I’m gonna be totally honest here. I forgot to take pictures of food today. Why? Well, the hubs finally got home from another training camp/race and I kinda wanted to spend the day catching up with him. I missed that guy!
So instead, I thought I’d share a little What I Ate and What I Worked Wednesday
Kona Wedding Style.
Hard to believe it was three and a half years ago!
It’s pretty simple….We ate lots of cake, cupcakes, champagne, and coca cola???
My cake was white chocolate with apricot filling. The hubs loved his Lemon Cupcake and Chocolate Cupcake tier.
Ya, the hubs loves his classic coke in those cute little bottles.
I think he purposely dropped the cake down my dress! hmmmm…..
After a good feed, we WORKED it on the Dance floor.
A dip with the hubs and dance with my dad. Loved it!
I think I was thoroughly enjoying the spot light, or maybe it was the wine. hehe!
We saved the best for last, our dance.
I may not have had any workouts, food, or recipes posted here today, BUT at least it was a creative WIAW. Do I get points for that Jen?
Okay, now I really need to know….best thing you ate on this WIAW!?
Cheers,
LC
oh man, we love guinness stew with lamb! I bet that was GOOD! Last song was by sade- by your side. Lindsay ________________________________
I am SO glad that I saw this before Friday. OMG- your dress, STUNNING. I am in love with the back of it- I mean, the whole thing is gorgeous, but I love how intricate & delicate it is. PERFECT dress for a GORGEOUS bride 🙂
haha, the photographer was a good friend. He did a great job capturing our expressions. Loved it! Lindsay ________________________________
home is where the heart is, so I am sure it was a beautiful wedding with lots of friends/family! thanks for your kind words Allison. Lindsay CotterNutrition Manager & Fitness [email protected] www.cottercrunch.com ________________________________
Hi, I'm a new follower 🙂 I love that you did a destination wedding. I would have loved to do that, but staying close to home made sense for us. Thanks for sharing!
BEAUTIFUL PICTURES!!! What a dream wedding…the photographer captured some lovely moments, but the cake down your dress cracks me up!! 😉
yay! go safari. My husband loves coke post ride. But he like them flat, no fizz. He seriously had quite the obsession for a while. Good thing we've kind of weened him off now. Or rather, the cavities have. haha.
Hey! Look at this working when I use Safari! How fun to see you again—and the font is WAY better here, too. :)So, is there an inside joke on the coke?Best WIAW ever!
I love, love, love your wedding photos! What a beautiful bride you were! 🙂 Simply gorgeous.
White chocolate with APRICOT filling!! Um…yes PLEASE. I can't get enough of apricot flavor lately! Your wedding looks breathtaking. Gorgeous people, gorgeous setting and delicious food. We are using old mini coca cola bottles as decor in the garden this year from a friend who had a RIDICULOUS collection. I'm going to be painting them but right now it looks like I drank the entire factory. 🙂
hehe, yes, we loved the dancing. It was almost all Jimmy Buffet songs! Lindsay ________________________________
ahh, I almost went with raspberry filling, but apricot has a certian place in my heart. mmm, I wish I had a piece now! Lindsay ________________________________
and the coke bottles had little hawaiian lei's on the them. so cute! I've kept the bottles for decoration. Such a great memory! Lindsay ________________________________
James does too! But he like flat coke after rides, sometimes he mixes it with gatorade. ICK! Avocado rice sounds perfect! so glad you were able to comment. Lindsay ________________________________
it was special. I love remembering those moments. Lindsay ________________________________
There's nothing in this post that I DON'T love. Your cake, your dress, the whole vibe of the wedding! Beautiful photos, thanks for sharing 🙂
Great idea for a WIAW post Linds! Your cake sounds beyond incredible! I always love seeing pics from your wedding! You look gorgeous! And way to rock it on the dance floor chicka!
Congrats! Beautiful! And nothing like a daugher/father dance =)
HUGE creative points – I never get tired of seeing your wedding pictures. Sooo beautiful and serene!! D loves his Classic Coke, too – but only on long rides. I think he craves the carbonation and sugar rush 😉 Best thing I ate yesterday – Avocado rice, no doubt!
