Going to the Chapel

I love my friends. I adore them in fact, and all the crazy memories we have made will be the things that I tell my children when they are old enough not too use it against me!

Yesterday one of my favorite people from college got "the question" popped to her. On her roof, in the rain, wearing a bathrobe! If you knew the couple it would make perfect sense. Her fiance then surprised her later that night by having their whole family and all of us ready and waiting at a secret location. I unfortunately had to baby-sit first. I love the kiddo, and I love the cash but it just happened that I really wished I could have been there for the surprise.

Since I would only be there in spirit for an indeterminate amount of time I sent what has become my favorite gift to give the newly engaged/married. An apron, because whats more wifey then an apron? I stopped at my favorite apron purchasing spot Anthropologie and then drove like a banshee over to my friend Chris' to drop it off with him to present in my absence. Little did I know as I was doing this... Richard was up on the roof actually doing the deed! I was there (kinda) in spirit!

So fast forward a couple of hours, I have super great newly colored and styled hair and Im babysitting. Baby J is chattering away and I'm waiting for news that the surprise has been sprung and or when Ill be sprung to join them!

A little while later I got a text from JenBunny telling me to check my email and this appeared. There's my buddy in all her future wifey glory! I finally caught up with everyone, we made a night of it at the bar and then a house... Phil Collins if only you knew how you became the soundtrack of the Richard and Lindsay engagement, I wonder if you could feel it coming in the air tonight?

I can't wait for the ensuing fun that comes with my friends engagements and hopefully Ill have a kick ass date at the wedding. We are dancing, drinking, after-partying fools in this crowd and I can't wait to have even more reasons!

While writing this I started checking out the other blogs I follow and one, A Cup of Jo, had a link about cute weddings so I went down the rabbit hole, and this is super cute... 100 Layer Cake via A Cup of Jo. The bride works for Elle Magazine so I feel like it's cheating that her wedding looks that perfect from the pictures, but then again I would worry if someone working for a major mag didn't have a wedding that looked like it belong in the magazine. Plus I'm a sucker for anything Great Gatsby!
