In one of my first blogs, I wrote about how much I love them....I love what they represent - love, commitment, a celebration with family and friends - and I love how they bring everyone together. This weekend, a wedding was the primary reason for the trip to D-town....so I knew it was going to be a good weekend.
The bride and I went to go get mani's and pedi's on Friday at this great spa in Frisco. I got this coffee mani and pedi -- it was delicious. I hadn't had a mani and pedi in a while, and I swear I lost 2 pounds - one off each foot!! But my feet are now really really soft! MD and I had a great time catching up since i don't get to see her as much as i did when she lived here in H-town.
Then it was time to settle in to the cottages at the country club - we had this great idea to rent out these cottages that are owned by the country club where the reception was. It was a great idea...they were very pretty and it was really great to get to walk home from the reception. But what we didn't know was there was a roach problem (um, i mean i picked up at least 5-10 new dead ones each morning - trying to do it before eveyone else realized how bad it was!!), our front door was just to the righ of the driving range - so everytime we walked out of our door we said a quick prayer that no one shanked one before we could take cover around the corner, and we had a little issue with cottage #2 where when we checked in 3 hours before the wedding and realized there was no AC! (let's just say that was the last straw and demanding and evil karen came out, but we won't go into that becuase it wasn't very pretty!)
Then it was the rehearsal time -- just the norm except the sweet old lady telling me "sweetie, you better be careful in those heels - these stairs are slippery and i don't want you to fall"....which if you know me basically means, you will bust your butt becuase you are clumsy....its just a matter of time. (I can say that I made it through both the rehearsal and wedding without falling down!) And the rehearsal dinner - which my favorite part was getting to catch up with old friends....SM, KC and RC, and KC's mom GF and of course with the bride and groom.
That's one of my favorite things about weddings - is getting so spend time with people you don't get to see everyday. Although we all live in H-town, we don't get to see each other as much as we would like. So this weekend we got to spend a lot of time together and catching up....at the rehearsal dinner, shopping at the outlet mall (and all of us spending an alarming amount of money in a short period of time!), drinking mimosas as the bridal party got ready, laughing on the dance floor, recapping the nights activites with a night cap or while drinking mimosas when we woke up and needed something to make us feel better! And of course, the wedding went off without a hitch. We were all so happy to be there to celebrate with MD and KG on their wedding day!
Here's a picture of LG and I at the wedding....before we decided to hit the dancefloor - and after that, our makeup and hair would NOT be the same!
Here's a picture of KL, MD, and SM. Of course, the bride looked beautiful!!!