You're so beautiful! I love seeing pictures from your wedding!
you two look amazing! Your wedding dress is gorgeous and you look incredible! Love the coke bottles. It does kinda make it more special, eh? Definitely a fun and creative WIAW!
haha, yes. cocla and champagne. They go hand in hand, right? 😉 Lindsay ________________________________
i wish you could have been IN the wedding. If I had only known you then…… its fun to think about that. 🙂 Lindsay ________________________________
oh you made me giggle when you got in Coco Cola alongside champagne! Keeping things grounded 😀
I know, the cupcake tier makes me drool too. And I can still remember that taste, mmm mmm good! hehe. Lindsay ________________________________
I really wish I could have been at your wedding!! It looks like such a perfect time with a mix of tradition, fun, and a laid back time. You made such a stunning bride, Linds! Billy would have drank at least 3 of the coke bottles – he loves those, too. What a fun way to re-live the day. I could go for one of those lemon cupcakes right now.
I have so many things to say.1. You (well both of you but esp you) look absolutely stunning!! 2. My husband is the same way about that special bottle. I don't get it. His mom buys it when he visits. I cannot afford that indulgence haha.3. Your cake sounds divine! White chocolate cake and fruit preserves/filling is perfect! I had white chocolate and raspberry. Yummm!4. Spilling the cake 'accidentally' down your dress….nice job, Mr. Cotter! 5. Your husband has great taste in (cup)cakes! 🙂
Ohh my gosh. LOvveed this post. You two are sooo preshh. The coke picture is so cute, and the cupcake tier made me drool!
Gorgeous photos! You made such a beautiful bride! 🙂
oh gosh, we did have fun! my husband and I always wish we could do it again. Best party! hehe. But we bias of course.;) Lindsay ________________________________
haha, your man will come. and I'm sure you wedding will be AMAZING! with your fun personality and creativity…..wow, I can only imagine! Lindsay ________________________________
men are men, right? I still can't believe that got that on camera! Lindsay ________________________________
oh yes, kona is special. We lived there for a couple years too. My second home. Miss it! Lindsay ________________________________
oh man, we love guinness stew with lamb! I bet that was GOOD! Last song was by sade- by your side. Lindsay ________________________________
i love that last picture – you can totally see the love in both of your eyes! i also really like the fact that people seemed to have FUN at your wedding! you can totally judge a person by the company they keep and you seem to have been surrounded by a large group of beautifully happy and supportive friends/family! 🙂 hope your husband had a great training camp!
thank. you. Hope you got that massage!:) Lindsay ________________________________
oh now thats an award, especially given by you! Youre so sweet mariah, made my day!
Girl. Girl. Girl. Beautiful. Beautiful. You. That dress. Omg. Love the dress. The train. Amazing.
AWEEEE 🙂 LOVE this!! It was so nice to read about your wedding and all of the eats.. so cute 🙂 The best thing I ate yesterday was salmon with sweet potato fries 🙂
Oh lovely photos and post! What song was your last dance to though??? Best thing I ate…I made lamb stew with the hubby's homemade stout in it and it was darn good.
I can imagine the wedding and the location- I love Kona so much!! Thanks for sharing!!!
That is a more than a creative Wednesday!! Nice pictures and cupcakes :DHave a good time with Hubs!
Awwww Lindsay I love this post!!! =) You are so beautiful! And your cake sounds AMAZING. That picture where he 'accidentally' dropped the cake down your dress is hilarious haha.

You were a gorgeous bride, Lindsay! These photos are filled with so many happy memories! The love radiating between you two made the wedding truly beautiful. I have no doubt that you tore up the dance floor that night. Love it! :-p
Aww (and I'm a dude saying that!) I think coke in a bottle is like ketchup in a bottle- harder to find but totally worth it… Kind of like a true love, right?
