We've been back awhile, but it's worth updating! Cydney (my best friend) and Brandon got married September 13, and it was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! The whole thing started off with one of the greatest, and super awkward Bachelorette party. We started out with dinner, our poor waitress had to put up with all sorts of ridiculous penis lollipops, an on-going game of Dirty Minds, and roaring laughter. :) From dinner, we moved on to Burberry's downtown for drinks, and Sassy's (yes, the gay bar) for drinks. It was hilarious. At Burberry's, one of the guys Sally had liked in high school and several of the girls with us had dated, was the musician. We told him it was Cyd's last single night out, and he sang her a song in front of the entire bar. It was great! All the while, the guys were having their Bachelor party via camping trip out at Greenbelt. All they would tell us is they smoked some cigars, set off fireworks and at one point Jason Dunham (think a mix between Jesus and Johnny Cash) was in his boxers and cowboy hat, explaining the sinking of the Spanish Armada using beer cans and himself, pretending the fire was the ocean. Yes. Sometimes, going back to Amarillo is so worth it! Friday was their rehearsal and rehearsal dinner---it was a complete C & B event. A costume rehearsal dinner. I went as a gypsy, Adam wore Ryan's turtle costume (from when he was 5), and we added some swords and a bandanna-viola, instant ninja turtle! Brandon was a mummy, Cydney was an Egyptian, Chris & Jenny went as Cydney & Brandon. Even Cydney's great aunt, who is ancient, dressed up and went as a hippie. I gave my toast at the rehearsal dinner and surprised even myself when I cried. I recalled our being assigned to make an Indian diarama for Texas History, and how it cemented our friendship when we agreed Trolly dolls and My Little Ponies were clearly the best medium. From dioramas, to Steppers, to Church Camp, we've always had each other. All in all, it was greatness.
While we were getting ready for the ceremony, all the girls got hungry...so we ordered a pizza!!! I love our friends! Their wedding was beautiful! Cydney walked down the aisle to "As I Walk Down to the River to Pray" and Chris & Laura preformed the service. I can't believe we've gotten to this place. Where we're all getting married, and friends are having kids or and buying houses.
At their reception, we enjoyed some Red Stripe and great Indian food, along with fabulous music (of course). By the end, almost every guy had stripped down to their undershirt and dress pants, and the girls had lost their shoes and pinned up their dresses. We were soooo sweaty, and the dancers left after Cyndey & Brandon!!! All in all, it was a GREAT wedding, and a GREAT way to spend a weekend off. :) I love you McCulloughs!!!!
