Photo Booth!

Last Saturday at 5:30 in the morning, my roommate and I left our house for the airport and began our wedding adventure weekend.  And it really was a bit of an adventure.  We arrived in Milwaukee at 8AM, and with no hotel to go to, camped out in the airport.  We walked through a museum, sipped coffee at Starbucks, and got ready for the wedding in the airport bathroom.  Adventure.  After our dresses were on, our hair curled, and our makeup redone, we got in a cab and headed for the church.  The wedding was beautiful, and of course, I was fighting back tears as Barb walked down the aisle.

After the wedding, we boarded a shuttle that took us to the hotel, where we dropped off our luggage.  We didn't actually have a room, so we had to kill some more time by shopping and wandering around the Milwaukee riverfront.  Eventually we just decided to relax in the hotel lobby, before getting ready in another random restroom.  Like I said - adventure.  Then we grabbed our luggage, and it was off to the reception site for dinner and dancing!

After the reception, my mom was nice enough to pick us up so we could spend the night in Madison with my family.  Adventures and all, it was a wonderful weekend and I was so happy to celebrate with Barbara and Devlin on their wedding day!

Rehearsal Dinner

As far as what to wear, being a bridesmaid is pretty easy: you wear what the bride tells you. I've been struggling, however, with what to wear to the rehearsal dinners. Since I get to show off my own style this night only, I want to wear something that is fun but still classy and bride-approved. For the wedding in NY, I'm thinking about this Diane von Furstenburg dress:

Or this Ali Ro dress that I got on Gilt Groupe:



Once I decide on the dress, I'll just have to decide on shoes and jewelry and bag and hair... easy, no?
