Emily, Margaret, and I decided to give a group toast to Jay and Suz because the story we wanted to tell involved all three of us (and Jay), and more importantly...to me, anyway, I knew if I stood up on my own and started speaking, I would get a mere 3-4 words out before I started ugly crying/no one can understand what you are saying business. Safety in numbers! Although, of course I did still cry. We recounted taking Jay out for margaritas at Chuy's and laying it out for him...we wanted him to be The One, which meant bumping the current clown Suz was dating and getting all their ducks in a row. Look how that turned out... :)
Margaret and I took more family/parent pictures than I think have been taken since I was about 3 years old. Of course I got none of all of us looking directly at my camera, but you get the drift.
My mama didn't know she would be color coordinating so well with the wedding decor.
It was a bit crowded in the "Sewing Room" of the Ye Kendall Inn...but we let Aunt Jemima stay anyway, closed eyes in pictures and all. At some point in the night, I decided to start using a British/Irish accent when saying the name of the hotel...not at all sure why. I think we'd had enough wine, dancing, and fun that none of us really cared about the reality that 3 of us were sharing a queen bed.
Thank goodness I'm not following this wedding anytime soon!!!! How do you top this entrance???
Ain't she a pretty thing?! :)
I'm trying to give you a peak at how beautiful and perfect the weather turned out...a mere 12ish hours after a complete downpour. Do you see a single cloud in that sky?
Mr. and Mrs. Rubottom!!
I stole this picture off someone's Facebook page whom I don't even know...but I couldn't resist. This was inside the tent where the reception and band were. Amazing. I had such a great time and was so sad everything was over on Sunday. I also think I want to hire Suzanna to be me or coach me the weekend of my own wedding one day. That girl was more calm than I would have ever been. She did not roll eyes at Maureen, the wedding planner whom I was plotting to throw into the lake due to her patronizing way of speaking to everyone, she vacuumed hours before her wedding, she went with her now husband to be baptised in the lake 30 minutes before her own wedding rehearsal, and she said her face didn't hurt from smiling after a 5 hour long rehearsal dinner. I am so excited for them!!
