Doug and I have been married almost two months now... I figure it's about time to do some posts about the wonderful day! So here it goes...
My best ladies! They are the best bridesmaids and friends a girl could ever ask for. The wedding weekend officially started with the "Bridesmaid Brunch." All the girls (and Beth's little one's... John Paul and Madeleine!) headed to one of the best brunch places around, Bub's Cafe, for some yummy food and great conversation! It was wonderful to have all my best friends in one place! After all, my little group of friends spans two states and four cities. So to have everyone together was fantastic! And for me to be the bride... even better!! It was soooo fun!! After lunch we got our nails done and chatted! Great great fun!
Jessi. We have been best friends since college. We met our freshman year and have been inseparable ever since. We were Delta Gamma sisters, roommates, classmates, etc., etc. I was in her wedding and we have seen each other through EVERYthing!! Jessi knows me better than most and I treasure her friendship. She is a wonderful friend, a fantastic mother and I was honored to have her stand up beside me as a bride.
Beth. I met Beth about 5 years ago at the Frassati Society of Young Adult Catholics Conference. I wasn't even suppose to be at that conference... had other things to do and did not really want to go. It turns out that going to the conference would be one of the BEST decisions of my entire life. I'll save the whole story for another post, but the conference totally changed my life. I left the conference with some fantastic lifelong friends, one of those being Beth. Beth is one of the most fun people I have ever met. You cannot be around her without smiling and laughing! She can take ANY situation and make people smile and feel welcome. She is one of a kind (in a good way) and love her tons!
Donna. I met Donna at the Frassati Society Conference as well. I got to know her and her family pretty fast... I moved into their basement after knowing them only a few weeks! I needed a place to stay and they had one awesome basement! I stayed there until my apartment and roommate were ready. Donna and I became great friends during that time... we would stay up late and watch General Hospital and talk and talk and talk. It's one of the things Donna does best and one of the things I love most about her. Donna is generous and loyal. She moved away to Florida last year right after I met Doug. When I first mentioned Doug to her, she started planning the wedding. It was wonderful to have her here for the wedding... and my shower earlier this year. She is one of the best people I know and I will cherish her always!
Mary. My MOH. She is one of my very best friends. I am so lucky to have her in my life. We met through church at a Christ Renews His Parish (CRHP) weekend retreat. We were both in sweats and hoodies and I knew right away we'd be tight and we have been ever since. We spend countless hours on the phone with each other everyday. She knows me inside and out. She can often tell exactly what I'm feeling without me even saying anything. She is an expert at calming me down from any and every situation. I often say that chatting on her couch is the best therapy money can buy! And it's free! She has the most adorable family and I love being a part of it all! Mary if kind, caring and simply the best. When Doug and I were first getting to know each other, he asked me who my best friends were. I told him all about Jessi, Donna and Beth and how wonderful they were! Then I got to Mary and I said, "She knows me sometimes better than I know myself. She is super fun and kind and I will cherish her always. I know I've never been arrested and I really don't plan too... but if I did... Mary would be the one I would call to bail me out. And she would. " Love her!
