Mark and Dunja got hitched!

Mark and Dunja finally got hitched!!! I work with both of them and have had the pleasure of watching this relationship from the beginning. Dunja works in the architect department and, at the time they met, I was working in the permitting dept. They asked Mark to come into the office (he builds the homes so he works "in the field") to help me because I was super busy.  So of course I decided that Mark needed a girlfriend stat! He already had his eye on Dunja I just badgered him on a daily basis to go ask her out! Her office was literally 10 feet away from mine! So it didn't take long!! Fast forward a year and a half later and Dunja was surprised by the gift she received from "Santa" that was cleverly placed on the train that ran around their Christmas tree. What a sweet proposal! This all culminated last Saturday night! The red themed wedding was absolutely gorgeous! I had to share some pics of the cute couple and their awesome bash! Let me set you up first. They had the ceremony and reception at a beautiful place way....way....waaaaaaayyyyyy out in the country. Rolling hills and hundred year old Oak trees surrounded us and the sunset was amazingly beautiful. Mark is from Panama and Dunja is from Croatia. That made it all the more fun (along with the open bar of course!).

This is what greeted us when we walked in! Gorgeous!!

Actually.....this is what greeted us on the way in. If you are from FL you are all too familiar with Banana Spiders. If you are not from FL, or the South for that matter, you would have crapped your pants walking past this bad boy (or girl?). They are GI-normous and everywhere.

Dunja looked stunning. Mark didn't look so bad himself....

The first dance. Look how happy they are. :)

Dinner time! Even for the spider inside the tent. See the moth on the right? Poor thing got stuck in the web. *shutter*


I didn't get any pictures of the after dinner party!!! Dang. Other people did though and if you are friends with me on FB you've seen the evidence! Congrats Mark and Dunja!!!! You will live happily ever after and I can just picture you both old and rocking together on a front porch swing with Sam Adams in hand. :):):)
