Wedding no.4

Annie

This was my last (I think) wedding for the year! I was a bridesmaid for my lovely friend Annie. She got married in the same backyard I did. Since I didn't have any bridesmaids and hadn't ever been a "normal" or typical bridesmaid, and never knew what it felt like, this was my first experience. I am talking about those types of weddings you see in movies and in wedding mags, where the girlies get together and curl (or straighten) their hair, do their make-up, and talk about boys.  We arrived at 10:30 a.m. (say what? yep.) So there we all were walking around with our coffees, some in their PJs, others in robes, me in no make-up and gettin' things ready.

I sat there absorbing this girlyness for a few hours and even decided to straighten my hair. (What?) Yes. I did.

After hours of the beautification process (kinda felt like Esther in the bible), I walked out...and most people didn't even recognize me.  Shoot, I hardly recognized myself!

 

My friend's little 3 year old kept calling me some other name, one of my buddies was like "???" and my other friend walked right passed me and didn't know it was me. I admit, I had fun. It sorta felt like Halloween and you know that I dig all these costume/theme parties because I love dressing up! So although I wasn't too fond of my straight-haired look, I was havin' fun! 

I have to say, the wedding party was pretty darn good lookin' and the guests were looking pretty fly! Gosh, I have some gorgeous friends!!!

And of course, it was an opportunity for my hubby and I to dress up and take advantage of this. We just love weddings and it reminds us of our own wedding, the vows we took, and the beauty of marriage!
