my best friends wedding

well, we are back. back to the grind, back to reality, back to our regular schedule. we had such a great time in boston. we didn't get to do much touristy things as we had a lot of wedding events planned while we were there but we did get to walk around davis square which is in somerville and did a bit of shopping and eating. other then that we had such a great time!! here is a peek into the main events!

 man oh man! we had soo much fun at the bachlore! we went out to dinner with all the ladies in the family at a restaurant on the dock. we made sure she was appropriately ornamented for the occasion too :) after that we were driven to a drag show which was so much fun not to mention hilarious. everyone should go to a drag show, they are the best! then later we danced the night away. i know i woke up with a huge hangover but it was so worth it. knowing that my best friend had a great time makes even the worst hangover okay :D

the happy couple

my best friends family. they are all so beautiful!

at the spa after we got our hair did

the beautiful bride and her awesome hair! she looked incredible!

best friends forever!

the wedding was soo beautiful. it rained off and on but we were able to get through the entire ceremony without any rain, yay! my friends dad married them and it was such a sweet ceremony and it was just so perfect. tom hand painted the seating chart for them and it turned out SOO GOOD! he is pretty talented, that one :) they had a tree thumb print as their guest book and had the most beautiful vintage pictures of other family members wedding days surrounding the thumb print tree. such a wonderful touch. her mom also embroidered all the napkins, we kept ours as a memento :) the food was great, the company even better and the dancing AMAZING! it poured on and off while we danced but that didn't stop anyone, there was actually at one point a group of ladies dancing in the rain. on top of it the dj had a video recording the entire time we danced, i can not wait to see it!

it was so wonderful to see two wonderful families come together and even more wonderful to see and be a part of such a wonderful moment in my best friends life. i am so happy for them and wish them all the love and happiness that life has to offer them. weddings truly are the best no matter how small or large they are.

its about that time...

i am SUPER excited about SF Renegade Craft Fair this year as it will be my first time ever going! i have wanted to go forever but for some reason or another i have been busy and couldn't make it. i am sooo happy i have no plans on sunday! i will be hopping on bart and riding my bike out to fort mason to do some browsing and meet some of my favorite bloggers/crafters who will be selling at the show. if you are going to be around come on down, it should be lots of fun!

in other news, my work is flying me to connecticut next tuesday for a national sells meeting for one of our fabric venders and while i am there i thought i would visit my best friend who lives in boston! i can't wait...i haven't visited boston before so if any one has recommendations let me know!
