Going to the Chapel...

This was the first of our 3 weddings (and hopefully no funerals) summer. Aaron's friend Pat married his gorgeous wife Monica in the botanical gardens on Saturday. It was pretty full when we got there so we sat in the back and off to the side and I added reason 1,462 to the Kameron needs a Nikon D90 (or D60, I'm not super picky) cause....the ability to zoom in!! Monica's dress was gorgeous and I thought she looked so beautiful.

Of course I had to get a new dress for the occasion. I almost bought the same dress as Heather had for a recent wedding, but since another girl showed up in it, I was glad I got something else!! My hubby was even thoughtful enough to set up an appointment for me to get my hair blown out on Saturday so I didn't have to do it myself. I hate blow drying my hair!! It always comes out frizzy and takes me 40 minutes.

The wedding was at 2:30 and the reception started shortly thereafter so it made for a long day for this pregnant girl. I'm pretty sure I gained 5 pounds that day since there was so much food served! Even with an empire waist I was feeling the cinching at the end! It was nice to have a toddler free day since my friend Joelle took him for the night. I got to hang out with our friends and talk which I don't get to do very often (read never).

They had no official MC, just a pre-programmed playlist but they did get many laughs by setting up this cut-out of Obama near the computer and calling him the DJ! Even with no liquid courage I was able to be stupid for pictures. Around 9 pm I started to fade and we had to go home and call AAA anyway since my hubby so smartly locked the keys in his truck before we left for the wedding, so we made our exit. One wedding down, 2 more to go. I will be growing exponentially from now until September when the last wedding is so it should make for some funny comparisons!
