So we got there and checked into our room, I quickly got myself made up while Bryan took a quick nap. Then it was off for the bride's house. The other girls weren't there yet due to some disaster with a certain friend who ended up "looking like a poodle" (Crystal those were your mom's words, LOL) and had to be rushed to another salon to fix it. She ended up with a classy Sarah Palin-esque up do, very pretty. So when I got there I was asked to finish up the bouquets since I'm "the crafty one". Crafty- I guess. Well I had to haul ass to wrap up 5 bridesmaid bouquets and Crystal's too. I did what I could in the time I was allowed and the supplies given. I even put Bryan to work trying to cut wire. They were by far not my best work, but I guess I got the job done. Although looking back I am somewhat embarrassed by the quality. So Alli, Crystal, and Monique- I swear I'm much better at it....I was rushed!
I was very happy to see the girls when they got back. I hadn't seen anyone since March. Everyone looked amazing, big hugs were definitely in order. They all got dressed in the apple red gowns and heels from hell (my feet are still recovering) and we left for the chapel.
The wedding was great. Short and sweet. The reception was just as great. It was really nice just catching up with everyone, in between multiple malibu and pineapples, beer for Alli. We were laughing at how I had everything anyone needed in my gigantic purse, and recanting stories of all the stupid things we had done in junior high and high school- the music we listened to, things we did, it was all hilarious. It's been way too long, and I only wish we could all get together more often. I hated saying good bye. BTW-sorry we didn't do the after party- this mom was ready for a night of uninterrupted sleep!! If anyone of ya'll have had to breastfeed a baby pretty much every hour at night ya'll would understand. It felt so good. I'm sure the drinks had something to do with it.
Well we are back with the kiddos, and of course the kids manage to get sick while we were away so I'm dealing with runny noses and coughing. I'm glad to be back with them though.
