The Sepeda Wedding

So I went to Ft. Worth (WOOO-HOOO back home in TEXAS) this past weekend for one of my best friends weddings. She and her husband have already been married for six years (another JP like me and my hubby), but she wanted to do it right finally and get married in a church. So I trucked it on over to New Orleans at 4 AM to catch my flight to Dallas Love Field at 630 AM. That drive sucked, and I late checked in my bags by THREE minutes thanks to the ridiculously long line at the luggage check in counter. The flight was uneventful, and my brother Galen picked me up at the airport. He is a sophomore at University of North Texas, so Denton is about an hour or so away from Love Field. Anyway, we go to claim my luggage and..... it's not there. It's on the 1145 flight from NO. So I get the pleasure of coming back to pick up my luggage after it arrives on that later flight.

Friday was spent mostly driving around trying to find an Olive Garden with Crystal and Monique, waiting on in-laws and getting feet and nails done at this really nice spa place at a mall in Ft. Worth. Descriptive, I know. That night Monique, Crystal and I went to City Streets and our Bachelorette Party was crashed by the Bachelor Party. I will say that the hubby to be (again) was mighty toasty by the time he rolled into the club. Anyway, we had fun. And 730 the next morning came WAAAAAAAAAAY too soon.

So Saturday we get up and drive on over to this beauty school... OGLE... to get our "hair did". LOL! Crystal (bride), Dawn (bridesmaid), Karolina (bridesmaid) and Celeste's (flower girl) hair looked great. I didn't get mine done, thank the Lord. But ahem, Monique's hair, well she would be the "poodle" that Crystal's mom was referring too. LOL, it was soo bad. So we went to JCP and had her hair redone into the Palin like chingnon. Although I will tell you that is not what I was thinking of when I suggested the hairstyle, but it was funny to see Karolina cringe when they mentioned it looked Sarah Palin's hairstyle.

We rushed back, threw on our dresses, squeezed our feet into those torture devices- ooops, I mean shoes, and rushed to the church. As Kim said, the wedding was short but sweet and the reception was a riot. I though Chris was going to strangle the DJ. I know we are from Seguin, but a little less tejano would've been ok. It was wonderful to see everybody, and I am so glad that we all managed to make it. It's a testament to how true your friends are when they will travel to come share with you one of your most special days.

I am blessed to have my group of best friends. I had a great time this weekend, and hopefully we can all get together a little more often. Easier said than done, I know....
