The Bachelorette Recap - Night 1 Andi

It’s that time of year again! You can bet that I was sitting in front of the TV last night at 9:25 waiting for The Bachelorette to come on at 9:30!

The bachelorette this season is a fan favorite, Andi Dorfman. She is a southern girl from Atlanta, GA and is famous for telling Juan Pablo off last season and leaving after being in the top 3.

She seemed beyond excited last night to be paraded with 25 new men to find a husband in.

First out the car was Marcus, and 25 year old from Texas who Andi describe as HOT!

Next came Chris from Iowa. I didn’t at first like this guy, but after they sat down and had a chance to talk, I really liked him! I already told my friend Bri that if it doesn’t work out for him and Andi, I would try to creep on him and get her a date since she lives in Iowa J

There must be something about Andi liking guys from California, because she was no short of Cali boys. JJ, who was her first pick during the rose ceremony, got out of the car wearing a bowtie and seemed a bit goofy to me. In his first 30 seconds of meeting Andi, he told her “that he hopes she has a noble quest to find true love”… apparently this guy was a knight in his past life and the bowtie is just an updated version of his tin armor.

Next came Tasos who made a great first impression on Andi, but unfortunately didn’t get the first impression rose. He talked about traveling and how he wanted to go to some bridge in Paris where you leave a lock with your lover. So he came prepared and brought a lock with him! They walked behind the fountain that sits right in the front of the house and attached the lock on the rod iron gate behind it. Cute first start I guess, but I’m sure after everyone went inside, the lock was cut off the gate!

Cody, who happens to be a personal trainer, pushed the limo full of men up the hill to meet Andi. He is from IL, but looks like he should be from Cali with his beach blonde hair and ripped body!

Rudie the attorney unfortunately didn’t make it through the rose ceremony and was a bit creepy when it came to his one on one with the camera at the end. He said, “Everyone in my life said oh my god, you’re going to get married and have kids. But I guess she doesn’t feel the same way. I mean I guess she just wasn’t attracted to me.” This one had potential to be a stage 5 clinger, so good for her that she got him off quick!

Nick, from IL, got the first impression rose for the night. He got out of the car and Andi complemented on how she liked his polka dot tie and he looked so nice. He didn’t seem like anything special to me, but I guess she liked him!

And then there was Emil… This poor guy should change his name because it is pronounced like anal with an M, and that is how he described it to Andi. Looks like she decided early on that she couldn’t marry someone with a name like anal, so she sent him home during the rose ceremony.

Brett is a hairstylist who confused everyone and brought a lamp for Andi from his hotel room. He said that his momma always told him to greet a girl with something, so too bad he didn’t remember that before he got to his hotel room…

A buff guy named Josh M, who also happens to be from Atlanta, impressed Andi from his first step out of the car. He is a pro baseball player and she was attracted to him from the beginning. She confessed to the camera later that he is “totally my type.” He was the first to get some one on one time with her and even took off his jacket for her! Nailed it J During her time with him she was quizzing him and made sure that he liked sushi because she said she could eat sushi 7 days a week!

Marquel did a super cute cookie tasting with her during their one on one time! He said that he was sure she had done a wine tasting before, so they would do a cookie tasting instead!!

All the guys got along well, except for two guys who really hit it off!

Andrew and Patrick have already began a bromance, and admitted it to the camera that they have something special… they may or may not have just found their soul mate tonight on the show in Andi.

Many guys seemed to have something different about them from everyone else, so she seemed to easily be able to drop the first 6 from the group. Most left gracefully, but there is always a crazy in the group! Josh B left very upset that he had just wasted his time here and now bruised his ego.

Over all the guys who were picked on the first night, I am guessing now that top 5 will be Marcus, Josh from Atl, Chris from Iowa, Nick from IL, and JJ J

Honeymoon to Dominican Republic

I have had a great week at Edisto with my family, but nothing could beat our honeymoon trip to DR.

Stu and I flew out Monday following the wedding and went to Excellence Resort in Puna Canta. Our trip was 7 days and 6 nights to the beautiful Dominican Republic. We could not have had better weather our entire trip! We started out most of our days on the beach and ended the afternoons in one of the pools.

We were warmly welcomed at the resort by the concierge and a glass of champagne.

Our suite over looked the cascading pool, so it was a gorgeous view in the mornings when we enjoyed breakfast on our balcony.

We loved the food! There were 8 restaurants to choose from plus room service at anytime you wished! Our favorite dinner spot was the French restaurant called Chez Issabelle and our favorite lunch spot was The Grill which sat over looking one of the pools and beach.

This was our first full day on the beach! I loved that there were beds to lay out on! We went venturing down the beach and found some cool trees that hung over the water. Stu was definitely in his element!!!

Poor Stu forgot his sunglasses, so he went and bought a new pair at one of the gift shops on our resort. AND that's when my obsession with my new fedora hat started :)

This was day 3! We got up that morning and went to breakfast in one of the restaurants. After breakfast, we quickly hit the beach and and ended our day in the pool!

This was day 4!

On Friday, we left the resort and went into the city to go snorkeling on a catamaran. We met a wedding party from Canada who had brought over 25 people with them for their trip and they were all on the catamaran with us. We also met a couple who lived in NC and their nephew played for Clemson :) That couple flew home on the same flight we did, so I found them in the baggage pick up area and welcomed them home!

This was our last day in DR :( We spent the day by the beach and pool with friends, and we went back to The Grill for the 3rd time for lunch!

Four couples that we know from back home ended up coming to the same resort Thursday to Sunday, so it was a great ending to our week having friends from home.

This was a sweet friend that we met while in DR! She and her husband were also on their honeymoon and married the same day we were :) After we all returned home, we added them on facebook and realized they lived in a small town called Swansea, IL! What a small world since Stu grew up in Swansea, SC!
