Most of you know that Jess and I were sorority sisters in college and have traveled the world together. In fact, she was my travel buddy on my most recent trip to Croatia and Germany. At first I didn't think I would be able to attend her wedding since she lives in Toronto and at the time we were in Delaware and I was going to be about 9 months pregnant....not a great time to travel. Then we moved to Delaware and since the wedding was in a vineyard only about 45 minutes from Buffalo I was excited to be able to go. I was planning on being pregnant at the the time but surprise I wasn't so I was able to do some of the wine sampling. Woo hoo! Adam had to stay home with Audrey so I missed having him there.
The wedding was beautiful and the weather held out! Crossing the border took awhile since it was both Canada Day and 4th of July weekend. Our friends Jennifer and Nate came the day before to hang out with us and meet Audrey. Lucky them planned to come anyways and since Audrey came early she got to meet them. I'm beginning to think that Audrey wanted to come early to greet all the visitors we were planning on having!
It was a great little reunion for my college roomies and me! In addition to Jennifer, my other roommate Jessica was a bridesmaid in the wedding. I miss living in Indy close to my girls! Jessica R. (not to be confused with the bride) is expecting her 2nd child in August. It's another boy so he is Audrey's future boyfriend:)
Here are some wedding highlights:
Jennifer (or Woody as I call her) and I with the beautiful bride at the reception. See, I told you the photos were out of order. I was hoping to be able to fit into a pre-pregnancy dress for the wedding but only 2 weeks post-delivery it was not in the cards for me. By the way, if you are one of those women who were back into pre-preggo clothes a week after delivery then I hate you:)
A world famous Woody self-shot. She has perfected it over the years!
Here we are at the ceremony. Here is my other roommate Jessica walking down the isle as a beautiful bridesmaid. I need to inform everyone that Jessica is 8 months pregnant. I know I wanted my pregnancy footnoted in every picture that was taken of me!
The beautiful bride and groom exchange vows. It was such a beautiful ceremony and the couple looked so happy!
The happy couple again, this time with the cute ring bearer in the photo. He is Jessica R.'s (my old roommate) son. I've known him since he was born and he is a cutie! If Jessica R.'s 2nd child turns out as cute Audrey is in luck:)
You may kiss the bride! Woot woot!
Jessica with Josh. Josh was the cutest guy at the wedding. Sorry Dan!! I know you're the groom and everything:(
The first dance. Seriously, don't they look insanely happy?
One of the good things about being 2 years old is when you're tired you can do this and people think it's cute. If you do this and you're 31 people think you're crazy. Poor Josh had a long day!
Jennifer and Nate share a dance. I think the only person who missed Adam being there as much as me was Nate. They got some male-bonding time the previous day while Woody and I played with the baby.
The happy couple....again. Hey, it's their wedding day so they get heavy mention in the blog.
Everyone asked me if it was hard to leave Audrey for the first time. To be honest, it wasn't. I wasn't going that far and I was only gone a few hours. She was also left in the care of her daddy, the person who loves her as much as I do. I love her with all my heart, but I've always been a big believer in time away from your child. Children can wear you out and you need a break every now and then to re-charge. An evening with friends, music, dancing, and wine-tasting was just what this new momma needed!
