Weddings.

Peter and I have been to our fair share of weddings over the years, but we haven't been to that many this past year!  I must say I absolutely love weddings.  I love seeing all the time and energy and the planning come into fruition for that one special day.  I love seeing all the details, the center pieces, the invites, the programs, the guest book, the flowers, the dresses, the jewelry, the guys outfits, etc.  I love it all - I think you get the point right?

I love the feeling of love - the joy that is in the air at weddings is so contagious and palpable.  And I love it!  And my husband loves me enough to accompany me to them all.  However, quite a few of our friends have planned their weddings and already celebrated the big event.  So nowadays when we receive wedding invites in the mail, I am simply delighted!  

And this wedding was especially special.  First off, it was truly gorgeous, and the bride was truly radiant!  And second, I have been waiting for this day ever since I met Summer.  She is so full of love and so much joy and I knew from the start that the man that married this woman was going to be one lucky guy!!  Summer met the husband at a mutual friend's birthday party - and the rest was history.  I remember talking to her after she met him and as she described him, I couldn't help but think - she's describing her dream man.  And describe him she did - the best part was that he was not just a dream, he was REAL!! And now he's her husband.  Don't you just love that??

The details - the ceremony and reception were at the Arctic Club Hotel downtown, and I must say it was nice to stay in one place for all of it.  And they even had a cocktail hour!  However, I celebrated that cocktail hour by drinking diet coke and shirley temples just like a non 21 year old.  And they had the yummiest appetizers!  And we even had a sit down dinner - no buffet for these folks.  And the food was delicious!

Isn't the room just gorgeous??  Peter took these photos - must mean he thought the same thing.

Some of my absolute favorite people!!  The four of us worked at the Salon together AND I have been a witness at all of their weddings - I love being able to say that.  And Amy, the second one (in the top photo) from the left is pregnant - 2 weeks further along than me with a sweet baby girl!!  I just love that.  And isn't my husband handsome even with the mustache and all??

Here's to the next wedding - sometime next year!
