June

So June has been busy! Has a few grad parties to attend, a work outting thrown in the mix, time to help out with the family when needed, turned 25, and planned a few weddings.
So the birthday, BIG 25 went well, I don't feel any different, but I never have felt my age. Age is just a number anyways, it's all about how you feel, and hopefully that's not old :-)
I planned two weddings last week and let me tell you that was CRAZY!!! The first wedding was on a Thursday, which threw me off, thank goodness my boss let me take off when I needed to for those. The Thursday wedding had about 50 guest, there were 5 bridesmaids, 3 groomsmen, and a flowergirl and ringbear. It went well, but leading up to it was like pulling teeth, I just do the ceremony part, typically, but it takes more planning then you think. It can get a little stressful, but it's usually pretty fun.
The Saturday wedding was HUGE, one of the pastor's called it a galla and that fits! There were between 250 and 350 guests, 350 were invited, I didn't count to see how many showed. There were 11 groomsmen, 1/2 of which I knew, 7 bridemaids, two pastors, a bagpipe player, organist, soloist, and scripture readings. And it couldn't have gone smoother, I had my best friend assist me with the wedding, because with that many people I would have wanted to pull my hair out afterwords. We got an invite to the reception and it was probably one of the funnist(that's not a word) weddings I have been to, it was hot since the power was out, but they found a way to make the food and they found a way to get music. There was dancing and drinking and it was a helluva party!
I learned that wedding planners become popular among groomsmen and it becomes essential for the wedding planners to drink and have fun and that's just what we did! It took it's toll by the end of the night, but it was a heckofa way to end June.
This month way crazy and I am excited for July, hoping it is calmer and lighter, but I like to have fun, so bring it on!
I have an exciting few days ahead of me.. my 2nd nephew is going to make his appearence here in the next few days and I can't wait to meet him!!
