But alas, in June, one of my besties got married. It was a very exciting day for all involved.
I was lucky enough to hang out during the BBQ instead of shower...
And, being a biologist, you can't fault her for reading wrapping paper instead of unwrapping... We also learned that I can make a pretty good florist...
We moved on to the rehursal the next day... Where we made due with what we could... ie: fake table, narrow aisle... and a fake pipeist.
There is something wrong with an official telling you to "Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle" now... Thanks LMFAO.
Day of the ceremony was crummy... Threatened rain - we were almost prepared to move inside... Thankfully, we didn't have to... Barely.
But, we got everything done outside - which was a good call in my honest opinion...
Instead of a 'cocktail hour' we did a tea party! Which was 100% what the bride and groom were all about... So much fun... and the cookies were SOOO good... I'm still dreaming about how yummy they were. Haha.
After the tea, and during the rain, we hid out and played games... and watched the bear on the hill (apparently there was 3 at one point, but I only ever saw one). If there was three, it was probably a good omen that it rained all day so we made a point of camping out in the lodge...
The rain lightned just as dinner started - although not stopping completely...
But it did finally stop... and we ventured out into the sunshine to get some fun photos of the bridal party... without wet shoulders and umbrellas.
Not gonna lie - I had the most fun with these...
We finished off the official part of the night with the speeches and cake!, seeing as we didn't have a working stereo system for anything else - but we made the best of it.
Following the gathering and mingling - when everyone left (bride and groom included), those spending the night in and around the lodge settled in for some games and music (yes, we got the stereo working)...
And we rounded out the festivities with breakfast (a large chunk of which was made by the groom.. that doesn't seem right), and bouquet toss before we ended with more mingling and packed everything up.
Congrats to C and R!! I <3 you, and hope the day was everything you wanted! :)
