Winter Wonderland Wedding

I love weddings. I love getting dressed up, the gorgeous bride, the handsome groom, the food, the music...the love. I love everything about weddings. And I even love traveling home for 48 hours (I once did 24!) to celebrate a wedding!

This weekend me and Dad spent the weekend in the Berkshires. Danny wasn't able to make it to the wedding, so I brought the next best person...my Dad!

The wedding weekend started with rehearsal and dinner. It was such a perfect, laid back dinner - pizza and beer. My Dad mingled, I chatted with the girls, and made some new friends. When the night was over, and lots of beer glasses were empty....we went back to the room. This hotel was super fancy - they turned down your blankets and leave chocolate chip cookies on your pillows. This might be the reason Veronica chose to get married here!

Saturday morning the bride and her maids were up early for hair appointments. And to everyone's surprise and the brides delight - it snowed overnight! Perfect for a winter wedding in the mountains!

By 10:00 the girls were dressed in our silver and aubergine. The brides mom was in aubergine with a silver flower, and the grooms mom was in silver with a aubergine flower. We all matched perfectly. It was gorgeous. And when Veronica put on her dress...she was the most beautiful bride.

 At 10:30 the bride was walking down the aisle to her handsome groom. They exchanged beautiful vows, the bride even threw in a "heck ya!"

The reception had lots of dancing, good food (brunch!) and fantastic people. I can not wait to see the professional pictures...Veronica and Pete are a beautiful couple. And, if I do say so myself, the wedding party was pretty good lookin' too!

Congratulations Veronica and Pete! I love you both!

Yesterday I had an Avon and Scentsy Open House and Brunch! Some of my closest family and friends came over for a morning full of eating and shopping...seriously, what's not to love about that!

Such a Great Weekend!

This weekend has been so great so far, and just think...there's still a full day left of it!

Friday night me and Danny went on a fancy-shmancy date. We drove out to New Bern (because lets face it, who really wants to go out to eat in Jacksonville...on a payday) and had dinner at this random place I found online. The website was really nice, so I assumed it was a dress up place. So we put on some nice clothes, heels and all, and went out! And man am I glad we dressed up! Everyone had cute summer dresses on and guys had jackets! I love those kind of places! Anyway, we had a yummy bottle of red wine, blue cheese dip and of course...awesome meals. We will most definitely be driving out to Downtown New Bern again! Oh, and I must be looking pretty old these days...the girl didn't card me! Jeez!

Yesterday I had a little girls day with Breanna. Much needed. We went to a movie, laughed at the old ladies that sat near us..and got some food. Talked about stuff that I'm not yet ready to blog about and just enjoyed the girl time. We didn't get to do the Super Secret Saturday event...no girls were really interested. Too bad, we missed out on the Male Revue! BOO!

Hubby took me out for ice cream last night. Ice cream down here sucks. I want farm stand ice cream. Not something I can get anywhere. Does that even make sense to anyone? I know it does to the girls from Massachusetts. I.Want.Richardsons. What's better than getting ice cream and then looking at the cows that gave you the milk...ew, isn't that gross? I once saw a cow give birth while I was eating ice cream...most disgusting thing ever!

We had a slumber party in the living room last night with the puppy. Popped in a movie, got some pillows and got comfy! It turned out to be a little camping adventure! That's right...I saw a cockroach! EW!

And today is going to be amazing. Going out for my favorite meal ever..brunch! Danny so knows the way to my heart! Then coming back home and doing a field day on our little apartment! I might even get on my hands and knees with a toothbrush to make this place shine!
