This weekend I went to my cousin's wedding. She is the oldest of us, 37 cousins. My sister was a bride's maid, so my family went down on Friday.
Friday afternoon my mom and I worked on decorating the stairway leading up to the hall. We used white tulle and white Christmas lights. These were draped over the railing in many small swags, like a scarf valence. If my mom took pictures, I'll upload some. We did that until we had to leave for the rehearsal dinner. We got back to the hotel around 11pm where we crashed.
Saturday morning, I helped my aunt decorate inside the reception hall until we had to leave to get to the church. I am not much of a flower person, but I was arranging red roses in mirror vases. I also helped put all of the party favors on the tables, and put greenery and roses on the cake. I know I'll have a picture of the cake to upload.
At the church I helped decorate and set up, while the girls all got ready. Then I helped line up the bridal party and send them down the isle. After the wedding I helped take down all of the decorations.
The wedding and reception were both beautiful. My cousin's nieces(8 and 9) were junior bride's maids and they were so adorable. At the reception there was a lot of Irish music, because the bride and groom are both part Irish. The 8 year old was performing Irish dancing perfectly to the music. She was awesome!
After the reception I helped take down all of the decorations.
Yesterday, I drove my cousin's car (filled with their gifts) to her new house. It is beautiful. It is on a hill in out in the country, and you can see a long way. It is perfect!
This weekend I didn't get much sleep, but got to see a lot of people. :)
