Weekend Re-cap

This past weekend was extremely busy. It was a fun and eventful kind of busy, but still busy nonetheless. Here's a rundown of my Saturday, I had a bridal shower and TWO weddings! My day started out with a bridal shower in Lamesa for my sweet friend Leslie. Leslie and I have been friends since early elementary school and it was great to see several of my old friends and their babies. Here's a pic of Les with her awesome food set-up. Check out that cake, so pretty!

Then after the shower I had lunch with my Memaw and then it was time for me to get ready for the weddings. The first wedding was at 4:00 in Tahoka (convenient since my 2nd wedding was in Lubbock at 6:30!) My best friend Eric's old roommate/Marine buddy was the one who got married. Unfortunately the groom is getting deployed to Iraq in about a week and a half, and he and his fiancee wanted to get married before he was deployed.

The wedding was really pretty and at the end of the ceremony all the Marines not already in the wedding held up their swords for the bride and groom to walk under. As the bride and groom approached the last set of Marines, they crossed their swords and kept them from passing. The bride had a puzzled look on her face wondering why they wouldn't let them pass, then a Marine they had already passed leans forward and tells the bride, "Welcome to the Marine Corp family Mrs. Lucas" and then proceeds to slap her behind with his sword. The sword made a loud "whop" and the whole church began laughing. Here's the bride and groom right before she was properly welcomed into the Marine family!

And here is Eric and I all dressed up!

The second wedding I went to was for my dear friend Geleah. Geleah and I have been friends since my sophomore year at Tech. Geleah also stayed in Lubbock after graduation and she's been my concert buddy to many, many concerts. Her wedding was super laid back and lots of fun. We had delicious barbecue and Tyler T and his band provided the music. I got to see several girls I hadn't seen since college and we had lots of fun dancing just like we did in the old days haha! Unfortunately my camera battery died so I didn't get any pictures at Geleah's wedding. So on that note, I decided to post a picture courtesy of Geleah's Facebook! Here's my sweet Geleah and her husband Chris a.k.a Beanie.

After dancing with my old friends at Geleah's reception, I then headed over to the reception of the 4:00 wedding (don't worry I didn't drive back to Tahoka, the reception was in Lubbock!) for more dancing with Marines and their wives/girlfriends! After the night was finally over, which didn't end till the wee hours of the morning, I felt like Katherine Heigl in 27 Dresses! Whew, how's that for a Saturday? :)
