I’m going to apologize. I think this is the third post that’s basically been a recap. I promise I have great things in store for you, life has just caught up to me. First, what’s coming up…. I have a few trips planned! One involves fast cars and most likely many rednecks. The other involves a trip to one of my favorite areas of Texas where I plan on relaxing and exploring. They go hand in hand really and I’m in need of a much needed vacation. Did I say much needed? I can’t stress this enough (no pun intended). Plus lots of exciting things after that but I don’t want to get too far ahead of myself here!
Now for the recap! The past two weeks have been so much fun! A whirlwind of fun.
First, a wedding! Remember the bachelorette party I mentioned a few posts back? Yes, the one where we wore tutu’s out in public, that one…. well they went and did it and got hitched!
The Wednesday before the wedding, us ladies went out to Fort Worth for an evening of live Texas Country and some drinks. It was a great time!
Then came the wedding on Saturday. Since I was in the wedding, I didn’t have an opportunity to take pictures of anything. In fact, I have no pictures to show for the wedding day at all, except these. The wedding venue was in the Texas country! Seriously, you would’ve thought that I was the one getting married. Could’ve fooled me. I took these from the second floor of the home where we were getting ready.
I’m going to say the wedding was just about perfect. It was probably the most fun I’ve ever had at a wedding and the most beautiful. The bride and her mom made everything, from the invitations to the thank you notes. Every tiny detail was looked at and went together perfectly. I’ll try to see if I can get some pictures of the details and share with you later on.
Here is the bride, prior to the new last name! (Can I seriously be so proud that I took this picture?!) She looked stunning and I’m so happy and thankful that I was part of their big day!
Finally, how can we forget last Sunday was Easter?! I have a friend from home living about 15-20 minutes away and they so graciously invited me to spend Easter with them and their family. There’s never a dull moment with this bunch, I love it! An annual Easter tradition is the Easter egg toss. What would Easter be without a competition and some gambling, right?
Here’s how it works. You pay $1-2 for an egg (not boiled) and grab a partner. You start off close, about 6-8 feet apart and each team goes down the line tossing the egg to each other. You must catch it with your hands. Once everyone in the row has had a turn, each person takes two steps back (4 steps back for each team) and you do it all over again. Drop your egg, you’re out. The last team who still has their egg, wins the pot. If everyone’s eggs break the last round, the pot carries over to the next game. It’s kind of funny when it’s time to go to the park and do this because everyone starts changing their clothes. This is mess business y’all!
I’ve been curious about the wedding since it was in my neck of the woods! 🙂 Looks awesome!
I’m going to try to do a post or two on the wedding. I do have some pictures from the rehearsal but I would LOVE to share pictures from the wedding itself. I’m going to try to catch up with the bride once she gets back from the honeymoon! I thought you might be interested! 🙂
What was the name of the venue, again?
Chapel Creek Manor, I believe.
