Wedding Update

Seems this will be the final wedding update because on Saturday My BFF officially went from a Miss to a Mrs in a perfectly perfect ceremony. Although as of sunday morning I told her the "bride treatment" that she had been receiving was officially off, and I would begin treating her like a normal human being there are things to say.....

My BFF and I have always described each other as like luggage. Because once you get a good set of luggage you keep it forever. Over time luggage can show some wear and tear, but that happens when it is with you through all of life's journeys. You take it with you when traveling to places that bring you so much joy and happiness and its with you when traveling for reasons that break your heart.

I've adored being a part of the journey My BFF and Mrs. My BFF/Rouge Hand celebrated on Saturday. From the day My BFF met Mrs. My BFF/Rouge Hand, something was different. Although I think I'm normally good with the words I find it impossible to describe. What I do know is that from the moment they became friends until the moment they finally became more than that, I did not have a conversation with My BFF that didn't include Mrs. My BFF's name.

Buddy, you are the hall the my oates, the pb to my j, my best friend, my family, and my favorite set of luggage. It was an amazing experience to be a part of your wedding day, and I couldn't be happier that you found someone who so perfectly suits you to spend the rest of your days with. Congrats and all of mine to the blissfully happy couple!

4 days to go until My BFF and The Future Mrs. My BFF/Rogue Hand make it official.

Trying to figure out who's supposed to supply the broom for the the brides to jump over. I'm not sure if it's something the bridesmaids do, or if the venue provides it. Also wondering since only one of them is actually from the south, if a swiffer would be more appropriate?

After finding out that no one else was coming in their Halloween costume to the rehearsal dinner, even though I was apparently still welcome to, I took some time and picked out the perfect outfit.


Yes it is a velvet tuxedo, and yes it is beautiful.

I've never been to a wedding in the South before so I googled Southern Weddings. This is what came up.

My BFF didn't mention it but according to South Carolina state law, the bridesmaid's would be required to wear either a Hunter's Orange hat or vest. Guess its time to hit up Bass Pro Shop.

Wedding Update

With only 53 days to go until My BFF and The Future Mrs. My BFF/Rogue Hand make it official it's time for the first wedding update.

With the wedding on the eve of All Hallows Eve, thwarting any chance of yours truly attending a Halloween party, I've suggested to the brides that the rehearsal dinner be done in costume. I will be attending as Wolverine.

It's a nice day for a white wedding

Friends and family flew in from across nation, food was prepared, cocktails were mixed, and vows were written. It is truly an amazing and beautiful thing to see two people so perfectly made for each other make the commitment to be crazy stupid in love for the rest of their lives.

I wish I could perfectly describe the amount of joy, laughter, and love that was shared Saturday as my BMF married his sweetheart. It was a wedding like no other I had ever been to. Thrown by family and friends, small, simple, beautiful. Forty of those closest to the bride and groom gathered at sunset with their toes in the sand to be a part of a day they will forever remember. I had the honor and privilege of viewing the wedding from a different angle than other guests; as the officiant. Long before he put a ring on it, My BMF and Mrs. My BMF asked me that when the day came if I would utilize my Online Ordination I got while trying to avoid studying for a test in college at their wedding. Naturally, I happy and excitedly obliged.

It could not have been more perfect, as if mother nature knew what was happening, she provided us a beautiful sunset, a day without rain and a nice breeze to cool us off. I, as well as most of the guests, made it until Mrs. My BMF began her vows before the water works started, through her words, her smile, and her tears we all felt how true her love was and how much it meant to be able for her to marry the man from her dreams. My BMF spoke with such feeling and adoration, but did not disappoint as his vows ended with a quote from Mr. Brad Paisley. And by a quote I mean a note, as he serenaded her with "What I can't see is how I'm ever gonna love you more, but I've said that before...".

I will remember and cherish forever the day I got to pronounce them husband and wife and officially add another sister to my family. Congrats Mr. and Mrs. My BMF! All of mine.
