Little did I know, back in the spring, when I started making my list and added, “visit my college girls at each of their houses” that, first of all, I would get to see ALL of them in one visit but more than that… that my visit to one of them would be for her… WEDDING!!!
But that’s just what happened! About 2 weeks ago, Kelly (ya know -my favorite of the college roommates ;)) married the nicest southern gentleman at their gorgeous home in Kentucky. It was a beautifully sweet, country wedding and it was soooo much fun to be with my girls for a whole long weekend! We don’t get to see each other very often now that we’re grown ups (Are we really grown ups??!!?) but as soon as we’re back together, it feels like we’ve never been apart.
We started out in Louisville. We got some new t-shirts. We were given a free bottle of vodka at a wine shop! (People in Kentucky are niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!) We headed to the country. We switched time zones unexpectedly. Some kids got hitched! We danced! Oh man, did we dance! We camped!!! (kinda) There were lots and lots and lots of laughs! No one can make me laugh like these girls. I’m so grateful that I met them back in the day, that they are still in my life and that we all were there for Kelly’s special day. I was definitely feeling lucky in Kentucky! (Cheesy, I know. But true!)
Meant to be…groom’s parents, bride’s parents, bride and groom…all married on same date.
Here comes the bride!
The Kiss!
Who doesn’t love drinking from a mason jar? Kelly and Mike did such an amazing job with all of the decor and set up! They did everything themselves and it was beautiful!
Watching the first dance
My girls!
We couldn’t resist the t-shirts at the airport
These friends make me SO happy! (Never mind what my hair is doing. There was a STORM-A-BREWIN!)
What is happening here? Getting ready to enter a late night dance circle?? We were the last ones on the floor/lawn…
#27 -Here’s where we slept! Does this count as camping?? When the thing was parked right outside of Kelly’s house?? That might be cheating as a real camping experience but we’re gonna count it as completed for my list but only on a technicality because… there was a WILD ANIMAL! that slept inside there with us! Squeak! Squeak! (I still want a tent.)
The next day…
We made s’mores…
…and got four wheeler tours.
Congratulations Kelly and Mike! Lots of love to you both! Can’t wait to come visit again!
PS- I went to a National Park in Kentucky too! (#3) But that’s a whole nother post…
This is by far my favorite post of them all! I am so glad and thankful that you all were able to come (especially you ’cause your my favorite 😉 Love the t-shirts!!! Can’t wait until the next time we can get together. MIss you and Love you tons!!
Oh hey, Kelly BAKER! Love it!
