Evelyn & Lyle's Wedding
Last month I attended a wedding. The bride is good friends with my brother-in-law & my sister
and she invited all of us to her wedding. It was quite a day! First of all, that day we got a small
snow storm, so the weather was horrible. The bride arrived late and she wasn't even dressed yet!
So my sister, my mom, & I helped her get ready. Everyone kept knocking on the door asking
if she was ready to come out. Even the reverend came to ask us how long we were going to take haha
Anyways, the ceremony was really nice. Then the party at the reception was fun.
The food was alright though & the open bar was a one man booth
that kept going around the dance floor lol My sister and I danced together
since my brother-in-law was too embarrassed to dance!
I told my sister I felt ashamed of myself and my reputation has gone down
because I was dancing to Pitbull and Sean Paul, since I consider their music so degrading lol
But oh well, I loosened up and was in the mood to dance, partly because I had a few drinks.
I also slipped and fell on my butt (no I wasn't that drunk, I slipped on food that someone dropped).
Thankfully, it was dark & with all the lights flashing, not that many people saw!
My sister helped me get up & I kept on dancing lol
I did mix too many drinks that night though. I had budweiser, long island iced tea, piña colada, etc.
I sure paid the price later on. I threw up in the bathroom over there,
I threw up in my sister's car on the ride back, and I threw up one last time when we got home :(
But anyhow, the important thing here is I had a good time and I had fun! :D
Most of the pics I'm posting here were taken by my sis and her professional camera.
The quality is sooo much better than the ones I took with my digital camera.
on our way to the wedding!
my sister helped me with my eye makeup
we picked blue for the eyeshadow
I like how full my lips look here lol
my mom looking all dolled up!
this is when we arrived at the reception hall
we were taking photos in the bathroom ;D
so this is the dress I wore
I usually avoid wearing long dresses cause I'm so short,
but it actually wasn't that bad

as you can see the quality is not very good

their wedding song was: "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" by Aerosmith
my sis & I trying to groove to the music haha
the man dancing right in front with the blue suit on is the groom's father
I danced with him a few times. He's so full of life & loooves to have a good time.
He even said he could tell I liked to dance a lot lol

Wow, making this post took me the whole afternoon!
Hopefully you guys enjoyed it.
Last weekend I attended my 2nd SNL taping!
I got tickets again to the Dress Rehearsal (not the live show, bummer).
But it was fun! I'll post more about that next time ;D
Till then...
