Barbara's Big Day

After getting home about midnight Friday night, Saturday morning began at 8:00 and never stopped. I had a hair appointment at 9:30, and then a quick drive over to Corsicana.

About 12:15 we had a bridesmaid luncheon at Motycka's Gifts and Texas Tea House. This was a cute little house with gifts and such downstairs and a tea room upstairs. The food was wonderful and I am still thirsty for some more Strawberry Peach Tea.

Then we proceeded over to get the mall where the other bridesmaids and the bride got their hair done. After the four of us were completely decked out with our hair and makeup... and sprayed from head to toe with glitter, we headed back to the house to pick up our dresses and head to the wedding location.

Back in the Bride's dressing room, we quickly got ready and took pictures before the men were due to arrive. It was an emotional day for all of us. Barbara had a couple of family reunions that really touched her heart. The men arrived, in their Cowboy tuxedoes, and it was about time for the wedding to start at 6pm. One of the groomsmen came back and informed us that we needed more chairs for guests and Barbara just couldn't believe that that many people showed up for her and Richard's wedding.

The wedding was beautiful, a little country, but still beautiful, and everybody was crying, even the DJ. Chalee Tennison, a nashville recording artist and relative of the groom, sang "This Woman's Heart" off of her album by the same name while the bride and groom lit the unity candle.

The reception was catered by Hoffman's Party House. They have some of the best brisket and sausage around... and you dont even need BBQ sauce. The cakes were absolutely wonderful, the grooms cake was a camoflauged chocolate mountain and the brides cake was an italian wedding cake. I will post pictures in a minute.

After the music and the party started, I felt the beginnings of a migraine coming on and decided that it would probably be a good idea to change clothes and head to "TheArmpitOfHell" before it was so bad that I couldn't drive. I got home about 10pm and climbed straight into bed. My mother had to come in and help me get the 30 or so bobby-pins out of my hair. I'm sure the combination of loud music, champagne & bobby-pins brought on that wonderful migraine.

To top it off, the wonderful backwards government took my extra hour of sleep away from me. And I want it BACK!
