Weddings come in bunches. The summer we got married we attended or were a part of 6 other weddings. It seems that everyone's brother/mother/cousin/friend/estranged relative decides to get married at the same time. When we got married, it wasn't too bad because we lived in decent driving distance from most of the weddings (except for one specific wedding that was halfway across the country and in the hottest sanctuary ever...and there were two 15-minute plus "sermonettes"). Plus, we could regift some of our trove of newly acquired items and save some money on wedding gifts. Overall, that summer was a bit exhausting but fun nonetheless.
Here I am now sitting in a similar position for this upcoming summer. Well, not quite similar. This year, we have three weddings to attend, plus at least one other that we will only attend in spirit because of another wedding scheduled on the same day. There will also be little to no driving this year because of the one thousand mile difference between us and all the weddings. I also managed to make it into all of the weddings this year including the one I can't attend. Craziness! I am incredibly honored and really excited to be a part of all these weddings, but I've decided either there's a mass conspiracy to bring us out of the hinterlands of the deep south or the reception halls are manipulating the market so that they fill up their schedules. I've also decided that I just need to purchase an airplane and set up a bedroom in it. Unfortunately, I usually fly Southwest so I'd end up with a suite over the engines next to complete strangers because I got a "C" boarding pass.
Happy Wedding Planning Friends and Family! I look forward to seeing you all.
