Ohmigosh...I love weddings...

I would've posted last night, but...

It's summer. That's all that needs to be said.

Anyway...yesterday afternoon, I went to Ali and Tyler's wedding. (Well, Sunday afternoon, since it's technically Tuesday now...) Ohmigosh. Every time I go to a wedding with people I know getting married, I love them more. (Being a preacher's kid, I've been to several weddings where I don't know who the heck's getting married...) Plus, I didn't have to go far. It is ridiculous how close I live to these people, and I just met Tyler and Brittany Jo last year.

There was a whole Shack posse present. There was me, Lou, Callis, Erin, Jessica, Hope, Kayla, G-Mo, Aaron, Paul, Jim, Brittany, Garrett, and probably someone else I forgot, sorry... Garrett got lost and ended up getting directions from this police officer who was giving him the evil eye because he thought he was someone he had pulled over last week. Freaky...

But yeah. The wedding was at this huge wooden house that looked a lot like a log cabin, and a big, huge yard... the wedding was in the yard, where they had brought out a nice little arch. Ali was so pretty, and she was just beaming like she does so much...I almost cried. No, when she brought out her guitar and sang this song she wrote for Tyler, some of which she wrote before she ever met him, I had to blink a few times. But that wasn't the best part.

No...the best part was when it rained. I'm not talking about a cute little drizzle. I mean, the heavens opened up and everyone who didn't have an umbrella got completely and utterly soaked. But the wedding kept going. It didn't even matter that much. And I was just like, "This is so cool..."

The reception included barbecue and a bluegrass band. Complete with fiddle and mandolin. That was awesome. Ali and Tyler's first dance as husband and wife was to "This Magic Moment". And of course, they hammed it up as only Ali and Tyler can. They were just slinging themselves all over the place and laughing.

I learned some stuff too. That Lou used to clog (maybe still does...ooooo). That fire ants are exacting a plan of nothing less than world domination. And if Jones is still single by the time he's 40, he's gonna marry Callis- that is, if Callis hasn't married McKenna, since she has been promised to him provided he's still single by the time he's 40... Please don't ask. And Garrett suggested that last thing himself.

Well, I'm off to bed. One more thing, though. My sister came home Saturday night, and we're already trying to kill each other! *grins*

Ah, smell that sibling love...

Jones just threatened to fight McKenna.

I couldn't have said it better myself!! And you are so right about the ants. I'm glad we discovered their evil plan before it actually happened so maybe this way we can stop the reign of terror and domination.

Lou is trying to beat me to a comment. I think she did. Boooo Lou. Booooo. It's okay. My comment is better than her comment. So there.

My comment is shorter. More eye friendly.

My comment is more descriptive. It shows I pay closer attention to what Liza says. I care more. Booyah.

I love how everyone has such a detailed description of the wedding and they all remember something unique that no one else was able to describe. It just sounds so pretty.

//take note that my comment is slightly more mature than lou and erin's, and that it's slightly odd that we're all (lou, erin, jones and i) are sitting at lou's talking to each other on laptops through your blog ;o)

I think Alison is right. Darn.

I care. There. Now everyone knows. And the fact that I'm responding to you shows I am paying attention to Liza's blog, Jones' comment, and your incessant pestering.

There is NO way Alison is more mature than our combined maturities, Erin.

whoa liza, you have twelve comments, that's a dozen, and if you bought a carton of eggs that would only be one egg per comment. (-lou)

Lou is correct in her mathematics. While Alison is a math major she can be very wrong a lot of the time.
