Love for Chi-Town

Chicago was awesome. I got to see my very good friend Jodi on Thursday. Friday was a day full of shopping and the rehearsal dinner. And Saturday was the big day for Heidi and Alex. Their wedding was fabulous! It was exactly how I'd want my wedding to be. But, lucky for my daddy (and his wallet), I don't want a wedding. Every last detail was perfect. The location was beautiful. I even liked the bridesmaid dresses and for me to say that is HUGE. Heidi was stunning. Her dress was perfect. She looked so incredibly happy, and Alex did too. So happy for them. Here is a weekend recap through pics.

First, me and Jamie at a bar next to the church. We had a few cocktails before the reception. We had two hours to kill, so why not get little tispy!

Then, reunited with my boy. He was in the wedding party so I barely got to see him. Love this picture of us. Doesn't he look adorable in his penguin suit? And finally, everyone can see the hair from the front.

Matt and his boys. Second one from he left is the groom. And Matt's roomate through all 4 years of college. These guys get rowdy when they all get together.

Last, me with my air-mike. You know I can't help it when they play Bon Jovi! I love how Matt captures all the stupid moments on film. He's awesome like that.

Lastly, the oh-so-fattening, yet delicious cake. Man, it was GOOOOOD. Best cake ever. Seriously, this wedding was flawless. Very impressed.

There are obviously more pics, but by the end of the night I wasn't looking too hot. I think someone needs to remind me that I'm a girl, and that girls are supposed to wear makeup to formal events. I always think mascara will cut it but apparantly not. What can I say, I'm a simple girl. Plus, makeup makes you age faster.
