The Summer of Weddings

It definitely has been the summer of weddings. Last night, I was a bridesmaid for the fourth time this year, and it was an evening of great celebration and joy. Brittany and I have been friends since middle school. According to her, once I told her my dad's name was Jack Frost, she thought I was really cool and wanted to be my friend. She was like the most popular girl in school, so I was pretty excited. We spent middle school getting to know each other and realizing that we had the same values and desires for our lives. High school was the best because of Brittany. Being on the dance team together for three years, we had some pretty great memories. One thing I always remember about Brittany is that during middle school, she would always encourage me by telling me I would end up with the best guy. (I always complained to her that she got all the guys, and I was just the "best friend.") Yes, I believe I found the best guy in 10th grade...my husband. However, she got a pretty great guy herself that same year. Ten years later, they married. The slideshow last night was pretty fabulous...TONS of high school pictures of us and some great Backstreet Boys and Spice Girls music. Here are just a few highlights of the weekend:

Dessert at the Bridesmaids Luncheon.

We put charms in the petit fours, and as each bridesmaid pulled their charm out, mom read the meaning of that specific charm.

The Bride's seat.

Front door decor.


Main table at the luncheon.


CUTE invitation behind the flowers.

Who knows.

The bride and her bridesmaids.

The two expecting bridesmaids.

What a beautiful bride-to-be at the rehearsal dinner. Thanks, Liz, for having such a great bridesmaid dress! I've already worn it again! :)

Brittany's BIG day!


The happy couple during their first dance...with the slideshow in the background. I believe this was a 10th grade K-Life small group shot.

And who says you can't dance when you are 8 months pregnant?!

Needless to say, I'm still exhausted 24 hours after this party ended.

Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Schraml!!

So, here are the four weddings from this summer...It was such an honor to get to be a part of each wedding. Four of my best friends married in the same summer. What a crazy fun few months!
