So here I am with this past weekend's bride and friends. Congratulations Tracy and Mike for a beautiful wedding. Everyone had a great time. It was a great weekend that really represented the best of the couple.
The weekend started with the bachelor and bachelorette party. We all started at the same restaurant in New Orleans. Then the men and women went to opposite ends of Bourbon street and danced and drank the evening away until we met in the middle at Pat O's. It was a night to catch up with friends and meet new ones.
The next night was the rehearsal dinner - a crawfish boil. The food was amazing! We learned to dance to Louisiana music. The couple has totally missed a calling as dance instructors.
The wedding itself was one of the most beautiful weddings I have ever attended. Even the location of the wedding was an expression of the couple. It was in Louisiana where the couple met and was hosted by friends of the couple. The other pictures are of the grounds where the wedding took place - you can see the beauty. Although I must say that I've been spoiled by the lack of mosquitoes in California. I was eaten alive by those evil little buggers.
My favorite part of the wedding involved friends of the couple speaking about them. The couple asked 11 of their friends to speak on 8 different aspects of the couple's relationship that the couple thought the friend(s) represented. For instance, I spoke about compassion. The couple said that it was a great experience because it helped them appreciate the roll their friends play in their relationship.
As you can tell, it was a great weekend. I had great conversations with friends I've had since before kindergarden, I got on average 4 hours of sleep a night (it's been a long time since I've been so tired - and on top of jet lag!), and I got to see my parents. Thanks again Tracy and Mike!
