Boy, there is nothing to make you feel old than watching your littlest sister saying, "I do." AND realizing that YOU have been married for, like, ever AND you have two kids AND you had to dye your hair to hide your grey.
Sigh.
The wedding was fantastic. What a party! Damn. Everyone ate, drank, danced and had an awesome time.
Not to take anything away from the bride and groom, but Katie and Cuzzin' Joey stole the show at times. They were dancing machines and their walk down the aisle during the ceremony was priceless ("No, Joey! Keep on walking! Don't stop!").
I had a slight disaster with my hair though. I wanted it cut a bit different. The hairdresser did a good job and it did, at one point, look really cute. Then she started to blow dry and kept blow drying and then KEPT blow drying until I had a helmet for hair. I mean this is what I looked like.....
No, really. I did. It was ridiculous. She made me look even more like a MOM than I already did, if that was possible. After a quick wash out at my sisters condo, it looked kinda okay.
We also had a visit with Cuzzin' Matty, his Mom and Dad, Grandma and Grandpa, Aunt Chris, Uncle Marty and Cuzzin' Gina. We had the most awesome ham and fruit salad ever and Katie discovered that she loved squash. She ate five bowls of it.
There was a lot that went on this past weekend. All the pics are over on Flickr. Feel free to check them out.
Here are a few of my favorites:
Sleepy time.
The 3 hour time difference hit Katie pretty hard.
But not hard enough to keep her outta the
hotel pool.
Wheeeeeeeeeee!
Grandpa had Mikey in hysterics for about 10 minutes.
Kari and Andrew (can I call him Andy?) were
very relaxed about the wedding protocol.
Mikey was having a hard time, so they let
me wear him into the reception for my introduction.
He stayed there for the rest of the night.
Here is the happy couple cutting their totally
yummy cake.
The prettiest girls of the evening.
Grandma & Grandpa party down with the grandkids.
This is a great shot of Kari being Kari.
All three! Looking in the same direction (sort of)!
I am awesome.
Three outta four smiling ain't bad.
And a little side note, Katie is wearing her flower girl dress as I am typing this entry.
