I feel much better today. Well emotionally.. physically I feel like crap. But that tends to happen when you're 35 and try to keep up with a bunch of 23 year olds.
I forced myself to go out shopping yesterday and managed to find a really gorgeous dress to wear to the wedding/reception. I love it! So did H.
Reception went GREAT. Several times the bride and groom came up to me choked up telling me that H and I helped make their "dream wedding" come true, how they never would have had the wedding they truly wanted without us, etc. Sooo nice. They even did a special toast to us and gave us a gift card for a very nice dinner out - I almost cried. When they did the toast all their friends and family clapped and cheered like crazy. Wow!! Every one of them made it a point to thank me and H, give us hugs, etc.
And OMG these guys could party... I should've known since they're usually the last ones standing at our parties. Imagine what happens when it's nothing but their friends and family?? It started (the part at our house) at 8:30 and I think I helped tuck the last person in at about 4:30, then fell asleep myself shortly after. Yawwwwnnnn.
Fun stuff though.
We had the first person ever actually dance on our bar... Michelle's seen it and can attest that you can't actually stand up on it (ceiling is too close). It was quite the entertainment! It's not really built to support that much weight so a bunch of us basically held the bar up while H waited to catch the girl in case she hit her head and fell off... totally hilarious. (and I should add... not in the "embarassing OMG did I really do that" way - she was quite proud of her bar dancing skills )
Bride and groom actually spent the night here along with about 10 of their friends (yes, including bar-dancer girl). They all got up early-ish and cleaned up, then headed off before we even got out of bed! Nice to wake up to a somewhat clean house after all that.
Definitely a much better day than Friday, that's for sure...
