This weekend I had the great pleasure of attending and participating in the wedding ceremony and events for my friend Kristy that lives in NJ. We became friends my sophomore year of college, which was her freshman year and have remained friends ever since. She was in my wedding 8 years ago (we celebrated 8 years this past Tuesday) and I was lucky enough to be in her wedding just yesterday-June 27, 2009. The events leading up to the wedding and the trip leading up to the wedding weren't as spectacular. Both of our girls had been sick, I was sick on Father's Day, and on the day of our anniversary (Tuesday, June 23rd) I was sick again. I had the horrible stomach flu/virus. So needless to say we weren't celebrating, rather I was home in bed praying I would make the flight in the morning to NJ. We had planned to arrive in NJ on Wed morning and go sight seeing in NJ and then on Thursday make a day trip to NYC. Well, I managed to stay sick through Wed and then made Dennis sick. Luckily, I made it on and off the plane without embarrassment to myself or Dennis. But we spent Wed and Thursday at the Olde Mill Inn (hotel) in the bed praying we would feel better in time for the wedding. Thankfully, by Friday morning we were both feeling much better. This began our vacation and celebration of the upcoming wedding. (Unfortunately, back home in NC Kyleigh was still very sick and my dad and grandparents were sick. So Kyleigh ended up at the doctor and Kaitlyn ended up at my friend Angela Osborne's house with her best buddy Hadley -- Thank you Angela!)

Friday morning the girls were set for pedicures and manicures to prepare for the big day on Saturday. Then we went out for a celebratory lunch that was supposed to be with the gentleman as well. However, her brother-in-law and nephew were sick so the men (except for my husband) stayed at the house while we visited the Edison Family Restaurant. Dennis and I headed back to the hotel for the afternoon and the rehearsal dinner was that evening at a very nice restaurant. We enjoyed the company of Josh and Kristy's family and most of the bridal party. During the drama of illnesses lurking about there were also two car accidents that occurred with two members of the bridal party at separate occasions. Both were fine but it did hinder their attendance to the evening meal.

Saturday began very early with a wake-up call at 5am for shower and make-up so I could be at Kristy's parents home by 7am. We finished getting dressed with Kristy and took some photos at her parents' home. The wedding was to begin at 11am at the Grain House (outside under the gazebo) at the Olde Mill Inn. It was beautiful. Kristy was an elegant and calm bride as she waiting anxiously for them to escort us to the cobblestone walkway and begin the ceremony. What a blessing to watch her grandfather rise from his wheelchair and walk down the aisle with her grandmother as tears of joy streamed down her family's cheeks. Then back to all smiles as we walked down the aisle for her to become wed. They had a very unique "sand" ceremony instead of the traditional unity candle. It was cool! The ceremony was quick and we were off for pictures and then cocktails and party time! It was over by 5 pm but it was a great time for all!

Above are some pictures of the events including pedicure time. Enjoy!

Sounds like a fun weekend, although I am sorry that you were sick for part of it! Glad you're home safe and sound.

Hellow Kristy and Joshua. I googled your names and this came up. Please contact Weichert Title Agency. (It's good thing) No sales or collection. It's concerning when you sold your home in NJ.

Thank you.
