C&C's wedding weekend (recap) :)

So on Wednesday, I logged in to Delta to check in to my flight to ATL for my friends' wedding (that I was in). I couldn't check in. WTH?! I was on the same flight with all my friends on Thurs afternoon... 

Yeah...no I wasn't. 

Someone (*coughJackiecough*) was doing entirely too many things at once and not paying attn and booked her flight for...Friday. Yeah. Many thanks to my awesomely calm fiancé who helped me not have a meltdown when the only tickets available were over $1500. Twenty-five thousand AA miles later and I was booked on a Thurs flight for a minimal fee. Phew. Needless to say, I don't think I will EVER make that mistake again. I'm always afraid I'll book the wrong flight and well...it's a real fear, people. Sheez. But, glad there was a great (and cheap) resolution. Wahoo to American Airlines! :) There's a reason I keep my miles with them. 

Anyhoo, while everyone else got to ATL then drove to Auburn, I got my butt delayed in Dallas. 

1. Angry people who were WAY more delayed than me thanks to some storms. They were scary, people. And I'm referring to the people, not the storms.  2. Me kicking back and waiting for my shuttle from ATL to Auburn once I (finally) arrived. 

I finally made it to Auburn around 11 p.m. (I left at noon) and was eager to meet up with the group! We channeled our inner college students (hey, we were in a college town after all) and may have stayed out til 4 a.m....and ordered over $100 in Taco Bell. Yeah. If you ever wondered about the cool ranch tacos, they're quite good. Just saying. myFitnesspal didn't get updated this weekend...haha...

 On Friday, we woke up and drove the rest of the way to Alexander City, Alabama, the groom's hometown. We checked in to our lodge and got ready for some rehearsaling (yeah, I made that a verb). :)

At the RD. 1. Kristy and me, 2. Cory and Candice, 3. The bride and her maids. :) Also, I borrowed my dress from my friend and I think she might have to come over and pry it from my hands b/c I love it. So mad I missed it last year at Express. 

Friday night, we all stayed up ENTIRELY too late, Eric finally arrived (wahoo!!!!!) from his work meeting in Denver and we made a Harlem Shake video. And it was awesome. I kinda want to share it but I dunno how people would feel, so I won't...yet. I don't ever mind being embarrassed but others might.


Saturday....

1. We headed to an adorable little B&B to get ready. Since C is a stylist, her whole salon family came down to the wedding. It was awesome to have professionals making our curls look perfect. :) 2. We did some yoga (hey, why not) and then headed to the reception site for some pics. 3. Where was the reception site? A fabulous barn! Check out the chandelier being hung. :)

 I'm already on photo overload, but I can't stop.... Here are some from the big day!

The beautiful bride, her event planner and all of her maids. :) 

Candice surprised Cory by not only having his dad walk her down the aisle, but also changing into a totally different dress before the wedding, a beautiful Vera Wang gown. :)

Eric gets props for this adorable shot. :)

Eric gets more props for this cool shot of the reception site. :) I dig his chili...and his mad photo skills, too. 

Finally! A photo with my favorite guy! :) 

...and another b/c it's my blog and I can. :)

After the wedding and reception, we headed back to our lodge. Even the bride and groom joined us for a bit! I don't know why, but late night yoga sounded like a good idea... This photo is perfect for the whole weekend... Lots of laughs and lots of fun with good friends...also some awesome randomness. hah.. I'll spare you from all the details, but they include: Harlem Shake videos * confetti canons* setting off our lodge's alarm somehow...at 2 a.m. * late night yoga * waking up late and almost missing our flights home * and oh so much more... :)

I'll leave you with this gorgeous one of the bride... We created a hashtag for the wedding and now it REALLY makes me want to have one for ours. It's so cool to see all the pics others have posted!
