Why I Love Weddings

Our good friends got married last weekend and it was such a fun night. Who doesn't love a good wedding? From girls with really short dresses, to awkward dancing by the older guests, they always make for a fun night in my books.

Here is why I heart weddings so much:

1. Puttin On The Glam: Derek and I rarely get to get all fancied up together and it's always fun dress shopping!

2. Food: Good reception locations always have the best food. And then there's the cake.... yum.


3. Drink: There's nothing better than open bars A) when you're not pregnant and B) when you're with a group of friends and C) when the wedding is an Irish Catholic one. Let's just say there was a lot of shots and I drank one of Drew's pedialytes the next morning.


4. Dancing: Some of our friends are a bit crazy and there might or might not have been push-ups and semi-twerking going on at the wedding. And no mom, I didn't participate in any of that type. It's more fun to stand in a circle around our entertaining friends and cheer them on. Pretty sure the hubs and I haven't slow danced in forever and we especially enjoyed dancing to our wedding song: At Last by Etta James.


5. Uniqueness: Everyone wedding has their own personal touch. This wedding including the most amazing cathedral and a bag piper!


Can I just make attending weddings my professional hobby?

  4. We went to a wedding last weekend, too! It was definitely unique (ceremony and reception took place in a bar/lounge in Atlanta), but you better believe this new mom took full advantage of the open bar and dance floor on her rare night out! I haven't had that much "adult" fun in quite some time--I forgot how much I loved weddings!

  7. Nothing beats a good wedding and a good reception.
    That wedding looks GORGEOUS - holy cathedral! And, the reception sounds top notch - cheers to open bars.
    The pedialyte trick is genius! Well played.

  12. I am a huge fan of weddings too. It's like a free date and it makes me reminisce about my own wedding day. Too bad it's been a loooong time since I've been to one.

  16. I agree I agree I agree. I was at a wedding a few weeks back and even though I was pregnant and very sober, I still enjoyed looking at the dress choices of some of these ladies. (If you need a napkin to cover your butt cheeks when sitting during dinner, your dress is probably a little too short....)
