Wedding Weekend Shenanigans

Ello lovers!

Are yall getting tired of the "Wedding Weekend" title??

Well the good news is there's only 3 more!

The bad news is you're going to have to sit through another recap post. :)

Friday was a ROUGH work day considering my work bag

(including my lap top)

was stolen last week. I know. I kind of have the worst luck!

So after a cruel day of my phone blowing up,

Bry, myself & Jakey baby loaded up in the truck to head back home

for Lyndsey & Kyle's wedding weekend. 

First up, the Friday night rehearsal dinner:

(I'm stealing some of your pictures Stace!)

The fabulous soon to be Mr. & Mrs. Landmann!

Before you even ask!

Dress is from Love Culture. Literally $25 bucks.

My mom would be so irritated if she knew I was still saying that.

I have the WORST habit of not being able to just accept a damn compliment.

Girlfriend says: "Cute dress!"

Corin says: "Girl, it was SO CHEAP! Love Culture in the Outlet

mall. Only $25! Go get you one!" 

Too much information. What if they don't want to buy their own?

What if they just want to borrow yours?

What if they hate it and they're just trying to be nice?

Let's try this again.

Girlfriends says: "Cute dress!"

Your response: "Thanks!" 

Boom. Done. Move on.

That shall be a work in progress! 

ANYWAY!

On to wedding day:

How BEAUTIFUL is this dress?!

1. Monogram cocktail napkins of course. 

2. The cake was absolutely adorable! Annndddd delish.

3. Tree stump table numbers.

4. A piece of the reception spread which does NOT do it justice.

Meanwhile on the dance floor.... 

Colton was breaking it down to Thunderstruck.

These girrrlllllsss.. 

And then a few post-wedding shots with our fabulous bride

One of our friends from high school 

was Kyle & Lyndsey's photographer and I can't express enough

how amazing these are going to turn out... 

But what would all of the excitement be without a teaser ? 

Alright folks that's all I got! 

That was a fun distraction but IN THE MEANTIME-

my wisdom teeth are coming in and oucccchhhhhhhhhh.

I'm about to extract Mr. bottom right side MYSELF. 

Clearly looking forward to this week's trip to the dentist.

Said nobody ever.

Savannah: Bachelorette Weekend

In the words of R.Kelly:

Holy. Freakin. Weekend.

On Friday afternoon, seven crazy Florida girls departed for

Savannah, GA for a relaxing wild weekend in honor of our fabulous Bride-to-be,

otherwise known as a Bachelorette Party.

Relaxing it was not.

1. Had to pick up some necessities!
Shouldn't all Bachy weekends begin at the "Adult Supercenter" ? 
2. Our weekend rental :) LOVED that place!!
3. Monogram cups. Duh.
4. Cheersies and bling BLANGG!
5. Custom pins. Thank yoooou, Etsy.
6. Mandy, the gorgeous Bride to be, and myself.

1. Paula, Paula Deen yall! 
Dinner at Lady & Sons was nothing less than amazing.
2. After several beverages, we decided a ghost tour 
in a hearse was necessary.
3. Creeeepy house- Didn't snap any pics of ghosts
but we DID manage to irritate everyone else on the tour! Weee! :)
4. Dranks at the Chocolate Bar
5. Night One Aftermath. Empty champagne bottles errywhere. 
6. Recovery mode at Tubby's on the river.

1. Nothin like Ship Shots and live music.
2. Photo with our new favorite artist!
Check our Jared Wade on You Tube- this man will totally be famous.
#babygetsdrunkonsunshine
3. The "Superman" at Wet Willie's!
4. Present time!
5. More saucy lingerie ;)
6. Dirty gifffttt! Quite possibly the best photo ever.

Saturday was the longest day of my life.
We winded up back at the house around 5 where we polished
off whatever was left of the champagne and Skinny Girl Margs.

*note to self: consuming the entire bottle of any Skinny Girl
product semi defeats the purpose.

We did gifts, Pin the Junk on the Hunk- which went
unpictured due to its graphic contents-
and eventually all got ourselves together (well, most of us)
and headed to dinner at Jazz'd and finished the night at Savannah Smiles.
Best. Dueling piano bar. Ever.

Sunday was the longest day of my life.
Didn't I just say Saturday was ?
I was wrong. It was Sunday.
Car ride home = miserable. 

AT LEAST we had some new tunes to jam to :)

Don't forget to linkup with Sami & Leeann for the weekend updaaaaate!

St Augstine Wedding Weekend via Instagram

 Linkin' up with Sami (sorry I'm laaate!) for the weekend update!

St. Augustine edition woopwooooooooop!

So I mentioned yesterday that basically the next 4 months will

be spent celebrating one of my girlfriends' weddings

and this PAST weekend was the official kick off.

And if you follow me on IG I was a postin' FOOL.

We arrived late Friday and headed straight to Scarlet O'Haras.

Definitely one of the coolest bars in St. Aug!

After trying to finish what seemed like a 

gazillion oysters, we wrapped up and walked down

to Sangria's to meet up with some of the wedding party-

well, those ballsy enough to partake in a cray night of drinking

prior to THE BIG DAY. Yes. That also meant the groom.

Followed by bed.

Saturday was wedding day! The ceremony was at the cathedral
in downtown St. Augustine (holy Catholic wedding- but it was beautiful) and the reception took place at the River House. Which was on the river. 
Yes I did just say that.

We celebrated. We ate. We drank. Too much.
Then all the youngins went out to A1A Ale Works,
which was the coolest little dive bar/brewery.

Have I mentioned that I am in the process of 
OBSESSING over Sweetwater 420 Pale Ale??
I am. 
It started in Tallahassee and since then I am seeing a TON
of little places carrying this delicious-ness.

Sunday was spent recovering and, well, drinking Bloody Marys of course.
We headed to Conch House which has all the little huts over the water.
It was freezing but we were determined, damnit!

If you're a Florida/Georgia-area follower,
remember those elementary school field trips
to the fort in St. Augustine??
It seemed HUGE, did it not?!
16 years later I realize that is not the case.
So we made our way over to that massive disappointment
and watched them fire the cannons. 

Also shopped around a bit and bought this little gem!

I have seen these Lenny & Eva cuffs online but *had*

to have this one when I saw it! 

I LOVED St. Augustine- I can't believe

I haven't been back there since I was, what? 8??

So there you have it folks!
One wedding weekend down- 349872476 more to go!

Marriage Madness

Annnddddd wedding season is officially kicking off! 

This past weekend was Jeremy & Morgan.

St. Augustine wedding weekend recap coming soon!

how amazing is this photo, by the way?

Lyndsey & Kyle are in February.

Mandy & Thomas are in March.

Joanna & Andrew are in April. 

Also, Chris & Tiff just announced that they have set a date!

Thaaaat's correct, folks!

On October 26th, 2013 Bryan and I will get to stand next to 2 of our best

friends as they exchange their vows.

Since we are on the topic!

I wanted to share a couple super cutie wedding gifts that 

are way better than a BB&B gift card or cash... ok nothing is wrong with cash.

But know what's better than cash??

Monogram.

How adorable is this serving tray with matching coasters?

You can order a custom door hang from Etsy and change out the ribbon.

Lovvveeeee thisssss.

Also loving this monogrammed chevron 

(I love it when those two words are used to describe the same object)

pillow! Again, Etsy! 

I foresee several Etsy transactions taking place.

Don't you worry your pretty little faces- I'll keep you all

posted over the next couple of months.

Meanwhile..

Bring on the champagne & celebrations!
