We Survived The Wedding

I have not stopped by to blog in a few days, that is because I am completely EXHAUSTED! I think we pulled it all off, the rehearsal dinner, the reception, eve my girls walked down the aisle without a scene,,yea!!

The bride was beautiful, the parents cried, food and dancing followed, all in all it was a good couple of days. The evening after the reception that brides parents and my mom and I sat outside talking until 2:30 am just trying to unwind from the weeks of preparation. It was like we had to rehash it to get it to sink in that it really happened, lol.

After doing all that work on the outside of mom and dad's house, we ended up switching venues at the last minute. A church hall that we had called about before because available the day before,,,yes the day before. We hesitated because we had almost everything ready to go here. The deciding factor I think was the weather, as it was suppose to storm later that evening. It had already been raining sideways that morning. There were other pluses to the church hall, like parking extra bathrooms, etc so all in all it made sense to move it.

As we sat under the carport that night after the reception, we all looked around at the hard work we had all put in and sighed. We all agreed that it was still worth it for several reasons, it got the house spruced up for mom and dad, we all got to reconnect as a family, and we could still use the carport for other get togethers over the summer. We are already planning something for the 4th of July and we are hoping to get a card party together before that...we will see.

We all did our best to make the bride as happy as possible on her day, so I think we all feel good about that. I am sure more stories will trickle out from the day.
