my period came on saturday. i was prepared.
***
Jen and Sean's day was filled with all things good. The ceremony was beautiful. Jen was beautiful. There were happy tears all around. Lots of smiling. Lots of laughing. TONS of dancing. I think we all have blisters to prove it. Jen requested her dj play "no country music" at the reception. *GASP* I'd never torture her wedding post with such twangy tunes! :) I remember lots of movin' and shakin' on the dance floor to this song. It's happy. It's feel good. It's encouraging. We'll go with it.
A few big handfuls of memories to remember their wedding weekend...
Jen checking us in, Friday night...along with our friends, Mr. and Mrs. Champagne and Pinot Grigio
How many girls does it take to open a bottle of wine?!
The hairdresser requested our hair be washed and dried naturally the night before. This is me honoring her request.
When going through my things, I found this. Don't stick an uncovered lint brush in your bag. maxi pads, q-tips, a bag of cotton balls and some strands of hair...Awesome!
Jen, bright n' early...getting all dolled up
Comfy morning
Cozy n' sweet outfits from Jen
Meg, Jillian, Jen, Alexis and Sarah

Wishing Jen and Sean many blessings in this next chapter of their lives.
Last night, Jen texted me a picture of the amazing view from their honeymoon, asked how we were doing and if I got my period. I didn't tell her on Saturday. That was not what the day was about.
She sent prayers our way, 10 virtual pina coladas and the words...
"when one door closes, another one opens"...
It got me teary...how thoughtful she was to think of us when they're on their honeymoon, when they should be too busy sippin' on drinks out of a coconut...
and how simple, yet meaningful those words are...
there are lyrics very similar in this song...
"maybe your reason why all the doors are closed
so you could open one that leads you to the perfect road"
It's all starting to make sense. And, in my upcoming posts, I will do my best to make sense.
Wishing everyone a Happy Tuesday!!

Beautiful pictures to remember a very special occasion. You all look great! Heartiest Congratulations coming all the way from Jamaica to your friend and her husband. I wish them an everlasting love. You have a wonderful friend Maria. She still found time to find out about you even during her big moment. That is what I call true friendship. I really admire persons who remember their friends no matter what. Take care and as always lots of love and best wishes to you.

I can't believe what a great job the hairdresser did with everyone. It looks like everyone had a great time, and the clutches are to die for!!!! Awww I am so happy for them, and I know you are too! Thinking ab you, and hope we can catch up next week. Love u lots!!!

Again, you picked a great, greattttt song for this post. I'm basically convinced we have identical music tastes my dear.
The pictures - fabulous! I think you are so beautiful, and that picture of you and the hubby - WATCH OUT, hot hot hot. Such a cute couple.
I'm not even going to acknowledge that visitor-that-will-remain-nameless. I hate her on both of our accounts this month.
PS, I totally think we should be friends on FB. Check yes or no!!!! hahahahahahah
You looked stunning and so did the bride but this is your blog so I think you are the prettiest ever!
"when one door closes, another one opens"...
That made me tear up too. Not like I haven't heard it before, it just really is hitting home.
WOWZA. What great pictures! You, the bride, the flowers, everything - so BEAUTIFUL! And I love the boys' suits! Very nice! ;)
...and in regards to those first two sentences: poo on the first part, and I'm glad about the second. As always, I admire you SO much and I'm sending more prayers.
Glad to be back online and able to catch up with you. Hope you have a good week! <3
Such a lovely, happy wedding!
