wedding weekend

As promised here are some pictures from my gorgeous friend Lisas wedding!

My Rrehearsal Dinner Dress

The dinner was at this great little Italian place. Lisas family and her fiance Richards family hadn't really met before so she had everyone get together for this dinner to mingle and get to know one another. Kids ran around and became fast friends, and I became fast friends with the canolies and bartender.. mmm.

My new dinner ring!

 Isn't it so pretty!! I really like it because it looks glittery, but up close its really just a lot of grooves in metal so its kinda manly up close lol

This colorful breakfast ended up being the only thing I ate the day of the wedding at 8 am.. I do not reccomend this.. especially if you end up with champagine AND your drink of choice in both hands during most of the night

My inspiration for hair and make up

Me and my Lou a few minutes before her big entrance

I almost face planted and made her crack up laughing.. count on me to almost fall and break the tension in the room lol

Ok I know she is my friend.. but isn't she the most beautiful bride EVER!

I could not stop gazing at her the entire day.. she was so happy and beaming.

My Faith Hill Perfume

My earings

The center pieces

Ek! My "Before" shot

A horrid picture of a picture, but only shot of just us three bridesmaids

Underwood putting on her twin sisters pretty shoes for the day

So I kinda had to put the photographer in his place.

Jeff.. or Joe.. or who ever the guy is becuase he literaly said to me:

"Bridgette I am going to punch you if you don't smile!"

Said to me right before this shot where he told me I had to "smush in" the shot becuase the sun was directly IN my eyes the entire time..

The beautiful couple!

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

all I can say for myself is..

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH lol

Holy crap.

1. I suck at blogging these days. soooo sorry. But dude..
2. Finally feeling much better in time for the wedding.
3. finally stopped peeling from burn in time for wedding.
4. never ended up working out or dieting for wedding.. still fit into dress though for wedding. (phew!)
5. Currently dealing with mini dramas about the wedding.. two days before the wedding.

I loved getting your emails and comments in response to my recent post on some motherly advice. The story of my brother wanting to be in the circus and his bear "Scraggle Bear" being his elephant has some what stayed with me these past few days.

When I was younger I wanted desperately to be many things. First a Guardian Angel like in the movie "Heart And Souls". If you haven't seen it it is such a must! But when my Catholic roots told me nah nah I turned my focus to being the best cat there ever was.. and when that proved  near impossible I then took my turn at being a mermaid when I grew up. I mean who HASN'T hooked their ankles together in the pool and totes proved they could pull off the mermaid swim? And The Little Mermaid jump? Don't even get me started. I was a freaking pro at this. I had the perfect long hair and EVERYthing!

One of my older sisters wanted to be the Tooth fairy for awhile too..

Magical..

Yes that's what me and my brothers and sisters wanted to be when we grew up.. we all chose something magical and wonderful..

What did you want to be when you grew up??
