3 Weddings, 2 Weekends, 1 Full Heart

What a perfect way to wrap up my summer; surrounded by love, chaos, family, friends, laughter, and glitter… Lots of glitter. It has been an absolute dream over here, and I can’t wait to share! Since all three of the weddings were incredibly special and unique, I think they each deserve a post of their own. So, for now, I will stick to the highlights!
 
My cousin Kayla’s wedding came first, so the week between her bachelorette party and ceremony was filled with last minute activities to prepare for the big day. Somehow, I still found time for a Mariners game, shopping date, and a wine night before heading down south on Thursday evening. It was a breathtaking backyard wedding complete with the most beautiful boho bride you can even imagine! I cannot wait to share more deets!


Before heading back to Seattle for a few short days, my sassy little mother suggested “maybe I get some rest and don’t go out every night.” Pshhhh. Real cute Deb. I had trivia, celebratory dinners, HH, and season finales to attend to. Needless to say, my short week flew by! Wednesday afternoon, I headed south with a MOH speech and about a million dresses in tow, ready for another magical weekend.
I can’t even begin to describe how special the next few days were. I was so thankful for the opportunity to stand beside my best friend as she married her soul mate. The days leading up to the wedding were just as incredible as the glitter filled day itself. Every last element of their wedding was perfect… I am seriously bursting at the seams to gush over all the sparkly details.


Cate’s wedding was nothing if not a party… One which extended to the bars until 2:00 am when the lights came on! It was the absolute best, but the next morning? Not the best! I drug my hungover ass from Portland to Seattle, and was greeted by my family with essential oils, whiskey, beer, and Pedialyte. Miraculously, I was cured and ready to party! I threw on one of the many dresses I packed, wiped the mascara from under my eyes, and climbed on the wedding shuttle wearing my prior evening hair and makeup. #iwokeuplikethis
My cousin Christy’s wedding was an absolute blast. It perfectly captured the bride and groom’s personalities while ensuring their guests had the time of their lives. I had so much fun dancing the night away with the fam, and loved the after party at the casino!
It blew me away how quickly my long weekend came and went, but I can’t tell you how thankful I was for all the love shared and memories made.
 
Cheers to love, laughter, and happily ever after!
