We had a really great time at our friend’s wedding this weekend out in Ithaca, NY. I’m still exhausted. Here’s a list of my 10 favorite things:

1) The drag queen, Ed, who did my “up do”. He was amazing and I really loved my hair. We gave him free reign to do whatever he thought was best. He chose the perfect look for each of us. I wanted to take him home with me!

2) After 3 weeks of cutting carbs and working out, my skirt fit again!

3) Sage “Chapel” was more like a cathedral and was GORGEOUS!

4) The Best Man was a lot of fun and it was a relief to know that he was about to throw up before giving his speech as well! We took turns looking like Rain Man outside before we gave the cue that we were ready! He did a great job making everyone laugh and I got to follow up with a more sentimental speech.

5) The vodka shot waiting for me after I gave my speech…courtesy of THE Bride’s brother.

6) Cuban cigars and Grand Marnier with THE Father of the Bride, with pictures to prove it!

7) THE Bride never once turned into Bridezilla. THE Groom was away all summer for work and she handled just about all of the arrangements. She was very organized and didn’t get stressed out at all.

8) THE Bride and I out in the courtyard waiting for the ceremony to begin…she needed to “pass gas” and didn’t want to carry it down the aisle with her! You can dress her up like a princess, but she remained true to herself.

9) The Pastor was actually one of their close friends. The ceremony was very personal and touching.

10) Threatening THE Groom as midnight neared the night before, “If I don’t see you tomorrow, I’ll hunt you down and kill you!” Thought I’d throw that in there…just in case. He obviously showed, but I don’t think he was the least bit worried about my threat.

If I ever let you guys read this, congratulations! I love you and hope you remember my toast…”May the light of today’s happiness serve as your beacon as you navigate any rough seas of the future.” THE Groom is a Captain, in case the rest of you were wondering.
