Julie's Wedding - Before and After the Ceremony

So we arrived in Victoria on Friday afternoon and headed to the country clup to help set up the tables which you saw in the post below. Then it was time to change and head over to the church for the rehersal. That's when Stephanie got stuck in the backseat of my car as seen in the first wedding post. We all knew that Karl was going to cry, so me being the crazy that I am, practiced jumping and skipping and even shook my booty in Karl's direction and said, "if I come down that aisle and you look like you're going to cry, I'm going to do that on your wedding day." Well, on the wedding day we settled for a little wink instead. I'm sure the minister was quite relieved since he also had a front seat view of my booty shakin'.

One we were rehearsed we headed over to dinner at a local restaurant. One of the waiter's accidentally spilled a tea down the back of the groom's mom - wowza! Coincenditally, Julie went to high school with the guy and the girl that did my makeup the following day was his girlfriend. Small town huh?

Afterwards we stopped at Target to buy those super cool wine juice boxes and some shorts for me to wear to the pool. That's where this awesome picture was taken.



Hung out for a bit and then I checked out of the party early since I was exhausted.

The next morning after I awoke John from his pillow fort, the ladies headed over to the bride's house for a luncheon. Julie had just come from a spray tan and we were checking out our hands for any hint of orange.



Then I was off for hair and makeup. Small town meant cash or check only so after quick run to an ATM I met back up with Stephanie and Erin at the hair salon. Here's mine
