Becky & Dave's Wedding!

I have finally lived long enough to see one of my childhood friends get married. It was really nice. It's just like Becky to have such a perfect wedding. All of her school work and projects were always so well thought out and prefect so of course her wedding was precisely the same! After the lovely (and gloriously short) ceremony, Eavvon and I had some time to kill so where did we go? The Cohanzick Zoo! It's small and free, but calling it a zoo seems to be a bit of a stretch anymore. When I was little and spent a great deal of time in Bridgeton, it was full of animals and signs painted by my mother (notice the "No Bikes Allowed" sign next to Eavvon for an example!). Now both are quite rare. A zoo that once had a white tiger is now pretty much a glorified bird sanctuary. So after a brief, but lovely walk about, we departed and made our way to the reception. Much to my surprise, I knew someone at our table! Another childhood friend who I've lost touch with! That was a pleasant surprise! For dinner I had the biggest, thickest piece of chicken ever seen. Then we proceeded to dance the night away! And if Eavvon didn't believe me when I told him I couldn't dance with him cause he's too good of a dancer, he should have believed it after a complete stranger came up and told him he was! Though, I wished there would be a dance off between Eavvon and this amazing young Michael Jackson enthusiast. He was a crazy good dancer and he was probably only 14 years old! He was moon walking and spinning and we were amazed! So, to sum up, the wedding was lovely, the zoo was cute, and the reception was a blast. And somehow, someway we made it to Trenton without running out of gas or missing the last train. WE RULE. Not that Becky or Dave read this blog but... Congratulations to the new couple!

Congrats, L & M!

Keeping with tradition, I accompanied Nathan to another Terry Wedding. Well, that's partially true. I didn't attend the wedding part this time. I just went to the reception. If his family believed we were just friends the first Terry Wedding, they completely don't believe us now. Even going as far as one of his aunts telling him he was lying. Unfortunately, she didn't ask me. I had a great response. I was going to say, "I keep asking him, but he keeps turning me down.." and then bursting into tears. In other news, on Thursday I randomly ran into an old friend from high school while standing outside of the college on a break. And then who was unexpectedly at the reception? That same old friend! So crazy! So I got to hang out with him a lot sooner than planned! It made the whole beginning of the reception a lot less awkward. As for the reception itself? It was really nice! And Laura and Mike had some great ideas. Some people give candy and candies to their guests, but Laura and Mike gave mix CDs that they compiled including a song they recorded together. Being that Laura (and I guess Mike) has similar taste in music as me, I absolutely love the mix! It's great! They also gave away the pretty centerpieces (tulips) and a bit of Laura's glass. That doesn't make sense, but I'm not going to explain it just to be a bitch. Anyway, as always, Nathan and I were the best dancers of the night and despite the many dance competitions judged by Mike and Laura, I didn't win as I never competed. Didn't think it would be fair. I do the best Electric Slide anyone has ever seen. It's so good I feel bad doing it in front of people. It crushes souls. And also, I would have crumbled under the pressure. All in all, a pretty fun time. Too bad Nathan doesn't have anymore sisters....


ps. I finally wore the sweet tights I got for Christmas. I got so many comments and compliments on them. When I put them on, I was so stoked so I'm glad the feeling was mutual! I could not get a nice shot of them. OH WELL. I'll just have to wear them more!
