Day 249, January 4th, 2014

Wedding day! I've been up for a few hours getting ready to go to Aaron and Steph's wedding and I tell you, it hasn't been the easiest thing! haha. I showered and than started doing my nails... had to do them about two times as I screwed them up and than it was make up time! Did my make up and started on my hair which turned out to be a sock bun which is what I was wanting to do because a bun is nice but my hair had dried nicely so it was a shame to put it in a bun but oh well!
Got all dressed up, Jordan zippered me in and we were on our way! First we stopped at Studlers and than Trevor and Lisa's to check on the fire and than off to Bruxelles!
Jordan and I yacked the entire way and didn't even have the radio on. We definitely drove through some pretty country and the closer and closer we got to Bruxelles, the hills started getting bigger and bigger! Finally we saw the church from a distance and wouldn't you know, we were there an hour early! Go us, so we went touring the town. Well that was it, haha!! We decided to park in the parking lot and wait for more people to show up.
The church was pretty on the outside and different on the inside. Very green on the inside. The ceremony wasn't that long considering it was a Catholic ceremony so all of us in a steady line of traffic headed to Holland for the reception. It was a short jaunt and when we arrived we were welcomed by miserable winds that made me wimper a lot!! I'm not used to wearing a dress and certainly not used to trying to trot through a parking lot in heels!
When we entered and hung up our coats, we found beautiful tables decorated with pictures, oil lanterns and a window pane with the seating chart written on it. We found what table we were sitting at and than signed the guest book before walking in and seeing what the hall looked like.
It was very nicely decorated with a huge sweep of fabric and twinkle lights in the middle of the ceiling. When browsing, you could find trees with jewels hanging on the branches and big almost chandelier like jewels cascading down from the ceiling in a circular fashion. The tables were double wide, which everyone was happy about, with grey table cloths, lace table runners, hydrangeas and poplar tree candle holders. Very pretty.
The evening was nice. It was quiet and lot of nice things happened throughout the evening. I really hope they enjoyed their day as it seemed quite nice to me. I was definitely shocked that a bigger party wasn't happening on the dance floor but it seemed to be just the way they wanted it to be and that is just fine by me!

Congratulations Aaron and Steph! You most definitely had a lovely wedding! Hope you have a great time on your honeymoon!!
