This Weekend

This weekend was another to add to the book of fun. David and Abbie got married, finally.

I went up there Friday for the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. I couldn't believe that I was actually in Abbie's hometown. Let's just say that the big news for all those gossips queens was Abbie's wedding. The town is that small.

Rehearsal went fine, except that Heath and I missed the memo that we had to dress up. Oops. The dinner afterward was also amazing. There was barbecue chicken, steak, corn on the cob, potato salad, and some other dish that I was completely confused by. And yes, lots of bread. I accidentally took some of the potato salad thinking it was actually hot potatoes or something and tried eating it. HUGE mistake. Me and vegetables don't get along and the salad was like arsenic to my palate. I survived, somehow, and just ate chicken (I will choose chicken over steak any day) and bread. I almost party fouled with that too when I flipped the plate vertically while trying to cut the chicken. I was somehow able to get everything back on the table without spilling it all over myself or Heath next to me.

After that, a large group of us went to the town's fair. We rode rides, made fun of carnies, had carnies make fun of us (Julie), watched mudding in trucks, and had some beers at the beer garden. It was actually a lot more fun than I thought it would be. But that could have been all the wine I had at dinner. I did have some wanker girl say I was hot, that was pretty trash-tastic.

Saturday was the big day. Heath and I met David for lunch and then just got ready for the wedding. Scott showed up while we were getting ready and we went to go get DQ with him as he had eaten all day. Eventually, we made our way to the church that their wedding was going to be held in. I would say that this church might hold around 200 people. David and Abbie invited close to 400. Now, with some weddings, people won't show, blah blah blah, but for this one, a crap ton of people came. We had to take chairs out of the back just to find room for everyone. Heath and I, as ushers, ended up standing for the entire wedding (which was a full mass as Abbie and David are both catholic).

However, at the reception afterwards, we got to sit at the cool people table and be served first, so that more than made up for it. All of the free jack and cokes I had probably went a long way to making up for that as well.

We got to party with a lot of our friends from college at the reception, which was so amazing. Amy, Julie, Colleen, Sara, Kayleigh, Jennifer, Scott, Heath, Justine, Tyler, Alan, and Mundle were all there. We had a blast showing these people how it's done Kville style.

After the reception cleared out, a large group of us went to a local bar. The place was dead. Apparently Saturday nights aren't big bar nights in that town. We stayed for a bit, had a few free drinks (can't remember how we pulled that off), played some shuffle board, and then went back to the hotel to pass out.

Sunday we met at Abbie's parent's house for a brunch before we all headed back. It felt so good to just relax and not have to dress up or feel like you are trying to impress people. We got to get a picture of all of us with David and Abbie which I personally would like a copy of. I honestly think that this past weekend will be the last time that some of us will ever see each other and I'd like to have something to remember it with.
