My best friend and roommate from college got married up in South Bend this weekend. She has always talked of a winter wedding and the weather gave her exactly that. We had flurries the morning of her wedding day as we ate breakfast together talking about the excitement of the day to come. We watched the snow fall out the window of the room we got ready in and the flowers, reception site, and all of our colors really gave the feel of a winter wonderland.
I went up before Matt and Lydia, they came up Saturday for the wedding but didn't take anytime off work to get up there any sooner. So we had a slumber party all 4 of the 217 Harrison Apt. 2 girls. We drank champagne and laughed at the show bridal plasty. We talked about old times, painted our nails for the next day and just enjoyed each others company as we all live hectic lives that leave us minimal time together anymore.
Then at the wedding, not only was my whole family there including an adorable Lydia in a red dress to match my dress. But we had our whole Sexy Crew (my group of friends since Freshman year of college) together again, even Cody and Trista (and their baby who is in Trista's tummy) who live in Colorado, Rob who lives in Baltimore, Walsh who lives in Chicago, Billy who lives in Ohio, Ted who lives in Michigan and then all of us Indy people. It was so great to have everyone together again to share our friend marrying her best friend and love of her life. To see her so happy and fulfilled was worth the hangover and sleepiness I am feeling today.
