•Numbers 5 and 6••

Who needs to catch the bouquet nowadays? Certainly not me. Do I need some strange single dood, who got stuck with garter as it was kicked towards his feet, try to shimmy it up my leg? No thanks, I'm good. Anyways, I have so much wedding karma stored up from this year alone, I've gotta be 'next' on someone's list, right? I think what it really means is that I was blessed to have not just 1, not 2, but 6 awesome couples want me to be apart of the start of their new journey together. Pretty sweet if you ask me. Jer, Sandy, Inessa and Steve wind down and wrap up my wedding bonanza that was this past 8 months. Great memories, Great Friends. Fun Pics. :0)

The Place: Omaha, St. John's Chapel, Creighton
The Date:  Sept 3
The Situation: Baby Jake's date again :0)
The Why: Granger Takes a Bride

Must say this is my first time being on the groom's side of the preparation, especially when you love the bride equally as much. Granted it was Ris as the groom's attendant, but where Jakey goes, LT will travel.

Tell me you don't love him.

Ris and LT. She has one with me on the party bus drinking beer, but I refuse to post that since I was far too sober to be drinking beer willingly at that point :0)

Mr. Bear stow-a-way.

'I say a little prayer for yooouuu....'

'Aah, I'm getting married!'

Ris escorting her bridesmaid buddy.

Get down, get down. This bridal party travels in style. None of those stuffy limos for this crew.

Why yes that is a baby on party bus. And yes, he is the life of said party.

Picture. Picture. Picture. I love that we all have a different angled version of this.

 Typical J face.

Quick! The dance floor's open and I hear music! Go!

 Matron of honor, aka sister of the bride, was a Godsend and definitely on her game. 

Hello, reception FLIP-FLOPS. Bonus.

How do I love thee, and your faces in this pic, let me count the ways.

Match #: 6
Locale: ATL Midtown
Digits: Oct 8
The Storyline: Inessa finds the very BEST man
Note: My Russian is VERY rusty, Candy Stations are en vogue, and PACKERS fans are everywhere [shout out Best family]

The date says Oct 8, but some may remember it as when ATL Pride took over midtown. Ugh, the crowd was a b*tch to navigate even by foot. Thankfully caught up with another friend that weekend and still watched the game live [as did the groom's family, natch].

Doubling down on the parental escort. 

Sisterly officiant. Sweet touch.

Mr. & Dr. Best••••

And as an after dinner kicker, my penchant for random signage has struck again. Enjoy.

I can only assume this Prius was extremely liberal from its bumper stickers. Pink sticker stopped me in my tracks when heading into a store. It reminded me of a snide come back in response to a 'Save the Babies!' comment you might have heard in a verbal spat between high schoolers, promptly followed by someone in the crowd yelling- 'Ooh, buuuurrrnnnn!' [No, just me? Totally product of the 80s and 90s]. BTW, I totally want that black sticker.

Acceptable?!?!? That's all you're going to give me? Acceptable as compared to what? And what am I accepting at this level?

Hello to you to Mr. RideOn Bus.

Always. There might be more fun signs about.
