sam_gamgeeOne of my best friends, Heather, got married today to a really great guy named Chris.
I was in the bridal party - which was a kind of neat experience.
We ended up having the bachelorette party on Thursday and we went to Casablanca's (a Morroccan restaurant) for dinner. The others had never been there, but we had a good time and they all really liked it. Afterwards, we went back to Dawn's (Heather's sister) house.
Friday night was the rehearsal - which went well. Though, Heather didn't want to kiss Chris in front of us, so we teased them a bit. Afterwards, we went back to Heather's grandparents' place for a cookout.
Had to get up early this morning to get my hair done. I told the stylist to just do whatever, since I hadn't had anything in mind aside from wanting it off my face. She pulled it back and made it into a lot of curls. It looked really nice and I pulled out 43 bobby pins tonight (but between them and the hairspray, it held all day so I'm not really complaining). Then we met up at the church to get ready. Dawn and I were starting to get worried because Connie, Chris' mom, still had our dresses. (They weren't ready by Friday night, let alone last Sunday.) But she showed up in time. Dawn did all the girls' make-up. I wore these nice strappy sandals with heels, but they killed my feet, so all the pictures have me with my shoes off. The wedding itself was very pretty and Heather looked gorgeous and it all went great. The picture taking took a while because we did, like, 50 different poses in the church then the wedding party went to an outside locale and took all of our pictures again there too. Another wedding came to the same locale as we were getting ready to leave. Mackenzie, Dawn's 5 year old dauighter, said, "Do we have to do another wedding?" The reception was fun, though, and the food was good. There was even a bit of dancing involved and I got to dance with one of the groomsmen.
But when I got home, I was wiped out.
Tomorrow's going to be a bit crazy with getting things ready to leave at Oh-God-hundred on Monday for Oklahoma. But I know it'll all work out. At this point, I have 1 day, 8 hours, and 59 minutes until the plane takes off.
