Congratulations again to Mr. and Mrs. Davison.
This weekend was awesome. I love road trips, I love weddings, but I love being home more. The event officially commenced Saturday morning once I finished picking up Fretts and Millie. It's funny, we were only staying 1 night and we had this much packed. Mind you, I am what seems to be like a worriesome parent and packed everything and anything. Seriously. I packed a griddle.
This was our hotel room that we completely destroyed in under two minutes. We were so grateful because check-in was at 3:00, the wedding was at 3:00, but we arrived at 12:30ish. They had the room ready for us in 10 minutes.
Thank you Best Western!
Once we were all beautified and maxified we called a cab to get to our destination, the Glencairn Golf Course in Milton, Ontario. It's funny that the cab driver didn't know where it was, so we all pulled out our cell phones to GPS our location.
This was the gorgeous ceiling.
We were seated and awaited the ceremony. This was my first Indian wedding and I enjoyed every minute of it. The ceremony, service, and outfits were all fantastic.
Cocktails started right after the wedding and my favourite part...open bar! Hello! My kind of wedding. The appetizers that were out and about were so tasty as well. After an hour of cocktails, it was time to head to the Aberdeen Room for dinner.
I can't begin to tell you how amazing the food was. Honestly, the first time I have ever been to a wedding where I was full. Best food ever, hands down! Also, the way it was served was great. They served unlimited platters to your table to share amongst your group. This really forces you to get to know your neighbours. Excellent ice breaker. Way to go Table 12.
After dinner, the Bride ventured our way to have a little visit. She looked absolutely gorgeous! It's funny that Millie and I got a picture with Purvi, but I don't think we got one photo with Steve.
So on everyone's table, there were these sticks...that honestly looked like oversized Indian chopsticks...talk about an awkward start. Luckily, we learned quickly what they were for; a dance. Which by the way, was awesome! It got everyone involved and was so unique. I liked them so much. In fact, I was pretending to be a member of the the Ninja Turtles half the night.
After hours of what seemed like Millie and I choreographing dance numbers, it was time to sit out. The whole wedding was amazing, except for the DJ. Saying that though, I know he probably pleased 90% of the crowd. I like a lot of older and classics songs. He played a lot of new things and only about three quarters of the song before changing it to the next. So just when you were getting into it...switch! Also, there is a song that I request at almost every wedding to perform, the Cha Cha Slide...and he did not play it...
It was probably on the Bride and Groom's do not play list! haha
At the end of the night, I had collected leftover sticks!
I figured I could come up with some use for them! I couldnt let them go to waste!
Here's a close up of the sticks:
After a midnight chip run, it was time for bed. These lovely ladies shared a bed so they could keep each other warm while I slept by the open window. The poor girls had to put up with my snoring most of the night. I think Fretts' finger pretty much summed up how she felt towards me by the morning.
We all slept in, but were ready in 5 minutes. We hit up the hotels diner (Troys), and headed out on our venture home. The ride back was quiet and tiresome, but we all had a blast. Can't wait for the next wedding! Oh wait, thats in 5 days!
Here's to summer loving.
Looks like a fun wedding! And I think it's totally normal to a) act like a Ninja Turtle and b) want to Cha Cha Slide. It is the best wedding song out there, you know. Visiting from Alexandra's blog hop.
ReplyDeleteRight! The one thing I was trying to decide though, was I more like Donatello with his staff or Raphael with wooden sai's? haha
