Katie and Jeremy's wedding

This last week brought the final days of waiting...Katie's wedding was finally here!!!! Katie is a close, dear friend that I have known since 7th grade. It seems that our relationship has grown the strongest in college and after when there were hundreds of miles separating us. Isn't it weird how that happens? I would go visit her at Clemson and when she moved to Charleston, and she came to see me in Prague. Her friendship throughout the years has been a great blessing, and I'm honored to be apart of her and Jeremy's day.

The wedding took place at an amazing ranch outside Waco, Texas. Moon River Ranch was everything Texas...I loved it! Katie's 2 sisters and I were the only true Texans, so we had the honor of showing the other 5 bridesmaids our wonderful state. Thursday night we had the bachelorette night in downtown Ft Worth.

Friday we headed to Waco for the bridal luncheon, and from there headed to the ranch for some much needed pool time. That night was the "Nacho Average" rehearsal dinner. Nothing better than Mexican food and margaritas!!!! Mmmmm mmmm!

Saturday was the wedding, and everything went pretty smoothly. The wedding wasn't until 7:00 that night, so we all took advantage of a little more relaxin by the pool. The hair lady started at 1:30, and from there time flew by!!! We were all a bit scared about the wedding....only because it was outside in June in Texas!!! Blazin hot!!! BUT, thankfully it was overcast, so the sweat was kept to a minimum. A few highlights from the wedding: ginormous bumble bees attacking our heads, bugs landing on our heads and getting stuck on the hairspray that was melting in the heat, and the owners dog that attempted to run out in the middle of the ceremony. It was pretty difficult keeping a straight face most the time...OH, and one of the groomsmen definitely ripped one during the ceremony...his face after was hilarious! All the guys were laughing, and all the bridesmaids were wondering who did what.

Here are some pics from the week. The reception was beautiful, and we danced til the wee hours of the night...thanks Katie and Jeremy for letting me be apart of your honored day!!!
