Going to the chapel... :)

Do the math. :)

* 75 Bobby pins
* One bubble machine
* A couple hundred wedding favors
* A beautiful Catholic ceremony at Dave's (and now Blaze's, too!) church :)
* A photography book for Tulsa's 100th birthday (as the guestbook!)
* One awkward moment with Blaze's new mother in law asking me about her gurdle (?)
* A case of bud light...featured in the pictures at TU. Classic. :)
* One hummer limo (when they ordered a Cadillac btw) gone missing...then back...then fired by Dave.
* Two former pageant queens (aka Rachel and me..haha... "Miss Jr. Kentucy and Jr. Indiana-right)...sneaking into the Miss OK dinner for pics..We even convinced the pageant moms!
* One WEDDING DATE (Aaron was FINALLY able to make it to a friend's wedding!!!!!)
* Over 100 photos
* One Cha-Cha slide and Cupid shuffle with Blaze, the group....and my mom....and her dad, too
* One adorable little boy serving as "ring bearer/bell ringer" stealing the dance floor
* LOTS of kappas circling the new bride and singing in Kappa style!
* One other Chi O breaking it down appropriately to Like A Prayer
* One "hospitality suite"
* A limbo game

* A dance-off
* A few tears
* An awkward moment where the bridesmaids walked off during communion...then back...then off again...with confused looks on our faces.... :) It was the boys' fault-they messed it up.
* One hilarious exchange with the priest about what "bubbles" meant (in lieu of rice). (He kept saying "so, where will "the bubbles" take place? Who can participate in "the bubbles?"-had no idea what we meant)
* One hilarious introduction of the wedding party as written by Blaze and Dave (think "Here comes Jax... She has known the bride since 3rd grade...and has taken up the sport of cliff jumping.. Please dont ask her to raise her arm or poke her in the side..." LOL!)
* One moment where I looked like an air traffic controller holding Blaze's bouquet and mine while I crossed my hands over my chest to receive a blessing in lieu of communion (since I'm not Catholic)

* One bride and groom who danced til nearly midnight...and glowed with happiness the entire time! :)
* One Michael Jackson imitation (Dave)
* One "Mexico room" on the "third floor" (when the drinks were actually in the Canada room on the 2nd floor)
* Two stalkers of mini pageant queens (Rachel and Jax)


* One amazing wedding. One amazing couple.
* A thousand priceless memories. :)

Favorite Convo of the night:
Rachel: "I really want a tiara and a sash.."
Jax: "Me too! That might be too far? Nah...Let's go..."
*runs BACK over to the pageant girls holding glasses of beer*
Bethany: (trailing behind) "I think this is a bad idea..."
Rachel: "Damn. I guess it is...We went too far.."
Jax: "Damnit."
Rachel: *really disappointed* "I know. I really wanted a sash."

Haha! I love it! Thanks for the special post!

I still can't get past how the bridesmaid dresses are the exact same color as what the pageant girls are wearing.
