FUN TIMES FRIDAY - Mike & Angela :: Wedding

It's FRIDAY...

And what a great FRIDAY it is, even despite this rain!

I have a friend coming in town tonight and then tomorrow my mom, sister, brother-in-law, and niece will be coming in tomorrow for a quick two day visit... such fun times are about to be happening... and don't worry I'll be able to have more time to share them this coming week.

I should mention our trip to Chicago was AMAZING! I have no proof that Todd and I had a great time because I forgot my point & shoot camera at home. I couldn't believe it! I even said to him, "I really need to take more photos for us and it's so hard to remember when you have a huge camera that you can't easily hand over to people to take a photo of the two of us!" and then walked out of the house without it. Bummer... but luckily I didn't back up the driveway into our other car as we were leaving... YES, that happened a few weeks back when we were going to Indiana. I may be "partially" losing it! We did, however, get some awesome photos of a beautiful couple and their wedding, so I guess that proof will come when they are done. Haha!

Right now, I have proof that we had fun a few FRIDAY'S ago with a super sweet couple, Mike & Angela.

I was so excited for this particular wedding because I have known Angela for awhile now, and being a part of this special day was a huge honor. I met up with her and her girls for some pre-wedding fun, but unfortunately, there was a 'slight mishap' that caused that fun to not be as fun as it should have been... the wedding dress shop had not done the alterations to allow Angela's dress to fit properly. (Note to all future brides: Make sure that your bridal shop DOES the alterations that they say they are going to do.) But luckily, we adjusted our schedule and they headed over to the bridal shop to get those alterations done! Phewww...

The show must go on right? And everything from there went smoothly and PERFECT! Their ceremony was so sweet and oddly funny. I have never been to a ceremony where the priest had goody bags for the couple, including starbursts and gummy candy (I almost dropped my camera just to swipe these from them... Haha! Just kidding!), along with a zebra printed bag, bottled water, a bottle of beer, and a watch. How funny!

After the ceremony, we headed over to Sycamore Hills Country Club for the rest of the evening. I was in awe of how beautiful their room was from their ice sculpture, to their cupcakes, to their table settings... everything was amazing! I could barely take my eyes off of the rows and rows of cupcakes that Angela's mom had made. What an amazing job she did!

Todd and I had a BLAST and felt so blessed to be a part of such a sweet and special day!

Congratulations you two... we had so much fun and we wish you NOTHING but the BEST!
