I got home on Thursday and spent that night and Friday helping Ash and her fam decorate, these ladies made a country barn look like it came straight out of a magazine and turned a gym into an incredible reception hall, it was all so beautiful. We had rehearsal and dinner on Friday, it was such a great night to spend with friends. We had homemade fried chicken, tons of salads and desserts to die for, in fact the dessert situation was so great that Erin and I had to get one of everything and split it, thank God I fit into my dress the next day ... well sort of anyway.
Saturday came too early and the other bridesmaids and I hit the road by 7:30 to get our hair done. I think this is when things started to get real for me. I have been to plenty of weddings, but to watch someone you have known for almost all your life and been best friends with since the Jr. High get ready for her wedding is just something indescribable. Rain came and we didn't care, things didn't go 100% to plan but it was ok, Ash looked stunning. After the ceremony we hopped in our Escalade limo (pretty ballin' for LC let me tell you) and went for a spin. I will say that LC is probably the only town in the world where you can roll into a bar with your own beer and no one really says a word. The reception was a great time. I somehow found myself in the "save him/her" role. Basically when you are a single lady in a world of married people you become a pawn, and I didn't mind so much. I "saved" Jeff from dancing with Katy and I "saved" Trevor from getting beat up by Morgan's dad / I "saved" Morgan from needing rotator cuff surgery after getting thrown around the dance floor by Trevor, I loved it. I also had a fabulous date, Ben. Yeah he's only 13 and going into 8th grade but how can you say no to a boy that taps you on the shoulder to 1) tell you "Hey, you look really pretty today" and 2) ask you "Will you please slow dance with me?". I think he made my day, it was too cute. At the end of the day I hitched a ride home with Holly and Joe and I found myself in my bed smiling. I couldn't be happier for Ash, she deserves to be happy more than anyone I know, I am so glad Dean came into her life! Ash + Dean 08.15.09, the best day of 2009!
