I love wedding days. The beauty, the details, the hoopla, the show, the attire, the music, the food, the dancing, and the happy. All the happy.
I send a million good thoughts to the couple and hope a lot of hopes for them.
I hope day of hopes, like I hope they look around and really appreciate this wedding day that will fly by, that they take a few minutes to themselves to be all oh shit we're married!, that they always feel the support of the people who were here to witness them saying their vows, that they don't feel too rushed, that their pictures turn out awesome, and that they really enjoy this day.
Then I hope lifelong hopes, like I hope they know that a bad day personally or as a couple doesn't mean a bad life, that they know commitment will carry them through when the love and even the like isn't there, that they recognize their job as their partner's support and encouragement system is now the most important job in their life.
Then I take a zillion photos, have some apps, and go to the bar and get some free drinks. Today is my 11th and final appearance as a bridesmaid. This old broad is retired. I'm going out with a bang.
Cheers to love, cheers to weddings, and cheers to two people who I love very much on their wedding day.
Cheers to my dear friend Melissa on her birthday. Thanks for being real, always speaking the truth, listening when I need someone to listen, always supporting me, and being a lot of fun.
Cheers to Friday, and cheers to you.
Have a great time at the wedding!!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteHope you have a blast! Congrats to them both and the official addition to your family even if she was already a part of the family. Wish them nothing but love and happiness in the future. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful day for you all. Wishing the couple (and all couples) a lifetime of love, laughter, and joy. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteBaby borhter getting married AND you love her makes for such a special weekend! Cheers to having fun and I'll be drinking over here!!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet! I have a relationship with my sister-in-law like you have with Aubrey and it means the world to me. They are both so lucky to have you in their lives. Congratulations to them, and a lifetime of happiness!
ReplyDeleteHappy wedding day to your brother & soon to be SIL!
ReplyDeleteAw, congratulations to your brother and not-so-new sister! My sister is getting married next summer, but we've been calling her fiancé "brother" for the last 2 years, so he's already family also. At some point I started crying so easily! At a wedding, it's almost guaranteed, even if I don't know the couple that well.
ReplyDeleteHave a great time at the wedding!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful time at the wedding!!
ReplyDeletehave fun at the wedding...I always enjoy busting out the "lawnmower" on the dance floor, hope you've got some good moves ready to go :)
ReplyDeleteAww! Congrats to your brother! And I totally agree about the "now we're family thing" - doesn't work just because a marriage happened. Family is Love.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend! Have a blast at the wedding!
This is cute! Have a great time!
ReplyDeletepost lots of pics on instagram! hope the wedding is as beautiful as they are! congrats to them!
ReplyDeletethis post made me all teary! yay for weddings. hope you have a blast.
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday! Your sister in law to be sounds soooo great. Isn't it wonderful when you actually like the people your siblings choose to marry? My sister's husband is awesome but my husband's sister's husband... not so much. Luckily for me (not so lucky for her), I don't think she likes him all that much either, so she usually leaves him at home when they come to visit us.
ReplyDeleteHave a great time at the wedding! If it's your last appearance as a bridesmaid, you've really got to make it count. Epic speech, lots of dancing, inappropriate song requests (I always enjoy requesting "Gold Digger" at weddings) =)
Ahhh, how sweet! Can't wait to see photos. Have a great time! Congrats to your brother :)
ReplyDeleteCheers to your brother and Aubrey tying the knot after 12 years. I hope they have a very special wedding day!! Have a blast and enjoy the rest of the weekend!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes to all and cheers to you! My sister-in-law is fantastic so I know how you feel.

ReplyDeleteThis is my testimony about the good work of a man who helped me..My name is Olivia Jane Mike, and I base in London.My life is back!!! After 8 years of marriage, my husband left me and left me with our three kids. I felt like my life was about to end,and was falling apart. Thanks to a spell caster called papa Justus who i met online. On one faithful day, as I was browsing through the internet, I was searching for a good spell caster that can solve my problems. I came across series of testimonies about this particular spell caster. Some people testified that he brought their Ex lover back, some testified that he restores womb, some testified that he can cast a spell to stop divorce and so on. There was one particular testimony I saw, it was about a woman called grace,she testified about how papa Justus brought back her Ex lover in less than 72 hours and at the end of her testimony she drop papa Justus e-mail address. After reading all these,I decided to give papa a try. I contacted him via email and explained my problem to him. In just 3 days, my husband came back to me. We solved our issues, and we are even happier than before. papa Justus is really a talented and gifted man and i will not to stop publishing him because he is a wonderful man...If you have a problem and you are looking for a real and genuine spell caster to solve that problem for you.

ReplyDeleteMy name is Jennifer martins, from USA I never believed in love spells or magic until i met this spell caster once when i went to Africa in February this year on a business summit. I meant a man who’s name is DR.madurai he is really powerful and could help cast spells to bring back one’s gone, lost, misbehaving lover and magic money spell or spell for a good job or luck spell .I’m now happy & a living testimony cos the man i had wanted to marry left me 3 weeks before our wedding and my life was upside down cos our relationship has been on for 6years. I really loved him, but his mother was against us and he had no good paying job. So when i met this spell caster, i told him what happened and explained the situation of things to him. At first i was undecided, skeptical and doubtful, but i just gave it a try. And in 7 days when i returned to usa, my boyfriend (now husband) called me by himself and came to me apologizing that everything had been settled with his mom and family and he got a new job interview so we should get married. I didn’t believe it cos the spell caster only asked for my name and my boyfriends name and all i wanted him to do. Well we are happily married now and we are expecting our little kid, and my husband also got the new job and our lives became much better. His email is maduraitemple@yahoo.com :or call +2347067607073
