Holy crap, micies. Last weekend, He-Mouse and I did a doubleheader: two weddings in two days. One was in Montauk, one was in Vermont. Both were really close friends of He-Mouse's from college. Both were gorgeous, and I'm glad we went to both, but holy crap, that was a lot of driving. We had to leave the first wedding (Montauk) at 6:45 in order to grab a series of three ferries, drive to Boston, crash with friends, and then drive up to Vermont on Saturday.
Interesting things that happened at these weddings:
1. One of the brides was v. preggers, and looked totally gorgeous. Big blousy dress worked, because I saw a waiter trying to get her to drink champagne. Also, pockets helped for the photos. But it wasn't, like, a secret or anything.
2. Other bride had a really cute tight dress, and one of the older ladies was like "OH! IT'S A PIPPA!" and made the bride turn so she could check out the butt. Weird. Are we all Pippas now, if we wear tight dresses?
3. I fell down a flight of stairs. Yep. Unwitnessed, with only minor cuts and scrapes. Rebounded and danced all night.
4. Both weddings served a raw oyster bar during cocktail hour. I'm a fan, but is this an east coast thing?
5. One wedding band played FOUR songs off of the do-not-play list. Lucky for them the bride was chill about it. I would've had words.
6. The other wedding had a steel drum player during the cocktail hour and it was totes bomb.
7. I like lobster rolls.
8. If you're planning a July wedding, beaches and mountains are not only pretty, but are fully 20 degrees cooler than inland, and that made a HUGE difference this weekend. Ugh, heat wave, ugh.
Anyway, we're glad we could attend both but have generally decided that we're too old to attempt a doubleheader in the future.
