David and I had a fabulous time in Chicago this past weekend. We went up with Lindsay and Russell to attend a fraternity brother's wedding (the first of many more to come in the next year). Believe it or not we weren't even the last to arrive at the ceremony! (gasp) Although we did cut it close; I believe they were seating the mothers when we snuck in the back pew.
Everything was just great until (insert creepy music here): the cocktail hour! Now this was a first for me: the cocktail hour lasted 3.5 hours; and that's BEFORE the reception started! It was all planned, so we knew what we were in for ahead of time (i.e., trouble!). Imagine what happens when you have access to a full open bar starting at 3:30 and going strong until midnight, with a shuttle to drop us off between the hotel and the reception venue (safety first!). Like I said, trouble. ;)
The night starts off great. Lindsay and I look fab in our new Macy's dresses (got 'em on sale!).
And we finally make it to the reception. I'm getting sleepy from the wine, but David appears to be doing just fine. Let's eat!
And then things start to get crazy.......
and weird.....
and just plain scary!
That's what an afternoon of cocktails will do to a person.
