Nathan and I went to a wedding last weekend. Had a nice little roadtrip to get there. Got a hotel room right next to a casino, and had a good time. However, at the wedding we looked like total wedding crashers. To be honest I'm not sure how we got invited. I mean, we were practically the only people there that weren't family members but Nathan and the groom are really good friends, so there we were. (These were his friends that we went and visited down in Texas.)

The invite for the wedding said there would be two shuttles to the wedding from our hotel. So we got picked up by a shuttle bus...and were the only ones on it. So that was were the awkwardness started. Then the driver started following signs on the road for another wedding. Nathan was worried we'd have to call the groom and say "Sorry we didn't make it to your wedding, we got on the wrong shuttle from the hotel". Haha. Luckily, it was the right one.

The ceremony was small and intimate. Only, like I said earlier, family and a few close friends. The bride in her dress looked beautiful. They had their programs printed on fans since it was an outdoor wedding at a beautiful vineyard. T'hen on the flags they had printed a word find with the wedding partys' names.

At the reception we had a whole table to ourselves. Nobody was talking to us, nobody was sitting with us, it was awkward to say the least. Then the drinks started flowing and people started loosening up. That didn't take long, considering it was an open bar. Nate danced, I got dragged onto the dance floor by the groom telling me the bride wanted to see me. They had a photo booth (FUN!). We made some friends, heard some good stories, and it was a good time.

Then since we helped close the reception, along with a few other people, we went to the casino. And by we I mean, me, Nathan, a few other people we met at the reception, and then the bride and groom... in their wedding gear. She's such a fun and sweet girl! Random and full of life and sass. Walking around a casino after midnight in her wedding dress. That's a night I'm sure they'll never forget. I wish those two the best. They are adorable.
