Get Me To The Church On Time

 Hi!! 

Here to finally give you the big wedding report. To say it’s been a whirlwind is an understatement. This morning started off with me going to pick up coffee and pastries for the bride and her step-daughter. I practically skipped the whole way there because I was so excited, and my joy did not go unnoticed as the grumpy barista who commented on how happy I was this morning. I politely told him my best friend was getting married in my very loud and enthusiastic American voice. It was enough to get a grin out of the grump. 

Jes then had a hair and makeup artist come to doll her up, while I got myself ready and helped Lana become an “underwater rockstar princess.” 

We were going right along schedule until we went downstairs and found out there were no taxis available in the entire city! Apparently they had a wait time for over half an hour to an hour. Even worse, there was no Uber that would take my ride. So, in the most classically Jes turn of events, we hopped on the late bus, wedding dress and all. Mind you we were absolutely panicked by this time, but thankfully got ahold of the groom to let him and all of the guests know we were running late. 

The lunch was lovely, and with only the closest friends and family members of Jes and Pete it made for quite an intimate party full of love and laughter. I read my maid of honor speech, which got tears and smiles from the crowd. And we carried on with the couple exchanging the five things they loved about each other most in lieu of vows. I couldn’t imagine a more quirky and perfect ceremony for the new couple before we met with a much larger group on the beach to party the rest of the day away!! 

It was an evening of mingling and laughs as I met Jes and Pete’s new tribe of quirky, international, and interesting friends. One couple I met is preparing to motor cross around the world! I invited them to meet me in LA when they eventually get there, heads up mom and dad we may be having some guests over in 2024 lol.

Anyways, it was a very chill and lovely day that went by so quickly I can’t believe I’m writing this post already! I’m off to Scotland tomorrow so I better get some rest. 

Love you all,

Carolyn
