I sit here clinging to my singlehood...as a happily dating woman of 29. ;) The last of my TU bffs tied the knot last Friday in a beautiful ceremony in Grand Rapids, MI. Whenever our girls' weekends revolved around a wedding, it's a little less like a typical girls' weekend.
What's a girls' weekend usually like? Talking. Eating. Talking. Talking. Talking. More eating. We legitimately love to get together and chat about life and memories and what the future holds. And we like eating too. :) Mainly it's just a very relaxed 4-5 days where we get to take a step away from our lives and hang out like we did in college. So when it is centered around a wedding there is A LOT more activity than in a typical girls weekend. See what I mean. :)
In this case, my journey was....long. I took the red eye from LA on Tuesday night, landing in the FREEZING Chicago airport at 5 am, and then arriving in Indy at 9:15. The trip started off quite difficult for me. I am not a crabby person. It's just now how I am. I wake up happy. Ya, I know that could annoy people. Anyway...my mom had told me she would bring me a Concannon's donut at the airport. I wasn't going to be in Muncie a day that the bakery was open and these are a once a year (if I'm lucky) treat that all from Muncie-land know are worth their weight in gold! Well, when I landed (quite cranky from my 3 hours of plane sleep) I called my mom. She was running late. By a half hour. And she forgot my donut. I think my scowl was atrocious at that moment. Luckily it was just strangers in the airport who witnessed it. I was looking forward to that donut and my eyes were so droopy and tired and I just wanted to be picked up!! Boo.
In retrospect I didn't plan my trip all that well. We pretty much drove right up to Chicago on our way to Grand Rapids. Could've just had Mom pick me up at that airport. OH well. We had the time in the car to chat and catch up. The drive up was long. LOTS of construction and lanes closed. Once I was with my girls though, all was forgotten!!
Loved the car they drove away in...adorable. I like seeing how David looks at Katherine. It's fabulous and what every woman deserves. :) They have a sweet story. They went to high school together in South Bend, IN but didn't really hang out very much and definitely didn't date. Somehow at a wedding a couple years ago their paths crossed again and reconnected. And as they say, the rest is HISTORY. She was a beautiful bride. I'm not at all surprised because this is Katherine, my friend who can look dressed up and classy in a t-shirt. The bachelorette party was fun. Dinner and a boat cruise and fun presents for the bride. Rehearsal dinner was tapas and sangria. Yum. Wedding day = pink dresses, photos, gorgeous bride, sweet ceremony, fun party! David was pretty much adorable before Kat came down the aisle. He was puffing out his cheeks and letting out big breaths...looked like he was getting ready to run out for the big game. :) The whole church was cracking up. It was cute how nervous he was...but that good kind of nervous. :)
This girl is such a consistent presence in my life. It's so amazing to have a friend that you can count on. Just before I was leaving LA for her wedding she left me a very sweet voicemail just telling me how much it meant to her that I was coming all that way for her wedding (as if I would even CONSIDER missing it?!!! :)). She's one in a million, that's for sure.
