Weekend Wedding

This weekend Mr. B and I took a little {felt like forever} road trip to Maryland for my old roomie's wedding. 

I was so excited to be reunited with my friends, last time we were all together was about 2 years ago for our wedding! It's so awesome when you can not be together for so long, but then when you get together it's like it's been no time at all.  Love that!

This post will be lots of pictures {I hope, if blogger let's me this time!}.

The road trip started off with 

a.  An 18 week growth spurt {just in time to fit into my already tight non-maternity dress} 

&

b. The new traveling essentials. I was nervous for this drive since I usually feel sick, and sometimes get sick by just a 25 minute drive to church on Sundays- but I was prepared just in case!

When we hit NY, we were caught in a giant rain storm. It was raining so hard that pretty much everyone was just stopped on the highway because you couldn't see a thing. When it finally cleared up a little bit, we looked out the window and realized we were apparently in the middle of a flash flood.

This is on the highway!!

So needless to say, that slowed us down for a while and it was lots of stop and go, stop and go.

And....during this crazy adventure I needed to use the previously pictured yellow bowl.  Thankfully it was just fruit snacks, ha TMI- sorry.

A little over 8 hours later we finally arrived, got ready, went out for dinner and met up with the girls at the rehearsal. 

And they were quick to love on our little girl :)

The next day was the big wedding day! The location of the ceremony was at a beautiful bed & breakfast overlooking the water and the weather was perfect. A little hot, but no rain and that's what we prayed for!

We killed some time and took some pictures before the ceremony began.

Yes, I am that short and they are that tall. 

Like I wasn't feeling short and extra round before, put me in pictures next to my tall gorgeous friends! I wanted so badly to be pregnant, so of course this is all so so worth it. It just took some extra strength to stay positive :)

I requested a picture of them at my level so I wouldn't look so short. Apparently that was a lot harder than I thought it would be. 

It was finally wedding time, Jules looked amazing!

The newlyweds!!!

Almost two years ago that was us and now we are expecting and it's quite possible we are even more excited than we were on our wedding day! It's a close call ;)

Having fun at the reception!

It's a tradition to get a picture like this with my gorgeous "giant" friends...

Sad and hilarious all at the same time, I know!

Mr. B even danced with me! This was a successful night! He was thrilled because I am usually out on the dance floor all night, but with the super tight dress, uncomfortable shoes and the new inability to "get low", I spent a lot of time sitting at the table with him watching people dance! 

It was a great trip! Weddings are so beautiful and such a joyful time of celebration! 

I was very relieved to get out of that dress and back into some sweats

and get the 8 hour car ride over with though!

Congrats Jules & Ted!!! We are so happy for you guys and were blessed to be a part of your special day!
