What a weekend. Damn mother nature had me STRESSED to the max for a very good part of the day on Saturday, oh and the fact that we were getting a new ROOF that was supposed to be finished Friday...but of course, workers were there till 3:30 Saturday, and we had a PARTY taking place in mere hours...Mikey still had to cut the grass...shingles had to be GONE from the yard...the rain had to STOP! Aaaahhh. Chaos.
Anyways, as such goes...of course, it never even freakin' rained Saturday night. NOT ONE BIT. Damn you meteorologists!! It must be nice having a job where you totally do NOT have to be right all the time...not even close. You can just scare people with thunderstorm warnings galore, but hey...who cares if it doesn't happen, right?!? I had all these grand plans of doing the drink and dessert tables on my back porch, tons of cute lanterns/string lights/tiki torches had been purchased and were ready to go...out back. Well, with a 60% chance of thunderstorms occurring that night (and it did storm early in the afternoon) no one wanted to risk people being caught in the rain outside, or my pretty decorations being ruined. So...I had to suck it up and move the dessert table inside and the bar table to my front porch, which thankfully, is covered.
Long story short (yes, I know this isn't the end of the world!)....we lived. The party was still absolutely wonderful, everything looked beautiful, the guests of honor had a great time, and we had the cops come. (More on that later, but you know that means the party was good, right?!?)
Now on to pretty party pictures....
Becca setting up the drink table, it still looked cute, just in a different location.
The dessert table now on my island.
Bad ass cameras make everything look so much better. Thanks to my friend Kayla, who just purchased her first, we have lots of amazing pictures from the night.
The hosts...also known as my best friends from college. Happy days. (PS...we were reminded that it has now been SIX freakin' years since we graduated college, AND NO...I DON'T WANNA TALK ABOUT IT. WE ARE NOT GETTING OLD, DAMN IT.)
The food table. Don't you love that vase? Yeah...well, now I have to buy one. I borrowed it from a friend of my mom's...walking out the door this morning I tripped (damn roofers and their materials!) and the vase break. Efff. But regardless, the flowers (green mums and white hydrangeas) looked beautiful. And my dripless candles were amazing.
The guests of honor...the future Mr. and Mrs. Carlisle!!
Hosts with bride to be.
My boo and his Chinese eyes...and me:)
Love this girl.
Our group! Such a fun night! And yes, we eventually moved the party to the back, so much more room! Those are my pretty tiki torches in the background!
But....yeah. Maybe we should have kept the party inside. We ended up going to our "shed/man cave" for an intense game of survivor flip cup (wait...all 28 year olds still do that, right?)...and the COPS came. Ha. Seriously? At least we know we had a good night, despite the (non) weather issue.

Such great pictures!! It's about time someone in my family gets a great camera too, pictures like those are ones you can keep forever and an expensive camera's so worth it. Happy Monday, loved your dress! Virginia
