My dad took these from inside the reception while I was outside getting hammered!
(Other things my dad said: “Don’t get any ideas. For your wedding, we’re bringing in White Castle.”)
The positively glowing Jessica at the head table…
Annie giving her toast. “To the journey!”
Here’s me and Nick eating our delicious wedding meal. I had Eggplant Napoleon [...]
Jess’s reception was at The Pennsylvanian, which used to be a railroad station.
(Probably the first and last time I will ride in a stretch hummer.)
In the rotunda was a raw bar, an antipasto table, and a glorious waitstaff that brought amazing foodstuffs TO YOU. Like LAMB LOLLIPOPS. (I very proudly used my Food Network/Top Chef [...]
I had never been a bridesmaid before this, but I’m pretty sure that I’m spoiled for life after this wedding. Everything was calm, and well-thought-out. There were no flip-outs, no breakdowns. Annie and I arrived at Jess’s house to get ready for the big day. The stylist and make-up artist who worked on Jess [...]
Chris’s parents graciously hosted the rehearsal dinner at Jess’s parents house. Despite the heat, it was a wonderful, wonderful evening of white tents and BBQ and drinking.
The plate closest to the camera was mine, and was the first full solid meal I had had since coming off the master cleanse. So much for raw [...]
The day I moved into my tiny single dorm room at Teter-Wissler 3, we had a meeting to get acquainted with everyone on the floor. The RA had come up with one of those “get to know you” games, where each person had a Disney character written on a piece of paper, and you [...]
The nice thing about Damon’s family is that they are amazingly easy to get along with. I don’t dread going to family weddings with my boyfriend, which is a big plus, because I feel as though his family has approved of me, and won’t judge me (severely) if I am double-fisting free drinks at the [...]
I may or may not have mentioned this, but at my cousin’s wedding last spring, I caught the bouquet.
Let me preface this by saying that I think the tradition of the bouquet toss at the wedding is a beautiful one. [long ago, it was believed that certain herbs contained in a bouquet held good luck, and it [...]
I wanted to post this a week ago and LiveJournal is so totally worthless.
…I was at the Michigan Homestead this past weekend for my cousin Allory’s wedding. If the weekend had a theme song, it would be “We are Family” by Sister Sledge, because there was much family-togetherness, in the best possible way. Or maybe “Celebrate!” by Kool and [...]
More pictures from Nicole’s wedding, all of which I stole from one BFF, .
Some moments are so great to capture:
If a picture summed up Nicole:
I liked this picture because Tom looked like a little angel:
My boyfriend, on the other hand…
Jody, Jess, and I, Pre-bouquet toss:
Sidenote on Bouquet Tossing: Let me preface this by saying that I think [...]
My trip up north culminated with the wedding of my friend Nicole, a good friend from high school, and a member of the notorious group “The Giners”
[P.S Most of these photos by Emily/Katey Zoladz/Dudderar or her hubby, Chris. I don't know. I was drunk. Some are by Damon, and JESSICA, WHERE ARE YOURS you LITTLE [...]
Note: All these pictures are courtesy of one Miss , so I didn’t take a single one of these. I also used a pirated version of Photoshop on Damon’s PC. Also? They are in no particular order, so my drunkenness does not progress photographically. The only honest thing about these pictures: the LOVE, people. THE LOVE.
Here’s picture [...]
I went home to Grand Rapids this weekend. I could tell you where this is, but it’s just easier if I point to a specified location on my right palm. [Hardy har, laugh at the Michigander.]
We (Me, Matt, Stadt, Nicole, and Nick) embarked on our eastward journey, in 3498524357 cars, because we are that efficient. [...]
Damon and I attended his cousin’s wedding in Frankfort, Kentucky this weekend. While my initial feelings were ones of paralyzing FEAR — i.e. blurting out something ridiculously inappropriate/revealing too much cleavage/vomiting over his mother’s shoes – I was oddly comfortable in the family surroundings. In fact, I seemed to survive the weekend without so much as an inept [...]
“Funny thing.. I took my tuxedo out of mothballs yesterday. Looks pretty good, too. You know, suits are like men. They like to step out once in a while with a pretty dress. That suit of mine does the greatest one-step you ever saw.”
– Grandpa, Meet Me in St. Louis (1944)
I went to a wedding in [...]
