WOW!! I can’t believe how fast time is flying by!!!
It’s absolutely ridiculous that we are halfway through August!
When I agreed to stand in two weddings this summer I KNEW that August would pretty much be written off…but now that I am in the middle of it all, I just wish that I had a vacation coming up!!! (Yes, I know, I just got back from vacation, but that was a busy one!)
Anyway, we are heading out tonight for wedding #2! This one is for 2 dear friends of mine, but it isn’t going to be ANYTHING like my best friend’s wedding…I am not saying anything bad about this wedding, it’s just that there is something special to watching your best friend walk down the aisle to the man she is meant to marry. As well, because both me and my husband were in the last wedding, it was so much fun to walk down the aisle towards him again…ALSO, because it was our best friends, we got along with family and whatnot so much better. AND…the inlaws weren’t at the other wedding…
Either way, this is going to be a good time!! I am going to get to watch another one of my friends walk down that aisle to the love of her life!!
I do have another couple of busy days ahead of me though!! The drive tonight is 5 hours (AFTER work…so we won’t arrive until around 11pm). Then I am up tomorrow for a mani/pedi with the bride and a few errands while Danny takes my newly sick iMac to the doctors. Then we have the rehearsal at 4:30pm and hopefully an early night!!!
I am meeting up with the girls at 9am for hair and makeup, which means that I have to get into the city (we are staying outside) pretty early (poor Danny has to drive me!) and then I will have one busy day!!! Oddly, the bride and groom has TOLD the entire wedding party that they must stay until the end of the reception when we have to clean up…that is 1:30 am! Not to sound like an old lady, but we have another 5 hour drive in the morning!!! I am thinking that I won’t really be drinking at this wedding (not like the last!) because I want to make sure that both the husband and I are in a condition to drive the next day!
I am hoping to be back to blogging at LEAST 3/4 time starting next week…we are camping next weekend, but not until after work, so I don’t really have any excuses!! Plus, now that all of the hoopla is over, I will be able to focus on a healthy lifestyle!
Oh, and about that relaxing vacation??? I have booked a 5 day trip for the husband and I to Halifax in October to visit the girls!!! THAT will be bliss!

Enjoy the wedding my dear (and btw I’ve never heard of making the wedding party stay and CLEAN after the reception…is it catered?)

I can’t imagine TELLING my wedding party they had to help do anything. The only thing I “told” them to do is when to show up for rehearsal and for the wedding. I did say when me and my mom and some aunts would be getting stuff ready and I had some offer to help set up. And really, whoever was there at the end helped us clean up. Which was not much at all because I didn’t really want to keep much and we rented all the table pieces and what not. But telling? No.
