Wedding pictures!
Okay, so I know I always say that I'll post pictures after a trip and I never do, so HERE! I'm actually posting some of the pictures from Andrea's wedding!! :) Woo!!
And I must say, I look damn good in these pictures, especially given how sick I was.
Midnight margaritas! Okay, so it was really like 10 pm, but still. We were doing pedicures, so we decided to do them in style and make margaritas to go with. That night, there was a big ass giant thunder and lightening storm (complete with tornato warnings), which I LOVED! It was seriously flash after flash of lightening and for awhile, I stood in the sun room in my aunt and uncle's house and just watched the show. It was great!
Bachelorette party! We were at a bar (that I don't think I ever learned the name of) in Mount Adams, which is an area of Cincinnati. From left, it's Bethany, Jen, Chris, me, Andrea, Lish, and Cindy.
Random self-portrait of me and Andrea. We all know how much I love taking self-portraits!
Chris (far left) with Bethany and Cindy, who were having super-fun playing with the bows to their bridesmaid's gifts at the rehearsal dinner.
The rehearsal dinner was at the Mohican Lodge in Mohican State Park. This is Andrea with her bridesmaids (from left: Crystal (the Matron of Honor), Cindy, Andrea, Bethany, and me {duh}).
We all had our hair done in up-dos, but it was cool because they were all different. This is the back of my head. I thought that the girl did a really great job, but my hair felt like it was going to fall down all day long! When I took it down after the wedding, there were only 11 bobby pins in it, so no wonder it felt loose!!
Andrea and me before the wedding.
Oh yes, we're doing The Wave! We were bored while we waited for dinner to be served, so I suggested doing this as a joke to Bethany and Cindy, and pretty soon, we not only had the groomsmen in on it, but Andrew and Andrea did it, too!
Andrew's best man, David, is a musician in San Fransisco and as part of his best man toast, he sang the bride and groom a song that he'd written. It was really cool, and a beautiful song.
My cousin 12-year-old cousin Brittany and me at the reception. And dude, check out how freakin' THIN I look in this picture!
Me and my mom. :) Awwwwww...
Andrew and Andrea's first dance as husband and wife. *Tear!*
The dj made all the groomsmen and a couple of the other guys get up and dance like the gophers at the end of Caddyshack, and he called it "The White Man's Dance." I actually got about 30 seconds of video of this, and it's hilarious! Most of them held onto bottles of beer or wine while doing this, and the dj specifically told them that during this dance, they had to either look down at the floor or up at the ceiling the whole time. :)
Me and the best man, Dave. He and I danced together several times during the reception, two of which he stepped on my toes during. :) This picture was taken at the very end of the reception and my nasal spray, Tylenol, and cold meds had all worn off at this point, so I was pretty much feeling like shit, but look how I'm still smiling through it. :)
The day after the wedding, Andrea's parents had a brunch at their house for the family before everyone took off. It was a mess of Spickers (there were too many in one place at one time, let me tell you what!), but it was still fun. This is me with my 3-year-old cousin Grace, who is just about one of the cutest and most hilarious kids I know.
