December 14th - 16th
I had the honor of being in a good friends wedding this past weekend in Williamsburg, VA. It was such a fun time of the year to get married as everything was decorated for Christmas.
The wedding festivities started Friday afternoon when we all meet for the rehearsal. We got to wear our bridesmaid dresses to the rehearsal since we were going straight to pictures after the rehearsal. I loved getting to wear the dresses for an extra day. The rehearsal itself was a little rocky. We had this beautiful church for an hour but the person that was supposed to let us know what we were doing was 45 minutes late. So we knocked out the entire thing in 15 minutes before they kicked us out.
After the rehearsal, we headed over to the Yankee Candle Factory Store for some amazing pictures. It has a super fun Christmas village and it "snows" every few minutes. It was a great place to get pictures all dressed up and it was also where Walcy proposed to Heather so it was so fun to so and see them "relive" that in their wedding attire.
After pictures we had a quick wardrobe change and off to dinner we went. We headed to Cracker Barrel for a fun dinner with the wedding party and close family. It was a great way to end the evening. After dinner, Heather, the man of honor (Robert) and 3 of us bridesmaids, headed back to Heather's house to hang out talk, laugh and sleep before the big day.
The day of the wedding was so much fun. We got up and out super early so we could all get our hair done together in the big room that we had at the hotel where the reception was. We were all excited and silly and just had so much fun.
The wedding was on the William & Mary campus at the Wren Chapel. It was such an amazing building. The wedding, the getting ready there, the pictures, the history, it was all just perfect.
After the beautiful ceremony and pictures, we headed over to the reception at the Hospitality House. We spent the next few hours, laughing, dancing, spending time with old and new friends and celebrating Walcy and Heather.
Time passed really fast and before we knew it, it was time to clean up and head home. After we finished packing up and sending the newlyweds off, Jed and I were able to meet up with some other old friends that just happened to be in Williamsburg for a get-away weekend. We were able to spend a few hours with Jenny and Phu at Uno's before we had to head back to Chesapeake for the night.
On Sunday, we were able to send a little bit of time with Ben, Shelby, Ryn and my mom for lunch before everyone headed out there separate directions. It was such a fun weekend with friends and family.
Congratulations Heather and Walcy!
