You guys I have been seriously slacking on getting some posts written. Could it be that by the time I get home from work all I want to do is veg out and not sit on my computer. Yes. Or the fact that I have taken on doing P90X and that takes about an hour to an hour 20 out of my evenings. Yes again. So I am starting to write a couple of posts while the hubs is out utilizing his birthday gift (more on that later) and am using his other birthday gift to write this post (his new iPad). Seriously. I can veg on the couch and blog?! Who would've thunk it!
So. A couple weeks back a dear family friend married the woman of his dreams. If you follow me on
Instagram you probably already saw a couple of those photos. But if not here's a recap of the fun filled events. It was held a a gorgeous vineyard in Temecula. Honestly, the two hour drive didn't sound fun but was completely worth it once we saw the view. We settled into our seats after a cocktail and signing the super cute guest book. The had every guest sign a puzzle piece and will fame the assembled puzzle for their wall! I want to see that! I can't imagine a cooler piece of art! Once the ceremony began I looked for the father of the groom, one of my dads best friends since high school, and he wasn't sitting next to his wife. I leaned over and asked my mom where he was and just as I said it he came walking down the aisle as a groomsmen. I seriously teared up. What a great honor to have your father stand next to you in support of your marriage!

During the ceremony, when the minister asked for the rings from the best
man, something hilarious happened. He opened his jacket and pulled out a
box of Cracker Jack and dumped both rings out of it along with a couple
of pieces of the popcorn candy. The minister, slightly confused, then
giggled when he grabbed a piece of popcorn and ate it while passing a
couple pieces down the line of groomsmen. The entire crowd laughed for a
couple of minutes and it was a very memorable moment for everyone
there. After vows and a quick sand ceremony, they kissed and were
married. The recessional song was "Another one Bites the Dust" by Queen,
which was another tee hee moment.

Everyone made their way to the cocktail hour and food. During this time my mom decided that my drink was better than hers and stole it! I had to send the hubby back to get me another one and we giggled about it for the rest of the evening. On my way to find the restroom I stumbled upon the bride and groom and got a really great shot!

We settled into dinner and chatted away the evening with our table and had great conversations and food. We listened to heartwarming and silly toasts and then it was time to dance! We did the money dance, and I of course in true fashion danced with both the bride and the groom. The hubby and I made our way to the photo booth for some silly shots and we had some yummy cake. I was also able to steal a dance with my dad, which hasn't happened since my own wedding almost six years ago. Once we had our full of wedding, family and friends, we said our goodbyes and made our way back home. It was a beautiful wedding, and I will always love attending weddings with my hubs.
