best friends wedding - always a bridesmaid #3

there is so much to update, so i figured that i'll just do a little bit at a time and eventually i'll get caught up again :) first was one of my all time best friends wedding. i left the kid home and headed to nashville to spend the weekend with the girls and spend lindsey's big day with her. i was the maid of honor (#2) and our other good friend - whose wedding i was in back in june - was the matron of honor. it was SO much fun to get to spend so much time with my girls and spend such a great weekend with them. lindsey was a B-E-A-UTIFUL bride! she wasn't a bridezilla either, as so many thought she was going to be. i had faith in her and she pulled through. she was just glowing on her wedding day and couldn't be happier for her and john. he's a good guy and i know he'll treat her good - even though i don't think my threatening him had any affect. the night i got there, we decided to go ahead and get dressed up a little bit and head out to legends to meet up with the future in-laws. the best man also came along and we met a couple of their friends out. we didn't stay out too late, since we knew what a big weekend it would be. plus we were all kind of tired anyway.

friday was mani-pedi day and last minute errands. the rest of the girls got there and we spent all day getting our selves prepped and then the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner sprang up on us. why do these days have to go by so fast? anyway, the rehearsal went fine and the dinner was grubbalishous. lindsey got her bridesmaids the cutest robes! we each had our own special color and they were just so fun getting ready in. gonna be using that some more...

saturday morning we got our hair done and it was funny because my hair dresser i found out was mormon and had a kid out of wedlock too! she was now married and had one on the way 2 years later. i have hope! haha, ps. our hair all turned out great.

then it was to the little bed and breakfast to snack on some lunch and get ready.

and of course, as soon as the photographers got there and we all started getting ready, my camera didn't even leave my bag. :( why? because i don't know.... i did, however, feel very pretty that day :) but the photographers got some great shots - if you wanted to see some just let me know. they're at http://www.mastercreationsphoto.com/ but are password protected. they did great and were so nice. and thanks to mid south mobile dj's guy for getting a shot of me all dressed up that i can use on my blog :) haha. he was a really fun dj, too. he kept the celebration going!

the ceremony was beautiful and the reception was so much fun. i spent the night with my kristin and her mom in the embassy - so nice even though i just slept on the couch. their blankets were awesome!! we woke up and had breakfast with the crew and then kristin and her mom took me back to the airport after a teary eyed goodbye. i don't know the next time i'll be able to see them and so we had a nice emotional group hug. always hate leaving, but it was good to get back to my boy! it was a nice break with great people and time well spent. i did get a cool pic of the grand canyon too out of my plane window...

i love you lindsey and john!!!
