Happy Feet

Here are my feet by the pool in Tucson.Here are my feet after dancing at the wedding.(Pardon the razor burn. We've discussed it before.)

Here are my feet in Tulsa.Can you tell a difference? I can.

Tucson poolside. Happy feet.

Tucson dancing feet. Happy feet.

Tulsa cold feet. Unhappy feet.

Because of this.
Tootsies, I don't think we're in Tucson anymore.

Wedding Day!

You know you're at the wedding of a special couple when you see this.Scott and Adrienne both attended the University of Arizona but never met each other. How neat that they decided to go back to Tucson to get married. Instead of a typical guest book they had this.We found Scott and his groomsmen at the bar having one more shot before the wedding started.I wandered outside to see the set up. It was beautiful! Simple, but classic. Red with turquoise. I never would have put those two colors together but it was beautiful!

Adrienne let her bridesmaids choose their dresses as long as they were red. It was fun waiting to see what the next one would look like!My mom always told me to glance at the bride as she walks down the aisle but watch the groom to see his reaction. Sadly I am vertically challenged and when we stood up I lost sight of Scott. I did succeed in getting this picture with my cell phone. I quickly uploaded it to Facebook to share with my cousins who couldn't be there.
Besides, Scott just looked deliriously happy every time I looked at him:)Uncle Tim did an amazing job with the ceremony. He had me in tears a few times. That combined with the tears in Adrienne's and Scott's eyes during one of the readings made me glad I'd invested in waterproof mascara!After the ceremony the guests went next door and had hors d'oeuvres and drinks while pictures were taken and the staff set up for dinner. When it was time to come back the garden area had been transformed.When dinner was served I of course couldn't eat it because it was Mexican. I did eat my tortillas, and a few others that were donated to the cause, and sipped my five drinks. Yes five! I love weddings. Young love and a new life. Blah blah blah. I am usually there for the cake. Imagine my surprise when I heard neither the bride nor groom liked cake! So...we had cookies. I must admit they were good. But still I am a fan of cake. However, by the third cookie I had just about forgiven them.

Besides, how can you not forgive two people this cute together?And only because I promised...here they are. The tan/burn lines.

::::Sigh::::I think I need another cookie.

And the winner is...

Well, I think the post about the dresses generated more comments then ever before! I was really surprised to hear all the comments.

Four and nine were clearly the leaders but here's the breakdown.

#1-1
#2-0
#3-2
#4-5
#5-0
#6-1
#7-4
#8-1
#9-6

So there you have it! #9.

I like it, too...and I know Adrienne will!

Thanks for all the help:c)


P. S. I must be completely honest...I feel sorry for #2 and #5. Oh well.

Tucson

So here I sit on my couch.

Back in Oklahoma.

Not Tucson.

::::sigh::::

But visions of the beautiful weekend and the wedding are dancing in my head.

Scott's grandma married my grandpa when I was one and before he was born. His parents divorced when he was 18 months and he spent many years flying back and forth being with both parents. Since we were both being raised by single moms we would spend some time during the summers living with our grandparents in Colorado.

I just loved him! He was like the little brother I always wanted. He'd do anything I said!

As we got older his mom remarried and they moved to Washington. This was before e-mail and Facebook so we didn't have much contact. I kept up with him through grandma and saw him every once in a while. After graduating from Arizona State he moved to San Francisco. That's where he met the love of his life.

When the invitation came I told Shawn there was no way I could miss that wedding. Luckily he agreed with me and bought me a ticket!

The customary hugs and posed pictures started as soon as we got to the rehearsal.

The wedding site was beautiful and I wandered around taking pictures while they rehearsed. What a weekend to have a wedding. In Tucson. During March Madness. Yep, Arizona's Wildcats were in the NCAA basketball playoffs. The rehearsal dinner was on the campus.Luckily we didn't head that way until after the game. But since they lost I was concerned about what state we'd find people in.

No unsavories were found and I had a blast with the wedding party and the family.

At this point in the first day I'd taken 100 pictures and realized I wasn't in a single one! So, what is a girl to do? The long arm shot. I put my Aunt Patsy in with me so I didn't look quite as foolish!Saturday morning found me here.With this view.(And please no remarks about the glare off my white legs Aunt Carrie!!)

And this.I could have stayed poolside for the rest of the trip....but I happily got up and went to get ready for the wedding.

I just couldn't wait!

Stay tuned for the wedding pictures...and the obvious sunburn that I got:o/

Which One?

I have about a bajillon wedding/trip pictures that I plan on overwhelming you with tomorrow. But for today I need your help. I want to print one of these out for the beautiful bride but can't decide which one!
