My sister and I went to the best wedding ever past Saturday!
Let me start from the very beginning.
Kaitlin Birch, now Mrs. Wilkes, was my first American roommate, and the best one (sorry, Andrew, I just tolerate you as a roomie, you know LOL). I spent my first Christmas in America with Kaitlin's amazing family... Now, that is a totally different story.
Anyway, yesterday my sister Vera and I went to Kaitlin and Jesse's wedding. It took us about three hours to get ready. I know it's all Vera's fault, she IS slow :).
We got to the church on time, surprise again! The bride looked absolutely stunning: her hair, her dress, her jewelry, and, most important, her smile. Kaitlin was lighting up from inside. It was truly her day. I haven't seen her happier than that day.
We sat next to a really nice guy Steve, who, very kindly, gave us the directions to the reception afterwards, and we were supposed to follow his car. We were supposed to, and we never did. Why? Because instead I decided to follow another car, thinking that everybody after the church ceremony will go straight to the Country Club where the reception was held. Right! It did look a little weird that we turned left, instead of turning right like Steve said... Next we knew was that we were pulling into a Subway shop!!!!!!! My sis: "Hold on, wait, where is the Country Club?" "Not here for sure". We could not stop laughing! Why do we always make our lives so much more difficult? A GPS saved us again... How did people live without it? Were they always lost? Did they miss all the events? I would.
When we arrived at the reception, there were not enough seats at a table assigned to us. What did we do? Just sat at a different table! I have to admit, it was awkward when people from this table arrived and saw us taking their seats. Oops! We had to move back to our assigned table...And then all the fun started. The people at our table were hysterical :) We talked, we laughed, we danced, we drank... We just had a fantastic time.
Thank you so much, Kaitlin & Jesse for your great friends and family. It was a day to remember!

P.S. I really really hope that the next wedding I will attend as a photographer. I believe in it.
