Ahhh... Memories

Here are some pictures. Everyone I've spoken to says that the photos did not do any of us justice which I'm really freakin' hoping cuz... Well, um... Judging from the photos, we aren't the most attractive bunch. Although, I've never claimed that bright green was my color, it certainly seemed like it looked better on the day of than it seems to in retrospect. There are some REALLY bads one that Scott's bff Adam took. I've decided that if I ever get egotistical, I need to pull out those bad boys and I'll back to my usual self-deprecating Amber.

So, here they are in all their UN-Glory... Although, Molly looks pretty damn good!

This is a pic from the Bachelorette Derby evening when Brig, Molly and I went to Fourth Street Live and tried to act like we were 21 again.



Chillin' in the cry room waiting for our cue to get lined up (Ave Maria)



Me and Brig backstage before the big show.



Molly and her sister Jenn (Maid of Honor), awaiting the ceremony.

Um, yeah... This is me and Brig shakin' it hardcore on the danceflo. I think this was right after I said something like, "Yeah, I'm just not really feelin' it tonight. No song has pushed the limits and made me want to break it down hardcore..." And then they played Push It.



This is Steve givin' Molly a little spin on the dancefloor. This was at the end of the night when they redid their first dance b/c the dj played the WRONG song for their actual first dance. It was supposed to be Harvest Moon and the dj played Promise of a Man by Neil Young instead. So, at the end of the night, the second to last song, the dj played the right song for them. It was a great moment. Then, sort of out of the blue, people grabbed candles from the table and started to encircle them with light. It was one of those perfect moments in life that brands itself onto your brain forever.



Brig, Polly and I at the Outlook Inn after the reception. This is where the evening takes a turn and gets a little fuzzy. We look like we're having a great time in the pictures, though.



The guy on the far left is some random guy we all met at the Outlook. We gave him fake names (I was Leslie) and basically spent the night talking him up. At one point, we gave him a standing ovation of sorts for absolutely no reason. I'm not really sure how it all started, but I'm pretty sure Jason talked the guy up so much that we all were pretty excited about him. To be honest, I know it was Molly's wedding and all, but at some point in the evening, it really became "Jason's night out..." We just followed his lead.



Saturday night at the Monkey Wrench- Molly, Ryan, Brian and Derek recreating a photo taken at 999 Willivee when they were all roommates. It is frightening how little these guys have changed. It looks like the same damn photo.



Not the best photo we've ever taken, but this is me and my man, S.D.

Brig, Me, Scott and Ryan before we were all annihilated.

Ryan, Brian, Brig and Me all dressed up. This is at the beginning of the reception.



Molly and the boys upstairs, Ryan, Brian and Derek



Molly, still single, in the cry room getting ready to make her entrance.



Molly and her folks walking down the aisle. Mr. and Mrs. Wade are smokin' in their get-ups!



Molly and Steve leave the church amid wellwishers and bubbles. I like this picture a lot. They look really happy.



Molly (and her cousin Jenn) feeling the excitement as we await the ceremony.



Scott and I nursing hangovers at the Bluegrass BBQ the next day.



Ryan and Molly at the Monkey Wrench Saturday night after an exhausting three days of partying.

A good time was had by most all. Steve and Molly are in Mexico right now through Sunday. It hasn't even been a week and I already miss them!

Dear Amber,
You look absolutely gorgeous! Do NOT put yourself down; you are much more attractive than you seem to give yourself credit for. You are very pretty and sophisticated (even in the green which really doesn't look bad on you). I'm glad that you had such a good time! You were really looking forward to this wedding. (By the way, I know what you mean about pepto pink polish esp. for toes. I, too, always seem to gravitate toward it, but you have to remember that I am "old school," and pink was a very big color during my heyday.) Tell Scott that he looked quite "dashing" as well. All in all, Molly's wedding seemed to be a success, and I'm glad that she seemed to enjoy it and make it enjoyable for her friends as well.

okay, so did molly get married on friday? then you all partied with her on saturday? or do i have that wrong?

Amber said...

Thanks, ladies, but still ain't convinced. Molly got married on Friday night followed by a reception then on Saturday, there was a barbecue. On Saturday evening, we all went out again. It was craziness. It was a blast, though. I'm still tired...

Amber, you have to be kidding?! You look HOT! Seriously, You really do look beautiful and young. I can't figure out why you don't like these pics. I love your glasses on you, by the way. Looks like you all had an incredible time!

Amber said...

Okay- I think it's one of two things- 1. I don't look like I'm used to looking and so that throws me off. 2. I don't look like I thought I looked and Brig and Molly look a little different in these photos than they did in real life. And please keep in mind that I posted the 10 best of about 100 (90 of which are v. bad).
