ReplyDeleteITA, you are a hottie #6!
DeleteGreat set of photos! #3, you make me want to pack up and head north ASAP. We only make it to NC once a year, but spend most of our time hiking on the AT...I miss it SO MUCH the other 50 stupid weeks we live in Florida. :/

Hi Sunny,
DeleteLovely to put a face to a name. You're beautiful, is that Florence?
All the readers are lovely x
@Sunny - your name fits you perfectly! :) Where, exactly, are you in the pic? Looks like Venezia, yeah?
ReplyDeleteSunny you are so so pretty miss!!! :)
ReplyDeleteSunny, you're quite a cutie.
ReplyDeleteThanks again for the lovely comments! Everyone in the photos look fabulous.
ReplyDeleteFantastic job melanie! You look fabulous :)
DeleteThank you, Amber, Smash and JBE!
ReplyDeleteThat is the Ponte Vechhio in Florence, one of my favorite cities in the world. One day I would love to live in a villa over there. A girl can dream!!
Hi Sunny!! You are as beautiful on the outside as you are inside!
ReplyDeleteCongrats Melanie, that's awesome.
#13 you should out yourself sir, I think we are collectively swooning over you.
Everyone looks wonderful!
Oops *Vecchio*
ReplyDeleteThank you RCB! You're my girl xo
@Sunny - Dangit! I was close! I was there 11 years ago. Worked my way up Rome, Florence, Venice & Milan (with Siena and Tuscany in between). Florence was by far my favorite. :)
ReplyDeleteReaders #3 and 5, no fair with the darling munchkins, tugging my heart strings today for sure!
ReplyDelete#3 is me :) Family cabin in the Uintah's...
ReplyDeleteWonderful pics!!! Sunny, you are too cute!
ReplyDeleteThis set of photos are terrifically AWESOME!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am in there today:) Yaaa!!!
I didn't snag the top spot but Sunny girl you deserve it - your so pretty!!!! Italy can't be beat!!!
#8 where is this pic taken?
ReplyDeleteThank you Roman, Curly, Lisa B and E Gee Bee!! I feel so at home in Italy. I have to convince my FIL on a weekly basis that I'm not from there - I'm a hand talker
ReplyDelete@Amber - I have hit all those same spots, in addition to Cinque Terre and Lucca. Lucca is also very special to me, because I saw an opera performance there in an old church and realized every time the Alto hit a certain note it made me cry. I finally had my Pretty Woman moment :)
@Lisa B
I don't think I harassed you into sending a photo until at least a week after I did. It may be a while, but I'll be on the lookout :)
@Roman
I know which one YOU are, but if you're not going to out yourself, I won't either
Ohhhh, I'm headed to Italy in September and will be visiting Cinque Terre and Lucca! I'm so excited, Lucca sounds magical!
DeleteOooh! Go to Corneglia!
DeleteOooh! Go to Corneglia!
Deletedem twins!! i'm totally on boat with everyone on the last pic, i'll wait in line lol!
ReplyDelete@ Sunny you're the best!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh boy! You people just keep bringing the hotness!
ReplyDelete@Curly
ReplyDeleteOh, September is the BEST time to go! We stayed in Vernazza (in Cinque Terra) and it was the only place we had to wing it for accomodations. We wound up renting a room from a shop owner (great experience). Are you able to rent a place ahead of time? (Make sure you pack shoes to "hike" in)
Rent bikes in Lucca if possible, and try to see a concert at this church

(I was a travel agent for ages. Not trying to be super bossy xo)
I love these pictures! Always beautiful and interesting people!
ReplyDeleteSunny, be bossy! Especially when you know best or have good knowledge. My "other" name is boss lady Erin, cause I love to boss people into better vacations, campsites, restuarant choices, etc. I love a true bossy recommendation!
ReplyDeleteThat's me with dem twins - my pride & joy 24/7!! I honored to be included with all these wonderful CND readers! Happy Holidays to all of you & to you, Enty!
ReplyDelete*CDaN readers!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos and so happy they're being claimed!
ReplyDelete@Sunny you're so cute! I thought you were brunette but sunshine blonde suits you too
Hi number 13 *call me sign*
Oh, and well done Melanie on losing all that weight, I've put on about two stone in the last few years (too much wine me thinks), however I'm 5 ft 9, so didn't notice it creeping on, any tips? X
ReplyDeleteYou guys all look so great!! Love all the readers with the pics around the world!
ReplyDeleteMelanie, congratulations on losing weight, I admire your determination, that's awesome!!
#7 your dress is gorgeous and I love that you didn't pick a sleeveless dress. Only a very certain type of body look good in them (you probably would be one that looked good) but EVERYONE gets one now, to the point of being cliche, and 99.9999% of them look awful.
ReplyDeleteEver notice on those Say Yes to the Dress shows, pretty much every dress they pull for a bride to pick from is sleeveless, like that is all that exists. Horrible. Anyway, sorry to ramble, you look fabulous.
@Sunny, I appreciate the tips! :) We're going with another couple, and she is super planner (thankfully-because I'm not!) and has taken care of booking all the rooms,etc. We were supposed to go in April, but had to push it back to September. Everyone has been very accommodating, she's even scored free bike rental in Lucca! Will definitely try to see a concert at the church, thanks for the link! :)
ReplyDeleteSorry to hijack the thread, but if anyone has any tips/must sees for Munich, I'd appreciate any input!
@Vicki E
ReplyDeleteYes! That is Florence, and you are right about the hair. I am naturally brunette, have had blond highlights since I was 16, but went back closer to my natural color within the last year. I love it!
thank you everyone for the nice comments :)
ReplyDelete@Jessica -- thanks!! yes, I was slightly obsessed with my dress. I am from the South and wanted a dress that my future daughters (if we have any!) would be able to wear...something classic. I also needed a dress that my grandmother would approve of. It's a Priscilla of Boston...they're out of business now, but were once a big name for girls in the South.
I can attest that we are real people and not on pinterest at all!! thanks though...being on pinterest would be pretty fun!
@Vicki E,
ReplyDeleteI started watching what I eat and running a couple times a week. I don't deny myself food I want, but I use portion control. The running has really helped with the weight loss, it was hard going at first, but now I'm addicted. You can lose the weight!
Thank you, I'll try running again, I have heaps of stamina walking and swimming, but really struggle running x
DeleteNumber 13...... You are amazing
ReplyDeleteNumber 13...... You are amazing
