take it...or leave it...

I will admit I have a slight addiction to weddings

and every.single.thing.about.them

if you can't tell

I'm definitely a romantic

to every single detail

and I was a part of a beautiful wedding this past weekend

which my feet are not thanking me for

or my joints

yes...I'm still young as I'm always reminded and know

but my joints have been through heck

and they are not loving me right now

and have had to deal with my past four days in heels

all.day.long

because I love heels

but my joints don't

that's not a great combo

my feet said

I almost don't know what to say about this weekend and one of my great friend's wedding

I've been really behind and a bit tired

but I'm also having trouble getting through this post

{in a good way}

I have a great friend

who has always accepted me for me

who knows and understands me on a level that most people don't

I have a friend who grabbed my hand

as I was giving her toast

because I almost didn't make it through

as I about broke down in front of a 100 plus people

we make one another feel "normal"

we laugh and talk about that often...

 I had an uncomfortable 30 seconds of trying to regroup myself but I did it

 I have a friend who is wonderful and special

and I wouldn't miss her special day for the world

I do have a slight obsession with weddings

I love every single detail

and I so wish I could show you

every.single.detail of hers

because it was truly beautiful

but I can't

because I was in the wedding

and that makes it hard to capture everything

{on camera}

but I remember it all

very well

her

her dress

the flowers...cake...ribbon tied chairs

the lighting

her dance with Adam and her Dad
I remembered when her mom grabbed her dad's hand in the front row with a deep breath
{a happy deep breath}
but one that her little girl was getting married

I remembered how beautiful Julie looked and is

I will note that at every single wedding I have fun

making a fool of yourself dancing when you can is the best

because it's the only time you can get away with it

and the sprinkler and shopping cart rock

lol...

I remember it all

and all the people I hadn't seen in years

and the new people I met and spent time with

it was so nice

Bobby and I have always said

{even when we got married}

that weddings are meant to be celebrated...

 we will dance ridiculously and out of character just to have fun

and our feet will hurt...

well mine that is

and my husband had his shirt unbuttoned...

not by me

but a fellow classmate as a joke

and it truly was funny

because if you know me

I'm sometimes shy

and quiet

but I do have fun

and that's what all my friends know

that's exactly what we did

we enjoyed it...had fun...and cherished it

as a matter of fact at our wedding

we were told that people never saw a married couple have so much fun

yep...we enjoyed it

we started the dance floor

and brought it home with our friends

because we take celebrations to heart

and celebrations = fun

and even though we may be the quiet couple

we are a fun couple

weddings are such a special day
I always want to say

it is special

but it won't be the best day for you two

because each day you love one another more

no matter what you go through

it is always more

each and every day that passes
I love that

enjoying the simple and fun things in life together

is what it is all about

I'm so happy it was a special day for Julie and Adam

and so glad I have such a great friend in Julie

she's someone who takes me

and doesn't leave me

and accepts me for who I am

and if I talk anymore I think I'll cry again

because I'm a crier

who had to hide tissue in the tie of my dress

because I knew I may need it

so thank you Julie...you are and were a beautiful bride

and just a side note

I loved getting a pedicure...

really loved it

but I think I'm more inspired by my manicure

I'm a lifelong nail biter

but my hands actually look nice
I still can't believe it:)

 I think I want to work harder at not biting my nails

I think I can...I think I can...
