You can't be my friend unless you're married / getting married

Marriage - the formal union of a man and a woman, typically recognized by law, by which they become husband and wife. AKA Something most people strive to have.


I have about a million friends married/getting married. It is getting out of hand. There must be something in the water or something. I'm excited for all my friends and all I just feel like I'm turning into Katherine Heigl's character in "27 Dresses". As of right now I only have four dresses, one of which I haven't worn yet and a possible fifth may be added by the end of this year. I am well on my way though.

My first wedding that I was in was actually about four years ago in July. My oldest sister, Natalie, was married to her crazy husband. Now they have an adorable daughter, who is easily my favorite niece. That's pretty much the only good thing that has come out of that marriage. haha jk Joe, we like you, we just tease. My dress was actually this really cute periwinkle skirt with a white shirt. I would still wear that skirt, if it fit my fat body.

Then, three years later, on July 26, my friend/roommate, Brianne was married to her long time boyfriend Brandon. After five years they tied the knot and I was so excited to be in her wedding. This was the moment I truly fell in love with weddings. haha I was there throughout most of the planning, the showers,the pictures, more pictures, the set up, the getting ready, the ceremony, even more pictures, and the reception. I had V.I.P. access to it all and I loved it!! My dress for this one was a black dress that was more casual, with a pink cami underneath. I still wear this dress to church a lot and I love it. Ooo, and I got some cute black shoes out of that wedding too. Nice!

Later in 2008 (November 1st), my good friend, Whitney was married. For this wedding I was up at school for most of the planning, which made me feel like the worst maid of honor ever! It was a fun day though. I woke up super early and drove from Fort Collins to Aurora and to get my hair done. The wedding was amazing and I love both sides of her and Adam's (the hubby) family. It was a good time. I loved her colors, they were brown and a pink. My dress was brown with a pink sash that tied around and I looked pretty dang good in it. It's a little fancier, so I don't think I'll ever wear it again but it looked cute.

The next wedding I will be in is for my really good friend, Miss Janae. She is marrying this guy, Brian, that we actually knew in high school but they never dated until a few months ago. She is getting married in August and already has SO much planned. It's quite impressive. The dress I'm getting for her wedding is cute, it will probably look better when I have a tan, and I might have to get a couple alterations done. It is yellow and dressy, like Whitney's and will have a white sash with a peek-a-boo white slip at the bottom. It will be cute. We still need to find some shoes but the look is coming together.

I have this other friend who getting married some time this year and I am so excited for her. She may or may not be having bridesmaids, but if she does, she has let me know, that i will be one of them. haha This is just getting crazy. But like I said I am so happy for all of them and good thing I like all of their husbands.

Being around all this wedding planning has made me think about my own wedding a lot, not that I am getting married any time soon (and I am PERFECTLY ok with that). We'll see what ends up happening when that time comes though.
