Anne and Chris's Wedding!
9:43 PM
Saturday was an amazing day! My close friend Anne and her fiance Chris got married and it was such an awesome wedding. Everything from the hair appointments at 9am to rushing out to the car in the drizzling rain at midnight, it was perfect and perfectly Anne. I thought I'd share some of the very few 'nice' photos that I have since most of them all just goofy, but so fun! As you all can probably guess, Anne is the lovely lady in white, looking like "Bride Barbie" in those blonde locks, and Chris is there next to her. He is such a sweetie, his personality is a lot like Kyle's, quiet but a goof-ball.
I didn't get a good shot of my outfit, but all us bridesmaids wore different black dresses and shoes. I did wear some cute black Steve Madden pumps, but after standing around for two hours during photos and last minute preparations, we all were in flip-flops by the reception. Kyle had a special request from Anne to wear a Trogdor T-shirt so I made sure to order one for him!
The center pieces were so awesome, they were Venus fly-traps! I took one home with me at the end of the night and it is now sitting on my kitchen table, I doubt that I will be able to take care of it for long because I have black thumbs, but it is so cool for now.
This is Vince and Dave, Dave and I walked together and he was the best! Everyone in the wedding party was awesome. Four of us may have started spontaneously giggling though the ceremony...
This dapper looking guy is Alex with his date Taylor. Alex, Anne and I all first met three years ago in French class at Oakland Community College. Back then, Anne and I spent most of our time trying not to kill Alex because of his constant pen-tapping and farting. Now, we are almost all grown up!
Sara Squared! This is the maid of honor Sara. When the other bridesmaid named Sara showed up we were then Sara-cubed. So clever, I know.
Besides taking ridiculous photos of ourselves, we ate yummy food, drank delicious mixed drinks and danced like crazy. Anne and Chris just made up a playlist after getting some requests and it was awesome. Everything from Journey to Nerf Herder, yes, the theme song from Buffy! We also walked to the Imperial March from Star Wars. The look on my Dad's face when I was telling him the details of the wedding was priceless. He just kept saying "Who are these people?" and I laugh and say, "My friends".

What an amazing wedding. Looked like a lot of fun. The Homestar Runner reference is awesome. :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Anne! This wedding looks like so much fun, and venus fly-trap centerpieces are probably the COOLEST idea EVER! Much more exciting than flowers!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like such a great time!
ReplyDeleteI was also at a wedding last weekend but the centerpiece I took home was just a big bunch of paper flowers. It doesn't even compare to a venus fly trap! That is sa-weet!
Your "Sarah-cubed" made me laugh. I'm part of a Hannah group like that! Except it's usually 4 of us. I don't think that has a cool name or anything.
aww i love weddings.
ReplyDeleteI'm in the process of catching up on all your posts! I love that they had venus fly traps. that is SO cool!!! Also, your nails are completely rad.
ReplyDeletehaha yesss, trogdor!! and those centerpieces are WHOASOCOOL. looks like such a fun wedding!! you look adorably cute, as always. p.s. "quiet but a goof-ball" is such a good description for a person.
ReplyDeleteAh! I have that dress and it's one of my favorites! Aren't the sleeves the best? I love your hair in these photos :)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to go to my first wedding (hopefully it'll be my roommates in the winter!). It looks like so much fun, and I feel like all weddings have just this itty bitty touch of magic about them! The bride looks beautiful! And you look lovely. And loving Kyle's shirt haha. I love that it was a special request!
ReplyDeleteAhhh, I just love weddings!! If I had the money and energy, I swear I'd make my hubs do vow renewals every single YEAR! Our wedding last year was just the best ever. Sigh!
ReplyDeleteAnd Trogdor...YESSSSS!!!! One day we literally spent six hours straight playing the Strongbad game on the Wii...not even sure if we ever took potty breaks.
Talk nerdy to me.
