A St. Patrick's Day Wedding

Things have been busy busy lately, but good.
Last weekend the Hub and I went to Mike and Tara's wedding. We left Friday morning to make it for the rehearsal since the Hub was the best man. Well we never made it to the church. On a drive that normally takes 3 1/2 hours, it took us 8 hours to get to NJ as we drove head on into a late Nor'easter storm--8 freakin' hours!!! It was the worst drive of my life. Never have I seen so many accidents and spin outs, and been worried for my life. We had to stop at one point cause our windshield wipers crapped out on us so we bought new flimsy ones at a gas station somewhere in CT.

The day before:
Me: We should buy some new wipers before we make our trip.
S: Nah, we'll be fine. It's only supposed to be rain.

And it was only supposed to be rain in NJ. That's what the weather said the day before for them, and I figured we'd leave early enough to get ahead of the storm we were going to have, which usually gets hyped up anyway and then ends up being 2 inches of nothing. Poor Tara and Mike. Two days before this major storm Tara was riding in her convertible with the top down as it was 83 degrees in NJ (a blessed 68 in Boston). So they ended up pushing the rehearsal ceremony back since others were late, and we ended up somewhat making the rehearsal dinner. I have never been so glad to be out of a car!
The wedding was a really fun time! Tara looked beautiful, like a princess, and Mike was dashing and both very excited. A fun time was had by all (especially with the open bar and shuttle back to the hotel). The food was delicious--especially the desserts. They had a whole bunch of different kinds of to-die-for cakes and an ice cream bar (drool).

Now the newlyweds are off to Tahiti for 2 weeks!!!! So lucky! CONGRATULATIONS YOU TWO!
