witnessing the wonder of weddings

We had the privilege of celebrating marriage of a good friend this past weekend!

The ceremony was so moving. The bride was stunning (the groom cleaned up well too)

And the reception was sooo much fun! I think our table had more fun than the bride and groom even had. :) We played games, had tie tying lessons, left the couple some interesting marriage advice and ate way too much delicious food.

Congratulations Jerek and Den! (lol- you had to be there!) ;)

Two weekends ago I participated in a Victorian High Tea Wedding Fashion Show at church. The gym was beautifully decorated and even had a runway. Each table was decorated by a different hostess who brought her own fine china for us to use. We had some yummy sandwiches, frozen fruit cups, tea, and cake.

The High Tea started out with a "silly" fashion show including a *ball* gown, *spaghetti* strap dress, and even a 24 carrot gold necklace. :)

The real fashion show included wedding dresses from many eras, starting from present day, all the way back to the late 1800's. I modeled an 1875 BLACK wedding gown! Despite not being able to breathe freely (it was a bit tight!), it was a real treat to be in it! You could certainly tell it was an ornate and gorgeous gown for that era.

My BFF Erica was on the committee and did an outstanding job of decorating and hair styling. Here, her husband surprised her with a rose during a barber shop quartet- I happened to be standing nearby with my camera :)

It's been a lot of fun getting dressed up and hanging out with friends. And I love that I have at least two more weddings to look forward to this year. Yay!
