One of Four

I am happy to say that I went to four weddings this summer.  And sad to say that I cannot go to Toni and Stephen's later this month in Australia  Side note- it's over 2K to fly there and you lose a total of five days there and back.  Bah.  :(  With those four weddings came two bachelorette parties and six bridal showers.  Don't forget the three baby showers.  Wow.

Krista and I became friends thanks to Dave Matthews.  Really, we did.  I don't know how many years ago it was but Jason Potts and I went camping for the DMB show in Raccoon State Park, PA like we always did, and Alison Hemly came with her friend Krista who was living in Maryland.  And voila- instant friends.  I remember our first real conversation being on a golf cart in the parking lot going to will call.  I just loved her.

Her husband Steve and I have known each other for a loooonnngggg time.  Poppy was friends with his dad and the rest is history.  Little did I know they would meet and become Mr. and Mrs.!

I am so grateful for the friend that Krista has become.  I came home to a world where people were already established in their lives and Krista and I were both still kind of figuring things out.  I had a new fabulous life here, but she opened a door for me.  We hung out and I met new friends and ran into old friends.  She threw really great parties, if I do say so myself.

I was so happy to share the wedding fun that she experienced leading up to this September.  Champagne and bow making, paper cutting and wrapping, flower girls screaming about the Biebs, breaking in shoes, pizza and wine nights- LOVED it. 

I'm pretty much the only "non high school" girlfriend who was closely involved with the whole wedding thing.  I think I might become an honorary Kenston Bomber!  I also have to mention how grateful I am to have met the friends that she has had for so many years.  They are good solid people who I am proud to call my new(ish) friends.

Her bachelorette party was one of the best nights out we have all had in years!  Just a fun, fun, fun day and night with happy girls.  Her shower was beautiful.  Her wedding was a blast.  I might still be recovering... really.

I have only posted a few pictures because most of them were uploaded to a private PG-13ish site with good reason.  Just sayin'.

How many people does it take to set up an air mattress?  At 3am?  A lot.

It's Mrs. Seegot!  XO.
