Let's just say it was one crazy busy weekend. I never realized how much work goes into planning a wedding and this one was no exception. I truely enjoyed being the personal attendant at this wedding. The bride was wonderful to work with and it was so much fun all around. In the process of making a last minute stop at the hotel room, before the wedding, for a pair of slip on shoes for the bride to wear during the dance, I came across a bag with a box in it. Out of curiousity I opened it and here it was the groom's wedding band. Go me. In the last lap around the big hotel room, I swiped a shout to go wipe from a gift basket, just in case. Good thing. That came in handly early during the dinner, when the groom got chocolate on his suit jacket and it rubbed against the bride's gown. Yikes. But, everyone loved the chocolate fountain! All in all, the wedding was beautiful, the bride was gorgeous, the wedding party looked wonderful, the reception food was great and people danced it up that evening.
My legs hurt from running to and form the bar for a quick shot with some cousins and other family members...plus, I opted to dance barefoot, as I aquired three blisters that day. I plan to rest the next day or so and then get back into my running. Wednesday I will be heading home. Less than 3 weeks until my sisters wedding, and I can hardly wait!
Happy running, y'all!

Awwwwhhhhhh the bride looks beautiful!! Now THAT is the way to go down as far as leg injuries go . . . running to and from the bar LMAO! You crack me up!!
It was cold and damp... that is why I was running. I had on a summer dress... I was chilled! I am not a drunk! hehehe.
Sounds like you were a very attentive attendant!
Looks like a fun night. I wore slippers during the reception and on the dance floor. So much fun!

Looks like a lot fun. And what a great attendant you were.

Would love to see more pictures!
Rest up, you deserve it!!!
I'm sure it was a special day for all involved. Hope you had a great time and safe trip home!!
Sounds like a fun time! Glad you had a nice time, and seemed to be very helpful to all.
A fun time indeed...those North Dakota weddings are done in style....ours was actually done across the river at a small country church just north of East Grand Forks in 2001...it was awesome though and the reception afterwards I think was at a VFW near the Cabello's store on the river. Fun was had by all, even me who doesn't know how to dance, has no rhythm (can't spell it either), but with a drink or two anything is possible.
Sounds like a beautiful day and a fun weekend!
Good weekend only to be followed by an even better one in a few week,eh?!
You if you had worn your Garmin this weekend you could have added some more miles to your ticker :-)
You saved the day!! Nice work. Of course you are not a drunk. :-) You were chilled so you thought that the shot might warm you up. Yeeeaaaahhhhh.....that's it. ;-)
Sounds like a beautiful wedding and you kept busy!
