Wedding Shopping in Denton
Saturday morning about 3am my cousin K called and said that she was lost. Ten or so minutes later she arrived at my apartment and then we stayed up till nearly 5am talking.
K is getting married in July and, some how, and I'm not quite sure yet how this happened... we woke up about 9am, got dressed and headed to Denton armed with a massive checklist of stuff we needed to get done for the wedding. As soon as we arrived in Denton we met up with her future mother-in-law and sister-in-law at a hotel. What is the best way to start off a day of wedding shopping, why of course, LUNCH!
Now, sufficiently nourished, we headed off to probably the most fun of the items on our agenda, at least for me... CandyHaven where we were given the opportunity to sample about 8 different types of wedding cakes, complete with the fruity fillings and different icings and chocolate dipped strawberries. After selecting the cake, we drove to Lewisville where our attention turned to SHOPPING. We hit two different Payless Shoes, Talbots, Garden Ridge Pottery and Academy. Our shopping excursion hit only one detour... Starbucks. Unless you didn't know, shopping is one of the best ways to create an appetite. So after we were shopped-out we took our appetites to Abuelo's where we were joined by K's future brother-in-law.
Have you ever noticed that migraines seem to hit at the most inopportune times? Just like at the wedding the previous Saturday evening, about the time we sat down for dinner, my migraine came back with a vengeance and landed right behind my left eye. I asked for a to go box and brought most of my salad home. Once the rest of the party finished dinner we drove back to Denton where I took advantage of the fact that I was not driving and took a quick nap in the back seat. By the time arrived back at the hotel, I was feeling better. K, Mom-in-law and I stood out in the fresh air, leaning on the trunk of the car going over our checklist for the day, talking over things that still needed to be done, and they made a few decisions about catering and such.
About an hour later, we filled up my car with gas... I really didn't need it that bad but it was only $2.15/gallon in Denton compared to the $2.22 by my apartment so I figured what the heck. We drove back to my apartment and quickly passed out. K got up and drove back to Huntsville about 9 the next morning and I headed to work about 11. It was a busy and fun day that offered a great break to the monotony of work and class that had plagued my week from hell. Thanks for including me in the festivities. I cant wait until the big day in July... its gonna be beautiful!
