparently plays football every holiday they are together.
So we split up in to teams of four. Thomas, me, his brother and his bro's wife versus Thomas' Mom, Dad, sister and sister's husband. The field was drawn in the sand with in zones and we were about to set up our plays (yes, serious game here).
This is when Charles, Thomas' brother in law, looks at me and says "Robin, we need to see if you can catch." He was on the opposing team and wanted to see if I was good. So Charles (who apparently used to play football) throws the ball from about 30-40 feet away and it goes up high and falls back down where I am with arms open ready to catch it.

Well due to the fact that I am tired from waking up at 3:45 am the previous day to get there, hungover and well just not athletic. The ball falls and hits me smack in the head.
Yes, knocked off my sunglasses and left me grabbing my face. Luckily, no blood or really bad bruising just TOTAL EMBARRASSMENT. They all ran over of course and I was so embarrassed I just wanted everyone to go back to normal!

Needless to say it is now quiet funny, but yes I was totally pushing back tears at the time.

Here's pic's from the rest of the weekend:

The wedding itself was awesome! They handed out glow sticks and sunglasses half way through the night... loved it.
Also, at the end of the night they had an ice cream bar :)
