Wedding Weekend!

Well, I've been really bad lately about doing my "Weekend Wrap Ups" so, bear with me as I try to play catch up.

A few weekends ago Kelly and I headed down to Houston to celebrate our friends, Jill and Matt, as they became husband and wife!! I was in the House Party and loved getting to be a part of all of the wedding festivities! We arrived Friday morning just in time for the beautiful Bridesmaids Luncheon at Champions Golf Course in Cypress. The decorations were beautiful, and the food was absolutely amazing. After the luncheon I met up with my dear friend and old college roomie, Emily, and we chatted the afternoon away over a cup of coffee. It was so great to see her in her neck of the woods. Oddly enough, Emily teaches at the middle school where Jill went to school! Small world, huh?

After my chat with Em, we headed to the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. Here's a pic of Jill and me at the end of dinner. Ready for a BIG day tomorrow :)



On Saturday all the bridemaids and house party met at the Chateau (the location of the reception) and got ready together before heading to the church. This is also when Matt and Jill saw each other for the first time. They took their pictures before the ceremony, and we all watched as Matt waited for Jill at the end of the drive way. He was SO excited to see his beautiful bride.

Here we are right before she walked downstairs to see her boy!




I forgot my camera at the Chateau for the wedding ceremony, but it was wonderful just the same! One of Matt's groomsmen, Jesse, played the guitar and sang the most beautiful songs, and Matt's dad, Mark, officiated the ceremony--it was so special!

After the ceremony we all headed to the Chateau for a wonderful dinner and a night filled with dancing. And, since there are too many pictures to post them all here, I made a slide show. Enjoy!






I'm so happy for you, Jill and Matt! Congratulations and may you live happily ever after!
