Well I guess I really don’t feel like blogging about the wedding yet. Can’t.bring.myself.to.do.it.
So I’m blogging about the week before the wedding instead!
My mom and I spent HOURS making a million cake pops (a la Bakerella) for wedding favors. You can read step by step instructions of the cake pop making process here.
Yellow cake and vanilla frosting:
Dipped in chocolate:
And individually wrapped and tied with purple and green bows:
My best friend and maid of honor, Gina came over and helped us tie the bows on the cake pops. At some point in that tediousness, we started drinking wine. My dad came and picked up my mom and Gina and I continued drinking wine and taking pictures of ourselves… This was my bachelorette party of sorts. I wasn’t into the whole wear a sash and crown and go out to clubs thing so we just hung out at my house drinking wine, listening to music and making fools of ourselves dancing.
My coworkers made me wear this bride to be pin when they had my office bridal shower.
Gina is engaged too! She’s getting married next October. Can’t wait!
We danced to the George of the Jungle soundtrack until Aaron walked in on us…
He laughed at us then starting dancing too:
And singing:
Then Gina’s fiance Jason came over!
We hung out until maybe 1-130 AM then finally made it to bed. The next day was my bridal shower. Gina and I weren’t feeling exactly awesome that morning but we made it through for the most part…
I’ll have pictures of the bridal shower probably by next weekend so I’ll get those up soon. The wedding has been over for almost a month now! I can’t believe it! I’m going to blog about the wedding eventually but in the meantime, here’s a picture of the bridal party for you:
From left to right: Aaron’s brother Dave, Aaron, Me, Sister-in-law Sam, BFF Gina, Aaron’s friend Matt, my friend Laura, Aaron’s friend Josh.
Alright time to eat popcorn and hang out on the couch reading blogs and doing laundry. Aaron is at band practice this evening so I’m by myself. For Pittsburgh readers, Aaron’s band, Meeting of Important People, has a show this Saturday, the 24th at the Thunderbird in Lawrenceville. I’ll be there!
Wow! The cake pops look great! I am in awe of how you were able to make your favors, place cards, cake & cupcakes and everything else you did by yourself. No bachelorette party for me either – ugh! I cringed everytime I saw those sashes/tiaras, etc. at stores. Much preferred my rehearsal day afternoon spent in our sunroom hanging out with my 2 best friends and drinking tea.
Those cake pops are adorable!!!! Congrats on being married
The wedding photo is gorgeous!
Gorgeous photo, and congratulations! I swear I’ve heard of Aaron’s band before….
If you’re in Pittsburgh now, you should come out to one of his shows! There’s one this weekend in Lawrenceville and one next weekend at the Warhol Museum.
