This past weekend I went to Dallas to be in the wedding of one of my best friends from high school. I had Friday and Monday off for Memorial Day so I drove to Dallas on Friday for a weekend full of activities.
Friday was the lingerie shower / bachelorette party. I didn’t know anyone else besides the bride in the wedding (or even invited to the wedding really) so the whole thing was a little awkward at first but as the weekend went on I became friends with the other bridesmaids and they were fabulous. At the shower, Gretchen’s mom fed us some amazing 7 layer dip and tacos and then it was off to Billy Bob’s to hear Rich O’Toole play. We completed Gretchen’s list of things to do (including getting a guy’s underwear which she wore for the rest of the evening). The bride had a little too much to drink so we headed home early with a bucket for her to puke in and a bus driver who had no idea where he was going.
Saturday was the bridal luncheon with more delicious food including some amazing quiche and chocolate cake. I then snuck away for a break and saw another good friend from high school and college, whose wedding I was in 2 years ago, Mandy. Mandy proceeded to force me into spending money shopping and I got a fabulous hat that I can’t wait to wear. I then headed to the rehearsal where we got yelled at for not paying enough attention and for having a long wedding (which ended up being very short). We then went to Rick’s Chophouse for dinner and it was AMAZING! Best sirloin I think I’ve ever had and the salad was phenomenal.
Sunday was the big day which started with getting my hair done. Mandy had graciously offered to put my hair up instead of having me spend $95 on an updo that I would wear for 5 hours. Thanks Mandy! It looked fabulous and then we went and got our makeup done which also looked very nice. Our next task was a trip around Dallas to find the bride a bra, a quick bite at Mickey D’s and then off to the church to get ready. I was so terrified my dress wasn’t going to fit but luckily we got it zipped up and it only hurt a little bit:) The wedding went off without a hitch and it was off to the reception in downtown Dallas (where I got to catch up with another HS friend, Erin), then off to the hotel to hang out and then off to bed.
Monday I had lunch with my mom and then headed back home for a few hours of relaxation on Memorial Day. It was a full weekend that ended up being a lot of fun but now I need a vacation from my long weekend!

I'm so proud that you're blogging. And that I made you spend money. And that you could zip your dress.
ReplyDeleteBut she didn't have a bra until the day of her wedding?
