You may kiss the bride :)



In between going to Oklahoma and my summer research internship starting, I started my summer class for the first session and went home for one of my good friend's wedding. I started class on Monday (MWF class) and left right after class on Wednesday to head to Colorado for the wedding. It was non-stop the entire week.

Wednesday night Timothy picked me up from the airport and we headed down to south of the airport to see his family in Kiowa. The next day we headed back up to Greeley so that I could see my family and go to bachelorette party in Loveland.

Thursday we went out to dinner (just the girls of course) and made shirts for the rehearsal dinner. That night we stayed in Fort Collins, and Tim and I had a date day there the next day before the dinner. Beaujoe's Pizza, Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream, and to Tim's dismay plenty of hippies to go around.

Friday was the dress rehearsal and that was when I realized how much people change while staying the same as time goes on...(if that makes any sense). It was really fun to see every one again. The rehearsal was the first time that I had seen some of my high school friends since high school and it was great. I don't go home very often so it was weird to see them after 3 ish years. I can't even imagine my future 10 year reunion.

Saturday was the wedding and the ceremony was really simple and pretty. Dana and Josh made everything for the wedding. Josh even sewed my bridesmaids dress together, and that is one of the best fitting dresses I have ever worn. Not to mention he did another dress and a few of the vests for the groomsmen. I was super impressed, Dana picked a good one. On thing that I thought was the greatest about the wedding was the couple getting married.

I have known Dana for a really long time and I have always wanted her to end up with the perfect guy; Josh is that guy. As she was walking up the aisle and they were looking at each other he and she both started crying. Now I'm not that emotional about that stuff like that, but after seeing them both tear up I realized that is one for sure way to know that the person you are marrying is the one. Dana and Josh where the first in our high school class to get married and I think they will be the only ones for a little while.

After a crazy weekend of a wonderful wedding, I headed back to MSU to continue my class and start my research job.
