Big news! I got married this weekend. It was an amazing time with family and friends, in South Carolina at my favorite hotel, The Inn at Palmetto Bluff. And I am so happy to have tied the knot with my beautiful bride.
The weather was perfect, 70 degrees during the day. We rode bikes, swam, and spent time with all of our friends and family. We kicked off the long three day weekend with cocktails and s'mores outside at a bonfire.... there is something about s'mores that isn't only fun for kids, we all got into roasting marshmallows, although a few ended up in the fire pit.
The rehearsal dinner was catered by my friend Paula Deen's restaurant, The Lady & Sons.... definitely a great night of food. The wedding was a formal black tie affair at a chapel by the May River, followed by a cocktail reception and fireworks! (Yes, fireworks! My son is going to think that happens at every wedding... and hey, why not!)
If you plan on visiting the South Carolina Lowcountry - you should try to spend some time at the Inn at Palmetto Bluff. It was just voted #2 resort by Conde Nast Traveler Magazine. Its also a great place for family trips, since they have beautiful homes available by the night as well. For more information go to their website www.palmettobluffresort.com
It was an event to remember. InStyle Magazine will feature the wedding in their March issue, so make sure to pick up a copy for some of the photos...
I think everyone went home happy....
Wedding!

(Page 2)17. Hi Kathy,
I'm Anthony, Tyler's sous chef, check out Tyler's brand new website: www.tylerflorence.com to see his schedule. He just finished a nationwide book tour but is on the road all the time so hopefully he'll be in your area soon to sign some books for you.

18. Hi Sherry (Charlotte, NC),
I'm Anthony, Tyler's Sous Chef - to answer your question about the "Oven Roasted Turkey Breast with Homemade Cornbread Stuffing" - preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and roast it for 20 minutes, then let it rest for 10 minutes once it comes out of the oven. It should be crispy on the outside and moist and tender on the inside. And also, yes - you can transfer it to an oven-friendly pan after searing it. Let us know how it goes this Christmas!
Thanks, Anthony

23. Congratulations Tyler, to you & your new bride. I was on the web site a few days ago & saw nothing about a wedding. I was wondering why you hadn't been snatched up years ago!
