Family Shmamily: Wedding Weekend

This weekend, Tyler and I traveled home to Allen, Texas to be a part of our good friend Danielle's wedding! It was such a beautiful wedding, and we were so glad we got to share the weekend with her. It was so much fun being with our friends and family, and of course dancing the night away. Danielle was beautiful, and I'm so glad I got the chance to sing in the wedding for her.

Here are all the girls at the rehearsal. It was like reliving prom night (so many pictures)! It was so much fun to see my "besties." We had not seen each other since we left for school in August!

After a wonderful dinner at Mama Emilia's Italian Restaurant, we headed back to Allen to finish the night off with unlimited bowling at Allen Bowl! Not only was it unlimited bowling, but it was "glow bowl!" That means bowling under black lights!

After bowling, we headed back to my parents house where we were staying to get a good night's rest for the big day. The next morning, I headed to the Nicholson house to help set tables and alphabetize place cards. We spent the morning getting things ready for the after party, and then we headed back home for a bridal brunch. The rest of the afternoon was spent participating in a punt, pass, and kick challenge at the Ellis house, and Saturday afternoon football (Oklahoma vs. Texas). Then, it was off to the chapel!

Everything was beautiful, the dresses, "the dress," the veil, the aisle, the stage, the flowers...you get it! We took pictures, and I get to play bouncer for the bridal room. I made sure no one got in who was not on the list. It was a beautiful ceremony, and once again, I'm so glad I got to be a part of it all. Not only was the ceremony beautiful, the reception was gorgeous! It was perfect weather, and they couldn't have done a better job making their home look the way it did. Here is a picture of the place cards. They hung from shutters which hung in between some trees!

They had lights strung from the trees and mason jar candles hung on shepherd hooks which created a path through the tables.

Each table had a lantern for its centerpiece, along with other candles. You drank from a mason jar, and every five tables had a different pattern napkin. The details put into the whole night were incredible!
