She finally did it!

This weekend we enjoyed the festivities of the Johnson-Rodriguez wedding. I headed out Friday morning after getting my sub plans in order, dropping the kids off, and then having to pick up my dress (nothing like stressing me out to the last second!!). We hung out with the local teenagers at Safeway (oh my gosh -- was that really us 20 years ago?), had our nails done, did the rehearsal practice, and then dinner. Everything was great and it was fun to be back in good ol' HMB!



Then the next day was the wedding. All of us girls went and had our hair done before the ceremony and then headed back over the hill to get ready. I still had to wrap the gifts, finish my speech (yes, I said speech - proof is down below), get the kiddos and myself ready. Yikes! It was a beautiful spot to get married and perfect weather. How often does that happen on the coast? Not often. In a word, it was.....perfect!



Here is the happy couple.

The bridal party.

The kids and I decked out in our duds.

See, I told you I did it!!! Stacie wrote a lovely poem for my wedding many years ago (if anyone wants to see it, I have it on tape!!!), and I had to return the favor!!!
Visiting (notice the champagne glass in the hand).

Briana trying on the veil (hmmm.....there's that glass again).

Dancing (yes, me in the background with a glass in my hand).

At sunset

Obviously, I had a GREAT time at the wedding. I tried to keep up with the precedent Stacie set at my wedding, but I'm afraid I failed as I never got to the point of having to drink salt water. I made a noble effort to do the best that I could, and I don't think I was too far off her standard.


Congrats to the newlyweds, and let's hope they had half as much fun as I did!! : )

  1. Congrats Stacie!

    You couldn't top Stacie and me drinking the champagne out of the bottle and eating all of the chocolate statue? Looks like you need more practice for my wedding!

     
  2. You better hurry up and do it then because I'm getting way too old for this stuff!!! I'll try and brush up on my partying skills before then though.
