Andy and Cara's Wedding


I had to post this picture I just took outside from our apt.'s "Juliette balcony". It has finally rained here. It hasn't in a long time, but the sunset is coming through the dark clouds. It is stinking gorgeous!

Brad and I got back yesterday from Indiana. We were there for a short weekend again to celebrate my brother, Andy's, wedding. The ceremony and reception was outside in Bloomington, Indiana. It was beautiful. The weather was fantastic. And we all had a lot of fun. I am so happy for them and I keep checking Ben and Laura's blog for their pictures. They are in the Dominican right now on their honeymoon.

Here are some pics from the weekend. I didn't get many since I was in it, but enough.

On Friday at the rehearsal dinner, I planned a Minute to Win it competition based on the NBC gameshow between the bridal party. I used my Mac and youtube to download the instructional videos they show on the TV show from the Internet. Before each game I played the British accented woman who rule clips then the Minute to Win it timer. People laughed, got competitive, and had so much fun! Eric Bland, one of my brother's Taylor roomies won. Here are some of the games we played.

"Penny Hose" - had to retrieve pennies at the bottom of each leg of the panty hose without giving help to one hand from the other

"Movin on Up" had to get a blue cup back to the bottom by bringing each red cup to the bottom alternating hands.

"On the Nose" had to get 5 cotton balls from one bowl to the other using petroleum jelly on the nose only
"Junk in the trunk" had to get 8 ping pong balls out of an empty kleenex box tied above the butt by shaking the butt and hips.


"Bobblehead" had to get as many bobbles as possible on a pedometer attached to a sweatband.


We did 8 games with people getting eliminated each round until Eric won! It was a ton fun.

Saturday was perfect. Andy and Cara seemed very excited and in love. I am happy for them! Here are some pics.

  1. So fun! I love that you planned games. It reminds me of when the girls kicked the boys booties at my rehearsal dinner. Remember that?
