The wedding last night was AMAZING! I mean, check out their church:

SO epic. The Washington National Cathedral is insanely beautiful and SO big! I felt like I was back in Prague looking at the Prague Castle or something.

Love it. Here I am with my handsome blue-eyed date :)

Matt and I wandered around the outside of the cathedral before the ceremony exploring, and while we were on the side of the building near a back entrance, a nice car pulled up – and look who got out!

013

The bride! Isn’t Hilary beautiful? :) We were the first ones to see her – I loved the sneak peak!

The inside of the church was beautiful, too. Since it was in the National Cathedral, there were a ton of random tourists gawking during the wedding, hehe.

Congrats again Hilary and Brent! Wishing you a lifetime of happiness together :)

The beautiful weather continued into today!

This morning, I headed into Georgetown to meet up up with fellow healthy living blogger Theodora and her friend Tamsin for a running date :)

025

Aren’t Tamsin’s bright yellow sunglasses the most awesome things ever? I want.

Theodora lives in NYC and is town visiting friends this weekend. It was wonderful meeting her as we’ve been email/Twitter buddies for awhile now :) Her story is very inspiring – she’s lost 50 pounds over the past couple years!

She said she was tired of being unhappy and uncomfortable with herself, so she decided it was time to make a change. I am so impressed with how far she’s come – now she’s training for her first marathon!

Theodora had to run 10 miles today, so Tamsin ran the first 3 with us, I stayed on for another 3 (we ran the 6 miles in just under an hour), and then Theodora finished the last 4 on her own. It was a great run and fun chatting with both of them :)

I heart Georgetown.

027

And now I’m off to a friend’s for place dinner! I’m in charge of an appetizer – I’m thinking my Hummus Guacamole:)

Enjoy the rest of your weekends, friends!

      Holy, VIP – how do you snag the national cathedral for your *wedding*?! Impressive. ;) And gorgeous.

    19. Kiera E says:

      Fun fact about the National Cathedral! One of the grotesques (those carvings at that top of the towers) is a replica of Darth Vader’s head! The church did a contest for kids to design one of the carvings during some construction and that was the winning design! awesome.

      also, there is a seriously great reenactment by cathedral staff of the Easter litany done with peeps!
