This dressing is the YUMMIEST. I just picked it up today at Super Stop and Shop because as I was skittering down the salad dressing aisle my eyes were drawn to the product packaging. I am such a sucker for packaging. I’ll admit it. Give me a nice looking bottle and I’m sold. The good thing about most well-packaged products is that they do actually taste better. In my opinion. Or at least, my brain has convinced my taste buds to think that way.

Brinanna’s Home Style Dressing is for real DEEElicious.

I picked up some Rich Poppy Seed dressing and it’s phenomenally sweet and flavorful. I can’t wait to pack a salad for lunch tomorrow with butter lettuce, raspberries, grapes, sliced almonds, and especially this tasty topper. What a treat!

There are lots of other appealing flavors too… just check them out at your local grocer (Whole Foods excluded, which is surprising, but true).

Crazy good.

I am happy to report that my camera cord arrived in the mail this afternoon. This now means that I can post pictures about many different events that have occurred over the weeks since my old camera cord decided to go MIA on me. Yes, yes, many different events but MOST IMPORTANTLY….

Hannah and Todd’s WEDDING!!!!

What a celebration! What a ceremony!

This wedding was soooooo special. I truly believe it to be THE MOST touching wedding I have ever been to. I think in part it’s because Hannah and Todd have have such a history (10 years!), but mostly it’s just because Hannah and Todd are awesome people aaaand I simply just love their love.

Love it. Love it. Looove it.

Here are some of my favorite pics from the weekend in Maine…

The night of the rehearsal was super fun! We had drinks and dinner at a delicious restaurant in Yarmouth, ME. Also, this was the night of my birthday– and they surprised me with a cake!

The morning of the Big Day we went over to the site of the reception, which was held at a really cool old warehouse!! The room that the dinner and dancing took place in was so gorgeous, with exposed brick walls and windows looking out onto the harbor. Hannah did much of the planning herself, so the bridesmaids spent the morning putting all the details together and making the place look spectacular!

I love this picture from the night Todd proposed to Hannah!

Glad to have been there– it was glorious!

All set and ready to go!

Unfortunately I don’t have any pictures from the ceremony, because I was IN it, but it was so unique. SO personable and emotional. I had the happiest feeling inside the whole time.

There was a poem by e.e. cummings–

I carry your heart with me,

I carry it in my heart.

A heartfelt story about Hannah and Todd’s journey together.

And Hannah and Todd’s friend Maya played the piano, while another friend sang “You and Me” by the Dave Matthews Band (!).

They wrote their vows together and throughout the whole ceremony there were happy tears all around.

The ceremony was just SO “Hannah and Todd”. That’s the best way to describe it.

From the ceremony and pictures we headed to the party in style and the celebration began!… and a true celebration it was. Brickhouse girls were together again and the dancing and singing was out of control.