So cute!! The cupcake tier is such a neat idea! Hope your wk is going well!Hugs!Katie : )
i love that we were on the same vibe today! i love the sleeves on your dress, so pretty and delicate! i think he dropped that on purpose too… boys. 😉
what a beautiful wedding and a gorgeous couple! 🙂 I love the creative WIAW version 🙂 So glad you two got some time together after being apart. I hope that you're able to enjoy much more despite the busy season! 🙂
The wedding pictures are beautiful!! You look amazing, but even more important than that is that you radiate joy and bliss! I especially love the picture of the dip with the husband with the beach in the background. It looks too perfect!The best thing I ate on this WIAW was sushi! I was craving it like mad and my mom just happened to be heading over towards my favorite sushi place. It was quite convenient 🙂
You are too sweet!!! Thank you for all your kind words and encouragement! Your wedding is one of the most beautiful ones I have ever seen…I absolutely love your dress and really…everything about it!
Awww I love your wedding pictures! You look soooo gorgeous, and I don't blame you for putting off taking pictures to spend time with the bhubs! Definitely way more important! 🙂
your wedding looks wonderful and you two looks so radiant and happy!!cutest married couple award goes to…….
What a beautiful wedding!I love seeing people's wedding photos. Kona would make a gorgeous backdrop, too. I actually posted about food today!
Aw, such beautiful wedding photos! You made one gorgeous bride!! I also slacked on the WIAW today:( but it's because I had a giveaway to start!!:) Yay! But my favorite thing I ate was my overnight oats…used my almost empty White Chocolate Wonderful PB jar, greek yogurt, bananas, oats (of course), chia seeds, milk, coconut, and then strawberries on top in the morning! Yum!

ooh thank you so much Emma. thats means more than you know! and guess what, these pictures are on the BIG ISLAND! where you will be soon! Lindsay ________________________________
Great post, Lindsay! I'd definitely give you creative WIWW points, that's for sure. 😉 I love the working it on the dance floor part. 😀 Today I worked my whole body with a quick four miles on the treadmill (we're back at a hotel on the last stop of our tour!) and then did a quick BodyRock workout (push ups, lunges, sumo squat, jumps, planks)…felt great! And what did I eat toady? A celebratory meal out: thai food in downtown Halifax to celebrate the fact that we have 1 screening left and then the http://wrongwaytohope.com tour is done… Crazy. So that was a fun thing to eat today. 😀 Again, great wedding pics – beautiful and meaningful by the looks of them. Enjoy time with your husband…glad you're both together again! That's the best part about being apart. 🙂
oh gosh, maybe we will be flying to your house for dessert! Sounds great. Lindsay ________________________________

oh and I love that flavor too! You gotta try it crumbled in greek yogurt! its like carrot cake cheese cakes! Lindsay ________________________________
oh i would have loved seeing wedding every weekend too. Kinda like a good chick flick but in real life. haha. and i am a sucker for cereal too, just so scrumptious! Lindsay ________________________________
you are too kind Kelsey. Yes, your wedding will be beyone gorgeous because of the love….. and thats all that matters.:) Lindsay ________________________________
BEAUTIFUL wedding pics!! <3 Those cupcakes look and sound deeelicious 🙂 I hope one day my wedding is half as gorgeous as yours looked!
I didn't miss any food, given the beautiful pictures you've posted above! (And you know I love your food!) You know what? That you forgot to take photos when you husband came back after a few days away from you, after 3 1/2 years of marriage, has totally made my day. I just need to know once in a while that stories like yours *do* happen. So good to know!
I love this! I'm a total sucker for weddings (I used to work at a country club where we had them every weekend). And you were an absolutely gorgeous bride.I kind of loved everything I ate today but the highlight was certainly the two bowls of shredded wheat I've had today. Cereal is my jam – I've been an addict lately!
You get points in my book! I love this! You look amazing!
What a beautiful wedding! You look so happy and gorgeous in these photos. Best thing I ate today–I tried a new Larabar, carrot cake flavor and it was fabulous!:)
I am fighting a flu so eating salad and chicken was pretty exciting!
Lindsay you and James are so cute!!! I love the wedding pictures — and everything from the cake to the cupcakes to the coca cola looks fabulous!
