Wedding Fun!

Well the last half of our trip to Texas was to attend Dana's wedding...we were adding up all the wedding we have been in collectively and have decided we are now somewhere between 15 and 20 weddings...WOW! With that being said, we have of late had somewhat of a sabbatical from weddings and I have to admit I forgot just how fun they are. Dana and I were roommates for over 2 years in college and we had lots of fun times together...being with her on her special day meant a lot to me and everything was beautiful...especially the bride!

We started off the wedding weekend with the bridesmaids luncheon which was high tea at the St. Regis hotel in Houston...totally Dana! I had done this one time before with her and it is a lot of fun. A butler comes and serves everyone tea, finger sandwiches, scones, and pasty desserts...yum! Riley and my mom went as well and we had a lot of fun!

Here is Riley with the other bridesmaids!

Hagan and Jessica were playing with Riley and she GRABBED Hagan's water glass and was trying to pull it to her mouth...I think she wanted the cool glass rubbing against her gums, but in the process she drank a little water and made the funniest face because it was pretty cold...it was hilarious! She was trying with all of her might to get that glass in her control!

Our bridesmaid gifts were these cute robes with our initials embroidered on them...we wore them all day before the wedding while we were all getting ready!

The great thing about this weekend was that it was a time for all of our families to be together as well. My parents were attending the wedding as well as Jason's family so we all had a good time together. Saturday I spent the day with the girls getting all primped and Jason spent the day with Riley and our families. I missed Riley all day, but Jason brought her back shortly before the wedding to say hi and that was just what Dana needed to calm her nerves...a smile from Riley!

JoePa and Riley dancing!

The reception was a lot of fun and Riley was a trooper...she was awake most of the evening dancing away...here is some video!

About 8:30 Jason was dancing with her and she laid her head on his shoulder and fell immediately asleep...she catnapped for about an hour and woke up with her second wind...she danced some more...needless to say she slept great last night!

We had a great time and can't wait for our next wedding...which is only a few weeks away! Also, let me just put a plug in for Southwest Airlines...Jason flew in Friday afternoon and his garment bag was completely in shreds when he went to pick up his luggage...not only did they replace his garment bag with a much nicer one than we originally had they also gave us a $500 travel voucher due to some minor damage to his suit jacket...when most airlines are charging you extra dough to even check your bags this airline is giving away money and fixing their error when they don't treat your luggage kindly...ok I'm done now! Now we get to go on a fun weekend trip...we're thinking San Diego!
