This school year, I've already been a bridesmaid in 2 weddings (including MOH in one) and invited to at least one other one in September. I do love weddings though, I just somehow forgot all of the time and effort involved. Yesterday Amanda and Ben got married up in NOVA. They had a wonderful ceremony, followed by an awesome reception. Amanda looked absolutely gorgeous in her dress; her hair and make up done. It was beautiful. The speeches were all very heart warming and tear-jerking. It was one of the best weddings that I have ever been too.
That said, I am absolutely exhausted. As the MOH, I've had a lot of responsibility and projects to take on over the past year including a Bridal Shower, Bachelorette party, a toast, attending the rehearsal and dinner, the actual wedding itself (which included keeping track of all things all the time), fluffing the train of the dress, not lighting the flowers on fire, getting the sparklers ready, decorating the get away car, etc. The list goes on. I had a fabulous time doing each of these things and everything turned out better than I could have imagined!
All I want to do now is sleep. The pressure really set in on Friday evening at the rehearsal. Now that the weekend is actually over, I feel a sense of relief knowing that there's no more pressure, but I'm saddened. I spent so much time with Amanda (Soltoff) over the past months getting everything ready and prepared. Now that she'll be moving to Pennsylvania, I'm wondering how the logistics of visiting will go. Lots of phone/skype date of course with an impending visit or two, but it's weird to think one of best friends is married. Well 2 down, 6 to go. Lets just spread these next few around a bit. :)
Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Soltoff!!!!
