I love weddings! They are so fun and I would love to be a wedding planner some day. (Maybe when I grow up.z ;) It seems like at least once a year there is a wedding in the family. This comes with having such a large and close family. This year we celebrate the marriage of my cousin and his new beautiful wife Jeffery and Kayla! Congrats to you both! The whole weekend was so much fun! (and much needed for us!) To recap:
The weekend started on Friday when Josh (I haven't really properly introduced my man to y'all. Josh is my boyfriend.) and I drove down to spend the evening with my brother and his fiance. Let me tell you! We had a blast. The night included wine, a little whiskey, pizza, and a lip synching game. SO FUN!!! I have videos but unfortunately would be in
Saturday we woke up a little earlier than intended. Thank you Chance and Maggie. My brother and I decided to go get breakfast for the bf and fiance while they went back to sleep. We then ate and went to the park! Josh and my brother threw the football around occasionally tossing it to me. (I'm not horrible at it but I am afraid of the long passes since I got hit in the face a few years ago and short passes just are not as fun as long hauling ones.) Back to the apartment we went then onto the hotel where we got ready for the evening's festivities!! We only had one problem while getting ready.......... My flat iron would not curl my hair the way I wanted it to. Luckily I found and alternative hair style on Pinterest (LOVE that site!) and my brother's fiance came to the rescue and brought me a curling iron a few minutes early for picking us up so I could finish my hair. :)

On to the wedding! Such a perfect day for a wedding! It was sunny and about 80. It was held at Hidden Valley Animal Adventure. It is a beautiful little place in Varysburg NY. The ceremony was very sweet. The couple exchanged their own vows and the groom's best friend was the officiant. After the ceremony, there was a wild game safari ride. They gave us cups of grain to feed all the animals and took us around on a trolly to see zebras, a camel, different types of cattle, bison, yacks, all sorts of critters. They were not afraid at all. Came right up to the trolly and opened their mouths waiting for their snack! My nieces absolutely loved it! It was a cute, unique aspect of the wedding. The decorations and decor were absolutely beautiful! (Great job to the groom's sister and mother for putting in a ton of effort! Everything looked awesome!) The food was very good, the cupcakes the groom's sister made were to die for, the dancing was great, and love was in the air! Over all a beautiful wedding and such a fun night!

The weekend ended with a cookout on Sunday and a horse ride in the rain. It was a beautiful and very fun filled weekend. When the time came to say goodbye and head back home I was ready for a nap! I love weekends like this that are so fun you need a day to catch up from all the festivities.
Congratulations Jeff and Kayla! You both looked amazing and everybody had a blast! I
Can't wait for the next family wedding. Apparently it's my turn next? At least according to all the uncles and cousins. We'll leave that up to Josh. He knows my feelings on this :)
Bye for now!
