In a 6 month period of time, Ben's 3 best friends from Jacksonville, FL have all gotten married. October, February, and now April... so obviously we have had Wedding Overload, and it's been fun.
Brian and Gracie dated all through college just like Ben & I did, and we all became very close. They have also spent the last 3 years coming to Mullet Toss with us every spring. This is how they became friends with Austin & Stephanie and so they rode with us to Jacksonville on Thursday night for the wedding weekend festivities!
Friday while the boys were golfing, Stephanie & I enjoyed lunch, margaritas, and purchasing a few bottles of SkinnyGirl Margaritas to take back home since Mobile doesn't sell them!
Rehearsal Dinner Friday night was at the Yacht Club
After that we went to a country bar called Maverick's.... a place where you seriously must know the line dance to every song that comes on or you will get shooed off the dance floor looking like a fool.... so the only song we were able to dance to was the electric slide... such beginners we were! But it was fun people watching!
Saturday was a sunny beautiful day so we laid out by the hotel pool before the wedding! Everything was beautiful & joyous!
Brian & Gracie were beaming with happiness & their wedding reception was so much fun!
Ben gave a rousing performance at the wedding.... he and another groomsman (who was playing the guitar) sang "Marry Me" by Train to the Bride & Groom... It was both touching & hilarious, as Ben has never performed publicly before and they added a fun twist to it.... But Ben forbids me to put the video online *tear* I thought it was awesome
We had SUCH a fun weekend and can't wait to see them next weekend for Mullet Toss 2K11 (oh yes, they say that the weekend after they get back from their honeymoon, they are in fact coming to see us for the 4th annual event... can't wait!). Congratulations Register & Gracie!! We love y'all & wish you much happiness!
