Weekend Wedding
We spent this weekend at Chris' friend Jay's wedding. We actually were there when they met for the first time. When Chris found out that Jay and Erin were dating he told me they'd get married and I guess he was right!
Here they are having their first dance:
Half of this happy couple is drunk. Can you guess which half?
A good time was had by all. The food was AMAZING! Have I ever disclosed my love for appetizers? Oh man, do I love me some appetizers. In fact I'm requesting for our wedding that they just feed me appetizers instead of dinner. Yum.
Half of this couple is drunk as well:
At the end of the night, I decided that I was going to take the centerpiece from our table. At other weddings I've been to, you were free to take the centerpiece if no one else at your table wanted it. Sometimes the DJ would play a game with the guest and you'd "win" the center piece. Well I noticed that people were leaving them all over the place - no one was taking them. Then I noticed one leave with someone and I thought - hey - I'll take ours. So I took it. I'm not sure if this was incredibly rude, or what? Who knows. Oh well - guess people might have been talking about me after that...
Anyway there was a shuttle from the wedding to the hotel - thank god. On the bus there was big talk from the men of going to Philly for an after party. Some of the other guests did go, but when we got back Chris passed out and Shawn locked himself in the bathroom.

I, too, have a great love for the appetizer. Did you ever see the movie Mermaids? It stars Cher as a mother who only prepares appetizers. It's fabulous.
I was a caterer for awhile and would take ALL the leftover centerpiece flowers that I could and make a bouquet for my mother. Sometimes towards the end of the reception, if a table was empty or unattended, I would start pre-emptively corraling (is that a word) the flowers for myself. So, you take the centerpiece girl!

I was just talking about that centerpiece- taking practice the other day! I hadn't heard about it myself but my florist and I were talking about renting little trees for our tables but she was concerned that people would take them. I guess it does happen!
We should probablyl try to figure out how to stop people- I am stumped.
Looks like a beautiful wedding... even with the sloppy boys! :)

I think sometimes you can take them and sometimes you can't. Maybe they should post a notice at the weddings. har.
that looks like a lot of fun! and the boys do look totally sloppy. You look really pretty!

Sloppy? eh. I would call both me and the shiz composed.

I really hate it when Amy gets so drunk I have to make stupid smiles at the camera and drag her around. (sigh)
That was one of those nights when you wake up the next day, and your liver is sitting next to you, drinking a cup of coffee saying, "You're an asshole."

I went to a wedding where all they had was appetizers -- no sit-down dinner and I loved it. I always get really bored at the dinner. In fact, my friends and I have been known to skip dinner in favor of the bar...is that really bad to do??
