All Gussied Up

by

Our next-door neighbors got married yesterday.
We met Nancy and her son A.J. when we moved here 4 years ago and last year Nancy met Scott. Yesterday they married in one of the sweetest ceremonies I’ve seen in a while. They exchanged vows and rings and then gave A.J. a family pendant. All three of them committed themselves to their new union. It was such a beautiful thing to witness.
Not to mention the cake was REALLY good!! I don’t know if I’ve ever proclaimed my love for GOOD wedding cake on here before, so let me just tell you now. I LOVE wedding cake. I think it’s the icing. It’s just so good and sweet. Now I wish I had more. Anyone getting married anytime soon?
Oh and there was an open bar.
And, just the hubs and I went.
And… (yes, there’s more…) I got to wear my new dress that I bought a couple of weeks ago! Woah people, hold yourself back from all the excitedment!! But really, it was so nice to dress up and feel feminine and “girly.” Sometimes we just need to do that to remind ourselves that we are! Honestly, I get tired of wearing that same “Mommy” outfit all the time. So thanks to Nancy and Scott for getting married so I could have a reason to get “all gussied up.” (that’s Southern for dressed up, in case you didn’t know…)
So let’s review, shall we?
Sweet wedding.
Awesome cake.
A little free wine.
Time alone with my man.
Wearing a dress and heels.
Yeah, life is good. : )

  2. Cute dress! It is SO nice to get out isn’t it? We went to a wine tasting party last night at a friend’s house. It was great! We hadn’t been out in awhile.

    One of my best friends is getting married in two weeks and I am singing in her wedding. I can’t wait. I love wedding cake and dressing up too!

  3. How fun!!

    Love the wedding cake. The chance to dance with the hubby again, and yes, a couple of free glasses of wine isn’t so bad either!!

    And you my dear look fab-u-lous!!!

    Glad to hear you had a great time!

  5. GREAT dress!! You look great too! We have a wedding this weekend, hope the cake is good…I WILL be splurging on some cake! 🙂

  8. Hi Elaine

    You look gorgeous in your new dress.

    I hear you when it comes to wedding cake, yummo. I am in luck as my sister-in-law is getting married this Sunday, so I’ll be indulging.

    I am so happy to hear that you had a wonderful time with your hubby.

    Lots of love

  14. isn’t it crazy how good you feel after a night like that??

    who knew getting all gussied up could make a mommy so giddy 🙂

  15. What a beautiful picture!

    I know just how you feel- an adult night out every now and then is great for everyone, even the kids that get to party with the grandparents.

  16. What a lovely couple!
    Great dress!
    I’m glad you were able to ‘clean up’ and go to a sweet wedding with your man and no children…we ALL need DATES! 🙂

    I’m glad the cake was good, because there is NOTHING worse than bad wedding cake. Blach.

  23. I like your dress. You two clean up well! I’m glad you got to go have fun and eat some yummy wedding cake. Your tweets about it had me laughing.
