As soon as we got home from the beach, I had just enough time to do laundry, decorate for football/fall, and re-pack for Robin & Ben's wedding weekend.
I met Robin on Wednesday for a surprise massage! I hope she was actually surprised and was able to relax, if only for an hour. After the massage and another little trip to a particular parlor, we ate dinner at Don Jose, because no life event is complete without it
We made our way to WandaBear's, went to bed after midnight, and were up early to decorate for the reception. Here are some "during" pictures of our very long-very tiring-amazingly fun day!

We went to bed late again on Thursday, for a short nap, to wake up early on Friday for manis/pedis. After some pampering and last minute touches at the reception, we went home to enjoy Bridesmaids and a small cat-nap.

After rehearsing and rehearsing, we sat down at a beautiful restaurant and had a fabulous meal! Robin gave us the most amazing gifts - a monogrammed robe and fantastic jewelry (you'll see all of that soon!) We went back to WandaBear's, chatted, giggled, and were sleepy enough to attempt to sleep. I was sleeping
soundly lightly, until I received a "i-can't-sleep-text" from the bride-to-be at approximately 5:30am. So I crawled in bed with my best friend, we talked and watched The Wedding Date and Sweet Home Alabama until it was ready to get out of bed and get Robin to the chapel!

The past 9 months of planning led up to the most amazing wedding. To say Robin was stunning is an absolute understatement. Most everything was flawless (minus a small cake snafu and Amy getting her foot stuck in a vent at the church which led to a gaping hole). But really, it was a beautiful day, she was beautiful, he was handsome, and they are perfect for each other. I couldn't be happier for the two of them, and am so honored to have been such a special part of their day.

As soon as I got home the next day, I completely crashed.
My feet were blistered up - a sign of a good time!
Next up: Brockwell BABIES!
