Back to Reality

The wedding is over, the happy couple is back from the honeymoon, and yet another Thanksgiving has passed. Now, it is back to reality for everyone, and I'm thinking we are all having to make a big adjustment after all wedding festivities! And I know that some of us are having the expected "wedding withdrawals"...haha! But I must say, despite the crazy planning, arguing (between all the women in our family ; ) ), and stress of planning this wedding....it was ALL worth it!! The day could not have been more perfect!!! I am so happy that everything turned out the way it did for my sister and her new husband, Jason! It is everything they wanted it to be and more!! Her vision was truly carried out complete with an awesome wedding party, her family and friends surrounding her, a perfect ceremony, an incredible reception with wonderful food, drinks, cake, and most importantly, a "Dancing Queen" song with none other than the beautiful bride herself surrounded by a singing entourage! It was definitely a night to remember! In fact, I vividly remember taking a moment during the reception to take a look at my sis and her new hubby and saw the true happiness in their eyes! I soaked in the fun moments as well as the tearful ones! It couldn't have been a more perfect night...or a more perfect weekend for that matter! The only thing that I was disappointed about, however, was not catching the bouquet! But, that was my fault b/c I got excited and jumped too early....dang it for being impatient! and for JUMPING for that matter!...if only I would have stood in my spot like a lady, the bouquet would have drifted its way right into my hands....that's okay, maybe the next wedding!

Which brings me to my next point! While I was cleaning out my closet the other day, I decided to move all my bridesmaids dresses into my sister's closet. As I HAULED the load across the hallway and struggled to hang all of the dresses up in their new closet, I immediately thought of Katherine Heigl in 27 Dresses....I mean seriously! I LITERALLY had to SHOVE the dresses into the closet, there were so many, and then had to slam the doors shut to keep the dresses in! I know there are others out there who have had to do this before....let me know your experiences! I need to know I am not alone in this situation! Cheers!
