well i went to Brians friends wedding this weekend. completely changed my perspective of weddings. i always thought i wanted a huge fairy tale, now i know what i want. the couple got married on his dads property. 80 acres, two ponds, 2 shelters, a barn/house, beyond gorgeous. anyone living in Columbus knows how amazingly beautiful the weather was! beyond perfect. the couple told everyone to dress casually and be comfortable. people arrived in anything from suits to jeans and sweatshirts. thankfully, i was some where in the middle. B and I actually were there to help DJ and did not attend the actual service, which was fine with me. basically it was a pork loin feast. simple, and absolutely amazing. Chris, the bride, got her gown mail order, and had her hair in a pony tail with one of those extension things, and changed into jeans not even half an hour after the service. i think there were 50-70 people there, and even though no one really danced, everyone kept making requests so the music was good. near the end, when most the people were gone, the bridge and groom danced (they asked to not have an official dance....they didnt even cut the cake)and then Brian made my night by asking me to dance. then there were only 7 of us left, because we had been asked to spend the night. we used a tent of theirs and camped out. we were out by an awesome campfire until about 3am. when we finally did go to bed, i froze. B and i ended up with 3 sleeping bags, two for on top, and one to sleep on. B being the blanket hog he is and bed hog, pushed me almost completely off the bottom sleeping bag. keep in mind that the floor is A LOT colder than the sleeping bag, so i kept shivering in my sleep and it was so bad i guess it woke him up. it was so cute when he woke me up, pulled me into the middle and just held me until i could sleep. just some of the things he does get me like that. then we woke up around 11 and around 1230 the bride and groom made breakfast mainly over the fire, sausage gravy, biscuits, and potatoes. it was really really yummy :) then i got home around 5 and passed out until 8, about half an hour ago. i loved this weekend. i want what they had....a chips and dip wedding, lol.
