Wedded Bliss!!...and Rekindled Friendships!

An invite for a wedding...that takes place 2 days before your dreaded anniversary.  What to do? Well, in this case - we go.  The bride was one of my best friends' younger sister that has grown into a beautiful, sweet woman and one of my best pals (her sister) was driving up from Georgia.  I hadn't seen Tonia in 5 years so it was a no-brainer!  Was the ceremony difficult? Yes.  Did I shed some tears, especially since I share a name with the bride...just think "Jennifer, do you take this man?"  Eeek! But being there watching this adorable couple so much in love made me realize that it could be out there again for me.  I wiped my tears and got over myself! :)
It was a beautiful wedding and a fun reception!  It was a very kid-friendly reception just like Jen said "the kids may outnumber the adults".  In Tonia's case, they did.  She has 5 adorable and active kids that kept us on our toes! :) Ella was so excited to see Annabelle again after their initial meeting when they were ONE!  They had a blast and when Tonia's family packed into their vehicle for the hotel...Ella cried..and cried...and cried the whole way home!  They have decided to be skype buddies! Should be fun to listen in. :)
Did I cry the whole way home with Ella? Nope...but my eyes did water up because I hated to leave Tonia again.  We need to get together much sooner next time!
P.S. Tonia...I just HAD to add our crazy pic! It shows the REAL us! :)  and it cracks me up when I see it!
