holy weddings

weddings seem to be all in my face right now.  i usually see wedding parties every saturday when i leave work taking their wedding pictures.  lately i see at least 4 every saturday.  it's kind-of fun to look at all the limos, party buses, bridesmaid dresses, etc.  

a couple weeks ago one of my friends got engaged.  with one of the top engagement stories i've heard of. 

then over the weekend my sister was in her best friend from high school's wedding.  

and... one of my co-workers got engaged.  to be honest, we knew this was coming because she found the ring.  by accident.  she was actually doing her fiance a favor when she found it, getting something for him, and there was the bag.  but she didn't look at the ring, she just knew he had it.  but we had no idea when.  and it was this weekend.

on his bday.  "he wanted to share the day and celebrate with her"  his words.

this has to be a top engagement story too.  he took really nice yarn (she's a big knitter and LOVES really nice yarn) and strung it all over their place.  she followed the yarn all around the apartment and he put little notes about their relationship along the way and at the end were flowers, a bottle of champagne and a ball of yarn.  the ring was in the middle of the ball of yarn.  

she's going to make a wrap or something special from the yarn and have another way to remember the special engagement.

and she loves the ring.  i always feel a little weird to be like... let me see the ring.  but as soon as she finished the story she said, "look at the ring!  it's beautiful."  she went vintage.  she's pretty eco-friendly and doesn't support the mining that happens for a lot of rings.

and one of my other co-workers got engaged over the weekend too....  i haven't had a chance to talk to her yet so i'm not sure what her story is...

oh and holly & michael got engaged on the office recently.  that was precious and hilarious too.

and of course, the royal wedding on friday.

i wasn't into the wedding at all until i talked to one of my co-workers about it at work friday (when it was over) and wanted to know more.  i mean i like weddings.

and i thought it was beautiful.

i loved as william tried so hard to suppress smiles and their sideways glances and loving looks at each other.  it was beautiful.

and i don't care what people say about kate's dress.  

#1 as long as she likes her dress, that's all that matters 

#2 i liked it 

#3 she's beautiful so it doesn't take much

"wait till you see what's coming" harry to william when he turned around and william wouldn't

my friend jess likes to call spring time twitterpated from bambi.  so funny.

twitterpated you may ask?  i've had her explain it to me, but just for you I looked it up and what do you know i found a bambi memorable quotes page.  bam.

Friend Owl:  Yes. Nearly everybody gets twitterpated in the springtime. For example: You're walking along, minding your own business. You're looking neither to the left, nor to the right, when all of a sudden you run smack into a pretty face. Woo-woo! You begin to get weak in the knees. Your head's in a whirl. And then you feel light as a feather, and before you know it, you're walking on air. And then you know what? You're knocked for a loop, and you completely lose your head!
