We had the pleasure of going to my cousin's wedding last night at a horse farm about 2.5 hours away. Unfortunately, we had to come all the way home last night, too, since I work at 7am on Saturdays (followed promptly by nap time). So, it ended up being a jam-packed, totally exhausting 9 hours. But also a gorgeous wedding with a very, very happy bride and groom.
Isn't the view AMAZING?! The ceremony was originally supposed to be outside, but the weather forced it inside. Luckily, it cleared up and they were able to get some great pictures outdoors. The ceremony and reception were in a round building with a vaulted ceiling and floor-to-ceiling windows lining the perimeter. It was really beautiful.
This skirt was a strapless dress with a very poorly constructed bodice that I picked up for $11 a couple weeks ago at Charlotte Russe. I hated that bodice, but fell in love with the print on the fabric, so I brought it home and started cutting. The result is a this high-waisted, floor-grazing skirt that I simply paired with a $3 tank from Target, a pair of black wedges and a little dangly eye candy for the lobes. I have had these earrings for years and still LOVE them.
I totally bailed on doing my hair, though. With the heat and the humidity, I just didn't have it in me, so I threw it back in a sloppy bun.
Lovely pic of the husband and I above, but the bottom picture takes the cake...
John's most perfect action shot. This "frozen running man" may just be the closest this guy will ever get to actual running :)
