Dallas and Back

I hit Dallas last week for my friend Erin's wedding... I was her matron of honor and it was indeed an honor to help her with all the shopping, planning, running around, and all the other duties that come with planning a wedding.

A few photos from my cell phone are below.  I can't wait to see the real wedding photos..  Erin also had a "photo booth" at the reception, complete with props.  Those will be the real gems, I suspect.  I hope to post a few of me and my friend Jen, if I can get ahold of the jpegs.  We tried our hardest to look our worst for those.

My updo... an old-fashioned looking bun on the side.  I loved it.  Had to blindly choose a salon three days before the wedding. Thankfully, the stylist was amazing. She was at the Michael Raymond Salon in Dallas.

My dear friend Jen, also part of the wedding party, and her fancy updo.  She is wearing earrings the bride gave her for the wedding.  She wanted to die, because she loves huge flashy fun jewelry.

The sister of the bride, Ebony, and the bride, fixing hair and making a point (*see the finger).  

Eb and me... friends since elementary school.

Jen and me, ready for the ceremony to begin.

The bride, post wedding.  Erin's make up looked spectacular... she got it done at the MAC counter that morning.

The bridal party went to get photos done after the ceremony... these will be so cool with the Dallas skyline and the Big White Bridge to Nowhere in the background.

My sweet wedding date, Calvin.  He was a the best travel companion ever, running errands to Costco, and hopping flights with the best of us!
