Wedding Weekend

Thursday, I left work at three and Savannah and I headed down the road to Lexington, South Carolina. Travel went rather smoothly until I hit Asheville right at rush hour and with road work going on, well, you get the picture. We got to our hotel at around 8:30. We made our way to our room, which was very comfy and nice and settled in for the evening.

Friday, at breakfast in the lobby, I ran into all my cousins from Alabama and my aunt Donna and uncle David. It was so good to see them. It seems like forever since I had talk to them. After breakfast, mom and I went to get a pedicure and Dad and Savannah met us at Buffalo Wild Wings for lunch. They have got awesome lunch specials! After lunch we went back to the hotel and went swimming. Savannah loves the pool. Friday evening, we all got dressed up and went to the rehearsal dinner, at which Savannah would eat nothing except chocolate cake. It was REALLY good chocolate cake. We had prime rib, chicken cordon bleu, squash casserole, steamed asparagus, salad, and mashed potatoes. It was delicious. It was kind of relaxed and we were able to visit with other family members.

Saturday, we went to Fatz for lunch and didn't get back to go swimming until 2:00 which was kind of dissapointing because Savannah had been wanting to swim with her cousins and they were packing up to leave at that point. But we still hung out at the pool with Mitch, Brian, Domini, and Donna and mom for a while. Savannah played in the pool till I dragged her out of it. After all we did need bath and showers before the big event!

THE BIG EVENT! was bigger than pretty much anything I have ever seen. There were over 800 people in attendance. The ceremony was gorgeous and the reception was over the top. We actually ended up leaving really early though because I was terrified that Savannah was going to get lost from me in the great throng of people. You can just turn around and she will disappear. Raegen looked gorgeous though and I am happy that she had her dream. After getting back to the hotel, Domini, Mitch, Corky, Brian, Chelsea and I all went to Applebee's while our parents babysat for a few hours. We had a great time catching up. The one bad thing about such large events is that I didn't even get to say hello to my cousin that got married, or her parents. That made me sad, because I love them very much and I don't know when I will see them next.

The ride back to Virginia on Sunday was not even overly long and mundane. It actually went by very quickly. Just hate that it had to end so quickly and that I have to get back to work. For this week anyway. Next week, I am headed to the beach!!
