A trip and wedding…

This past weekend was quite eventful. The boyfriend was in a wedding in Athens, GA. This called for a little weekend getaway, which was much needed and a lot of fun. I would not necessarily say relaxing, but I am glad he was able to spend time with some of his close friends and people we went to college with.


The best part was that the wedding party had to learn the dance to Party Rock by LMFAO. I was so entertained watching them practice the night before and then execute (sort of) the day of. As I type this, I am uploading the video to Facebook. Muahaha – actually the groom asked me what was taking so long to get it up. Oops. Have to do what the groom says, right?


Well Friday I got my hair cut/colored and the boyfriend and I headed to Athens. From my house it is only about an hour and 15 minutes away, which I never knew, because it was my first time there. We checked into the hotel and I had to take a shower, because my hair was NOT cooperating with the humidity. Then we had the rehearsal and the rehearsal dinner – it was fun to be there even though I wasn’t in the wedding.


Saturday the boyfriend had to be at the country club at 1130 and so I dropped him off and I headed to the mall to do a little window shopping. I had planned to get a pedicure, but I ran short on time. I went back to the hotel and got ready and headed back to the country club about an hour before the wedding. Hung out in the boys locker room (scandalous, I know… ha)


The wedding was simply gorgeous! I loved everything about it. So many sweet, funny, touching, happy moments. The receptions was short, but a lot of dancing and fun!
After the reception the bride and groom headed to Atlanta and most of the groomsmen and their dates or lack there of headed to downtown Athens, a true college city if you’ve ever seen one. It was a blast. One of the groomsmen is a bar manager and got us free drinks wherever we went. I didn’t go overboard, but it was still a lot of fun.

Needless to say – it was a well deserved and enjoyed weekend away.


Here we are. The first is before heading out after the wedding and the second is right after the reception.
