more weddings....

This Saturday was the 2nd weekend of weddings -- this time it was 1 wedding and 2 receptions -- both for some of my favorite friends I met when I was at KPMG. The first was C and J who got married in this BEAUTIFUL catholic church in Midtown....she was such a BEAUTIFUL bride and the ceremony was so great. The deacon who did it was great and I especially loved the homily talking about the different stages of love and how they are in the first stage and how their love will change and grow over their life....it was a great talk! We then went to their reception for cocktail hour and to get to catch up with everyone. It was a great time -- and they even had a "signature drink" -- a key lime martini that was fabulous. We then went off to the 2nd reception for J and P - they got married the week before in a GORGEOUS ceremony on the beach in Galveston with their families and then had a reception with all their family and friends. She looked BEAUTIFUL too and I absolutely loved her dress...it was so perfect! Even down to the flip flops which facilitated all the dancing we were doing!!! It was so great to get to celebrate these two great couples all in the same night! And even better - then we went to the black swan after for a little "after hours" dancing. The thing I love about the black swan -- the music, the random people, and pretty much doing whatever you want on the dance floor. My favorite comment of the night - "man, Lippe, you can move it. Are you sure you are white?!?" ha, ha. LOVE that. I contribute all of my learned moves to my college friends with whom we used to go SHAKE IT all the time!!! And I know I am wearing the same dress here as the last few posts -- when I find a dress I love - it is so hard for me to not wear it!!! I LOVE IT. Promise I'll give it a rest for a bit!
Above, Here is LM, LL and I leaving the first reception....It was so fun to get to hang out with these two and party hop all night!
Here is Lisa and I with C and J.....I knew C at A&M as he was in the accounting program with me and friends with some mutual friends. He also started at KPMG with me....and that is how he met J. She is SO great -- I really like getting to spend time with her, too bad I don't get to see her as often anymore! Congrats C and J!!!
Here are the girls at the reception #2 -- I should have shown the cute cups they had printed for the occasion -- and even better the koozies we got with their "logo" on it.....so cute!
Here is me and KK -- she is one of my KPMG friends. She is so precious and is expecting a little girl in January...and of course, looks so stinking cute right now. I should have gotten a full length picture just so you can see little Baby K! Say a little prayer for her and her sweet husband as they prepare for their first little one!
The girls with the Bride!!! It was so fun to get to celebrate with J and P at their reception!!! Here is LC, JK, me and LM....yes, we took this picture and then headed directly to the dance floor!!! And yes, my shoes had to be kicked off in the corner so I could dance "appropriately". And for those of you who know me, well, you know what appropriate means. ha, ha.
After the receptions we headed to the Black Swan and had a drink and about 2 hours on the dancefloor. Man, I love that place......the music is great and everyone is just dancing however they want on the dancefloor. And these girls can really break it down!
Here are some of my old staff that worked on an engagement with me when we were at KPMG. I LOVE these girls. We used to have SOOO much fun back in the day -- and of course still!!! They are some of the sweetest girls and have great hubbies and SWEET little kiddos to play with. I only wish they lived closer so we could hang out more often....yes, I know the suburbs aren't that far away....its just hard for me to get out there :)
Oh, and here is me and CC -- he was also one of our staff on our engagement and you just have to HEART him. He is a piece of work -- that is for sure....I wish you could see his total outfit - besides what you see here -- he is sporting some linen pants and WHITE loafers...yes, I said white. It was just classic....and totally CC. And I also really appreciate the nice red mark on his head....when I asked what it was from - I got a story about a pool, a polaris and trying to dodge the polaris and hitting his head on the bottom. Yes, it was awesome. Good job, mister. I loved it even more when we got him to the Black Swan on the dancefloor.....with four girls and him, well, lets just say he got a little attention :)

It was a great night - again, congratulations to J and P and C and J!!! I hope your marriages are filled with lots of love, joy, and LOTS of children!!!
