My friend from high school, Betsy Barber got married last weekend on June 18, 2011. Omaha, Nebraska to Bangor, Maine, slipped into a sweet rental, drove two hours and arrived in Topsfield, Maine. Topsfield is a small community, there is a church, The Store, two schools, and one intersection.
Highlights!
*The beautiful ceremony-yeah, I cried. (I know, shocker ;) )
*The reception DJ--all of bridal party and friends, just plugging our favorite in and dancing like crazy!
*Seafood-lobster rolls, home made clam chowder, and soft shell crab. Mmmmmm....
*The groomsman being actually taller than me! (always a plus.)
*Meeting so many cool people and wanting SO badly to go back!
*Being able to do the maid of honor and the bride's make-up, since I was the only 'girly-girl' out of the bridesmaids.
Chocolate suckers, Yum! Plus, wild flowers that actually made it!
Oh yes, look at those socks! HAWTness! I had to get them for the girls and my brother, Ben because our bride loves Wicked and Pirates!
Our bouquets that we made ourselves. They turned out great!
Riding in the wagon from the church to the reception! But, a group of motorcycles drove by when we were all waiting for something to sit on. The horse on the left reared up and nearly bolted--a little scary! Sam-the groom, his uncle, father and the whole bridal party gave the motorcyclists a chewing. The border patrol showed up and held them back about a mile while we traveling without event to the reception.
The adorable church! Part of the bridal party that was near Maine came out to help paint it a few weeks before. It's gorgeous!
