Wedding Weekend

September 10th, one of my dearest friends Shannon got married and I was a part of the big day. When she asked me to be in her wedding, I had either just found out I was pregnant or was days away from finding out...I can't really remember. Anyhow, I was really nervous about being so pregnant in a wedding, but it turned out fine for me and the wedding weekend was perfect in every way.
We spent Saturday all together getting dolled up for the big night. We all had our hair done and surprisingly everyone was happy with the outcome...that seems to never happen. Shannon and her mom had snacks at the hotel and we sat around, ate, put on makeup, watched football, and got dressed for the evening. It is so fun and such a treat for me to spend a long day around good friends.
Shannon almost ready to go!
We arrived at the church around 3:45, took pictures, and prepared to walk down the isle! I had to get my dress all sorts of altered for it to fit me right, but in the end I liked the way it looked! Here are all the bridesmaids ready to go!
The beautiful couple!

The reception was held at the Arboretum and was absolutely flawless. Every detail had been planned and well thought out! The band was fun and the food and cakes were so good! It makes me sad...but happy for them of course.... that most of my friends are now married and the weddings are coming to a halt, we always have so much fun and it is a good time to catch up with old friends! It's hard to believe, but Justin and I are working on our eighth year of marriage!
