This weekend one of my very best friends walked down the aisle! Kaitlin is one of the best people I know and I couldn't imagine a better fit for her than John. They really are two of a kind and totally compliment each other. And their wedding day was exactly what I envisioned for the start of their lives together.
Per the usual, we showed up to the wedding late right as all the important people were being seated. We had to walk around through a hallway where we bumped into the lady of the day.
 |
| Surprise! |
I love a good Catholic ceremony. I know everyone else dreads a Catholic wedding, but not this girl.
 |
| Vows! |
They both did really well, even though the priest called Kaitlin out on using her inside voice for the vows. She should have used her teacher voice!
 |
| Pretty friends. |
 |
| So excited! |
Trying to get a picture with the bride is not an easy task! That gal is a popular lady!!!
 |
| Seriously, aren't my friends pretty? |
We headed to Waldo for a little in-between-fun. I wanted so badly to sit on the rooftop bar at the Well, but couldn't really get anyone on board as it was 104 degrees out. So we went to Tanners instead. You won this time, air conditioning.
 |
| Secrets. |
I never like to pass up a good photo-opp. Drew is such a good sport.
 |
| Awkward Family Photos. |
 |
| Yar! |
And then it was time to leave.
The reception was held at The Simpson House, a lovely little venue right off the Plaza.
 |
| Speeches. |
I have never been to a wedding with such amazing speeches and toasts. Seriously, I laughed, I cried. Really good speech making. Good job, people.
 |
| That's not their baby. |
And, the rest of the night was spent drinking too much wine and having way too much fun with friends. That's what weddings are about, right?
 |
| Yes, they agree. |
So, in true Gibbystyle fashion, I'm just going to show ya'll a bunch of pics and let you make up the story in your head. I'm sure you'll get it right. I'll add some pertinent details when I feel it's necessary.
 |
| ??? |
 |
| Best wedding cake ever. And I know wedding cake. |
 |
| I love you. |
 |
| Boys table. |
 |
| Love you too! |
 |
| Bestie flew in all the way from England! |
 |
| Cray-Cray. |
 |
| Girls just want to have fun. |
 |
| Assaulting Meggy with my enormous arms. |
 |
| Caddy & the BF. |
 |
| They mean business. |
 |
| 2J Reunited!!! |
 |
| You know Sam, you bring up a good point. |
 |
| The original head-on-a-stick. |
 |
| Oh hell no. |
 |
| I got mad at him but then forgot why. I'm going to guess it was because I was drunk. |
 |
| The happy couple! |
 |
| Seriously, love them. |
 |
| Seriously. |
 |
| Maybe my favorite picture of the night. |
 |
| What? |
 |
| The last roomies I ever had before I moved in with a boy. |
 |
| Sweet tan lines. |
 |
| Jazz hands! |
 |
| Extreme Jazz Hands. |
 |
| Hilarity on the dance floor. |
 |
| And more... |
 |
| She's serious about those jazz hands. |
 |
| The sweet couple dancing the night away. |
 |
| OMG. Please stop drinking immediately. |
 |
| Those aren't jazz hands. |
 |
| We made up. |
After an incredible reception full of
way too many glasses of wine tons of fun and dancing, the responsible thing to do would be to go home and stop the madness. Unfortunately, our good sense and judgement went out the window along with Kaitlin's single status. So we headed to the Moose. Because if you're going to be an ass in public, might as well do it close to home.
 |
| What are you thinking?! |
 |
| I should be in bed. |
Going out when you've had to much too drink usually ends up with bad things happening. Like fighting with friends. Matt told Katy that she and I got into a fight last night. Drew confirmed. Neither of us remembers, but the word on the street is that Katy called me a b*tch. I know, right?!?
 |
| Fighting?!? |
I asked Drew why she called me a b*tch and he basically told me I was being a b*tch. So I guess that makes sense. Oops!
 |
| And then we obviously made up. |
 |
| Public intoxication is not a laughing matter. |
 |
| I gett clingy and lovey. Drew likes it, I swear. |
 |
| Moose! |
Seriously, best night ever. I know I say this all the time, but I have the best friends in the entire universe. I mean, they are the best.
Thank you Kaitlin and John for allowing us to be part of your special day. I so look forward to being a part of your new lives together! I mean, not in a creepy way. I just hope we still get to hang out.
Love you!
