Hiiiiiiiiiiii! So, remember when I was like, "I'm back! I'm ready to blog!"??? Yeah. I don't know about you ladies and gents, but when I'm not getting home from work until 7:00ish, and then working out (which is a non-negotiable, meaning I will never give it up), blogging is the farthest thing from my mind. But, I'm here now, and hopefully that's all that matters, right???
So yeah. As many of you know, my brother got married last weekend, and it was truly the BOMB DOT COM! It was the perfect combination of great food, great friends, family time, a little debauchery and lots of love!
The weekend kicked off with a rehearsal at the ceremony site and dinner at Shoreline Brewery in Michigan City, Indiana. The food was incredible and the company was even better. Below is my friend Christy. I adore her. She is also responsible for introducing the bride and groom!
We went back to the hotel/casino for some more fun, where my hubby won $500 on a slot machine AND we had a blast dancing with the locals. Clearly, this gentleman was just waiting for some Michael Jackson so he could bust out his silver glove!
Saturday morning turned out to be perfect! I was able to get in a quick workout at the hotel before heading to the spa for the day. As a bridesmaid, it was seriously the most relaxing day ever!!! There's nothing quite like coffee and good friends to start the day!
Disclaimer: My husband was the wedding photographer, but he is still working on editing them. Apparently, they are just stunning! Anyway, I didn't want to bug him for pics, so I stole these from various Facebook pages...
(Me and Christy at the spa!)
(The beautiful bride, Karen! I just LOVED her hair. She was, as I liked to call her, a garden goddess!)
After an adorable "reveal" between the bride and groom, we headed to the gardens for the ceremony. It was JUST perfection.
We took pictures before the ceremony, and I loved how the bridal party mingled with guests before the ceremony.
(A little out of place, but here is myself and my sister Molly. I loved our dresses - AND they were only $30 from Target. AMAZEBALLS.)
The ceremony was adorable. Kevin and Karen wrote their own vows and their music selections included Coldplay, Umphrey's McGee and Daft Punk. There MAY have been a moment when the music guy accidentally started playing "One More Time" by Daft Punk, thinking that the ceremony was over when it really wasn't. Seriously hilarious.
(Am I right? Is this dress not just PERFECT? I loved the back!!!)
Unfortunately, I don't have any photos of the debauchery that ensued at the reception, but there may or may not have been crazy amounts of dancing, gambling, and general shenanigans that lasted until 4am. Best.Weekend.EVER.
CONGRATS to the bride and groom!
$30 is amazing, you look lovely and that dress is beautiful, the back is stunning. so glad that it went well and you had an amazing time :)
ReplyDeleteyay for love! p.s. i'm totally going to start saying BOMB DOT COM because that is maybe the most fun thing to say ever.

What a beautiful bride, and amazing bridesmaids dresses. A friend of mine was suppose to put on music for the first dance at a wedding, and in a hurry she accidently put on "murder on the dancefloor"... which is so funny afterwards!
