Weddings!!

The theme of this summer/fall is weddings. My life is full of weddings right now and has been for most of the summer, and it looks like there is no end in sight.

In July my hubby, and 2 of our friends ventured to North Carolina to visit a friend who was getting married. I had never been that far East/South in my boring life so it was rather exciting for me. It was a great small town wedding. My favorite part was the fact that the beautiful bride, Carolyn, wore a tea length dress. It was so unexpected and so sickeningly cute, I loved it!!

The weekend after our visit to North Carolina we went to yet another wedding. It was at this gorgeous ranch in Loveland. I was a little shocked when I learned that the reception would be held in a barn, but I have to say it was one of the most fun weddings I have been to, in fact I had a little too much fun as you can see here....

and here....

This is what happens when you give me a night away from my child, put all my friends and I in a room (or barn) and give us an open bar... I love weddings!!

These 2 weddings are not the end, I have more to go. My hubby's brother is getting married in September. They live in Texas and they are getting married here in Colorado. So, I have been on the phone with them, emailing them, texting them, trying to help them with all the wedding plans- it is not easy for them to plan a wedding that will be held in another state, but it is going to be another great wedding. My favorite part of planning this wedding is the bride. She is the most laid back bride in the history of the world. Seriously, if there was an award for the bride that is the least bridezilla ever, Mandy would get the award. She actually kind of freaks me out.. come on Mandy, show me your bridezilla side, I know it is hiding there somewhere.

There is another wedding that will happen in November. Our good friends are getting married and I am the maid of honor and Steve is the best man. Without sounding too cliche, I would like to say that Steve and I are truly honored to be standing up with this couple, they are the most caring, faithful friends and I am so happy they are finally getting married!!

My favorite part about this wedding, so far, is the trick the bride played on her fiance. She had him believing the dress she wanted to buy encompassed the entire wedding budget and "she just had to have it". This pic was his reaction, well not really but it could be! I just love it when the brides don't take their wedding planning too seriously.

And there is one more wedding worth mentioning. It is not until next summer, but it is going to include our wonderful friends getting married in the mountains and my cute little son will be the ring bearer. So from now until next summer I will be living in constant fear of my child ruining their ceremony :). So far my favorite part about this wedding is the engagement ring. Whenever I am around the bride I stare at her finger and drool, she thinks I have some sort of hyper salivating problem. I am not usually a materialistic girl, but this ring is so beautiful and sparkly and the diamond is so big- I cannot help myself!

Can you tell I love weddings? They represent the start of a new partnership and a new chapter. They are so beautiful, exciting, and full of hope and love. I will admit, I also love weddings because of the free food and drinks, but don't tell anybody I said that.
