Danny and Lori's Wedding

On Friday, July 23, I drove to my cousin Freddy's in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. After picking him up, we went to The Green Turtle in Ocean City, Maryland. After lunch, we went to Danny's house to get ready for the wedding.

Freddy ended up holding Cole's guns hostage...

After getting ready, we headed over to The Edge at Fager's Island in Ocean City. Lori and Danny had a beautiful wedding with their close friends and relatives.

I'm not sure what Lori is laughing about...

The Bride and Groom

Morgan was so excited to ride in the limo. She kept saying, "We're going in the LIMO!"

We went out afterwards and Lori put on her slippers! 

I am so happy for the couple and am glad they found each other! Congratulations to the two of them!! :)

Laura's Wedding!

Laura and Lou got married on May 22, 2010. I'm not sure which day they'll count as their anniversary. Laura could always say they have two!! ;)

We started the day off SUPER early. I felt so gross not washing my hair... but that's what you have to do! 

Step 1: Make up

Step 2: Hair

3rd and final step: Dress

Side story... Jaime and I had to park our cars at the reception venue. I then drove a goom's man's car back to the house where the limo bus was picking us up. We were supposed to bring the photographer back with us! Unfortunately, we forgot him! OOPS!

I don't have any pictures from the wedding. I doubt taking pictures and walking down the isle would be appropriate!

After the wedding, we gathered around taking pictures.

We waited in the bus as Laura and Lou took pictures. It began to POUR!

Mrs. Reil!!

I guess I do this gesture often enough to have it called 'The Alana'

Me, Laura and Courtney

Their specialty drink was a Blue Ninja. We had Pink Ninjas for the bride's maids. Of course, mine was a little different. ;)

I REALLY REALLY REALLY wanted to catch the bouquet. If you notice, I am NOT in this picture! I have no clue when she threw or who took a picture for me... but I was MIA. I would've been the ONLY adult. Her niece, Lexy, caught it!

There were four reception in the same venue. I'm not kidding you, the other guests were coming to Laura's wedding because it was better than the ones they were at! Including the bride's maids and groom's men! I would've been a bridezilla if my bride's maids went to another reception! However, no once cared that they joined in on the fun!

This guy had to keep dragging his wife back to the right reception!

After the reception, we went to BW3s and celebrated Courtney's birthday, May 23.

Happy Birthday Court!

Congratulations Laura and Lou!!

Who's next?!

Laura's Marriage!

Laura's now a Reil!! Rhymes with SMILE! Laura and Lou were married at the court house on May 20, 2010. This wasn't planned... but a week before the wedding they found the pastor made a mistake and they had to get married at the court house!

Pretending their at a church!

In actuality, they're at the court house...

We had a lot of time before the Judge came in...

My friends and I enjoy taking "senior pics".

We all got pedicures and manicures...

More senior pictures! These are behind the church after the rehearsal.

I do believe we were supposed to be doing wedding stuff...

Peek-a-boo!

I'm not quite sure...

Laura's husband's guy friends call themselves ninjas. We found shirts that say, "girls make better ninjas". The night before the wedding, we wore them out to dinner.

This was all just leading up to the big day!

Laura's Bachelorette Party

We all ventured to Courtney's in Chicago, IL for Laura's Bachelorette Party. I really enjoyed the city and time spent with amazing people!

Right off the bat, when Laura realized, as we were on the subway, "Hey, you guys, that's not my bag. THAT'S NOT MY BAG!" We knew it was going to be a trip filled with laughter!
"Her bag" ended up being a stewardess's bag and she was waiting by baggage claim when Laura returned. To make things even funnier, her suitcase was a carry on!! 

Laura with HER suitcase!

The bachelorette bustin' a move!

We played Hockey! Court, Laura and I played this a little too much in college!

Jaime, Laura and I

Wishful thinking?!

I LOVE this picture! It wasn't posed!

Me and my little Laura Lou in Chicago! (I have always called her Laura Lou and she married a Lou!!)

CHICAGO!

This is how you fit 6 people + the taxi driver in a car! Laura is laying across Jaime, Sarah and Me. 

Poor Wendy is below Laura! 

The second time was a better way...

We thought we were lucky when we got a taxi van! Unfortunately, there was no back seat!

It was a great weekend and Courtney was an awesome hostess!
