Congrats Carolyn and Tom!

What a weekend! I’ll skip over the part where I came up to my parents and within 15 minutes of them leaving for the airport I locked myself out of the house and they had to come back to let me in. Yup, skipping over that part. Also going to skip over the part where I waited hours for the cable guy to come so he could fix the internet that was working fine all weekend and still continues to work just as well as before he came.

Then there was the rehearsal and the rehearsal dinner :P With wine :) We have a good time when we all get together. More people need to get married so we have excuses to do this stuff. Of course I ate too much, so when I got home I had more energy than my tiny body could contain. I put on some music and Buffy and I danced around for an hour and chased each other around the house. 13, hah! Buffy proves you’re only as old as you feel… when her legs don’t collapse from the arthritis.

Friday I had planned to go shopping, ’cause hey, I’m in Bergen County, what else am I gonna do. I wasn’t in the mood to shop though, so I wandered around the mall aimlessly until I rounded up enough courage to get my eyebrows threaded. I also got Natalie an awesome present for her second birthday party Sunday :) Oh and free frozen yogurt, but I told that story to Krissy and realized it wasn’t very interesting, so I’ll spare you. Then I went to party city and spent an hour there picking out a costume and then didn’t buy it because it was too sexy for work. I came home and made myself a makeshift quesadilla for dinner and played castleville and watched How I Met Your Mother on Netflix for four hours. I had forgotten what it was like to feel bored. I picked Krissy up and then we got some much needed beauty sleep.

We woke up bright and early and rushed over to Carolyn’s to get our hairs done. Rachi did my makeup and I played some wedding youtube music to keep Carolyn entertained :P Carolyn looked so pretty in her dress and sooooooo happy :D We took our fancy rides over to the church for the ceremony. Carolyn’s Rolls-Royce honked Here Comes the Bride :D

The ceremony was nice, they did a good job with the music. We got to sit for most of it which was awesome. By the time we got to the reception hall my feet were dying. Thank God Carolyn got us flip flops! The cocktail hour was crazy! There’s no way I could list the variety of food there. I didn’t take too much because I knew there was more good stuff coming, but what I did have was delicious. And the drinks. The pumpkin martini, OMG.

The band had to have been the best wedding band ever. Seriously impressive. And I had just the right amount of alcohol, caffeine and sugar to get me up dancin’ like a crazy little bridesmaid. Of course dinner was amazing. I had linguine with lobster and shrimp and clams :P The wedding cake was good. The chocolate covered strawberries were drool worthy. Ellen and Bryan were arguing about who would go over to the next table to steal their last strawberry, so I went over and took it for Bryan.

The weather was so nice, the reception hall was beautiful and the couple obviously had the time of their life, as well as all the guests. It was a perfect day and the best wedding I’ve ever been to (except my own for obvious reasons :P).

What an awesome day! So sad it’s over, but looking forward to seeing pictures and doing this all again next month for Rachi’s wedding!
