Fun Fact Friday 09.13.13

Happy Friday!

It's a rainy Friday here in Boston and honestly, I don't hate it. I've been craving a sweatpants and couch kind of night for a while now and I think Im finally going to get it this weekend. You don't know how happy this makes me. Our weekend currently contains zero plans. Zero. And we're pretty pumped about it. 

Here's 5 things I'm currently loving:

1. Happy Anniversary to my parents! They've been married for 32 years now. 32! And I couldn't be happier for them. 

2. I've been on an app downloading binge recently. I am loving the Cartwheel app for Target! Every store needs something like this. It allows you to save coupons to your phone to redeem by barcode at checkout. 25% off Threshold, 25% off Nate Berkus just to name a few...thanks for the tip Lauren!

3. After borrowing some from a friend at one of the recent weddings (same Lauren mentioned in #2, she's a lifesaver!), I've finally purchased a pressed powder. I've been using it all week and just love the soft, smooth finished look it gives my skin. I went with Revlon Nearly Naked. No real reason why other than looking for something lightweight (and I liked the packaging) but it has worked out great.

4. I ordered prints for our dining room from this Etsy dealer last week - Belle Botanica - and just love them! The quality is even better than I expected and the current buy 3 get 1 free deal totally worked in my favor. We're making progress over here. House updates to come next week.

5. Do you think Tucker's new dog beds a little too big? Whoops! We'll be exchanging it. But I do love the material and quality of this bed. (Don't mind the ugly power cords, we're working on it...)

How about you, any weekend plans? Any good apps I should download? 

Have fantastic weekend!

K&L Tie the Knot!

After a great night with family (wedding recap here and here), we woke up to brunch in the hotel before packing up and heading out. Heading out to another wedding that is! One of J's long-time (high school) friends was getting married and we couldn't have been more excited. We've come to love this couple and just gotten closer over the years. I recapped Krysten's shower here, but the main event was incredible.

It was my first time visiting the Endicott Estate and I loved the charm of it. What a fun venue! While the weather was a little iffy during the day, by the time the wedding started, somebody upstairs was on our side! And even if it had rained, Krysten's glow would have kept us all warm. She was just stunning, with the biggest smile on all night. 

The Ceremony

And I may have caught Lee sniffling. ;)

Krysten's nephew was the ring bearer and was so cute. J and I died when we saw him standing up there so quiet with the bride and groom. Hey, he took his job very seriously!

Husband & wife!

Details

Krysten & Lee used The Candy Jar for their flowers (I have mentioned them many times before, she's amazingly talented!). The purple roses she's able to get are by far my favorite. They are just the perfect shade.

The Reception

I don't even know where to begin with this one. Everyone danced the entire night away. Everyone. From the very first dance, where Krysten and Lee asked other couples to join them, the dance floor remained packed. The band was out of this world. Not just any band, a 10+ piece band with a trombone, saxophone, keyboard, even sound manager! And to top it off, Krysten's dad plays in this band! Although he got to enjoy the evening off, they certainly pulled him onto stage a handful of times to perform. This band was fantastic. Top notch.

Krysten's dad!

The R photo is Krysten's uncle, who is an incredibly talented, well-known saxophonist. He flew in from LA for the wedding, and has his own CD! He was unbelievably good.

Brides performance. Seriously talented family!

Oh we had so much fun celebrating this wedding. The guys with the handsome groom, some of the gals with the gorgeous bride. 

Congratulations Lee & Krysten! What an amazing wedding. We are sooo happy and excited for you two!

xoxo, T

G&N: Party Pics!

Yesterday's post got a little too long so I decided it needed two. If you missed the initial recap, you can find it here. But let's move on to the reception pictures from Greg & Nat's wedding day.

They hired the same band J&A used last year and they were so great (again).

Listening to the MOH and Best Man speeches. Both were spot on, had me laughing and tearing up!

And before I knew it, the dancing begun! Oh man did their guests know how to dance. There were dance circles, a soul train, and even (below) spin the bottle - dance! It was hilarious, and everyone had so much fun.

 Soul train!

Lovebirds!

 After the wedding, we headed back to the hotel bar to continue the celebration. Have you ever seen a more amazing after party dress?! Gorgeous.

Congratulations Greg & Natalie. We couldn't be happier for you two! You were meant for each other. And I look forward to the years of memories and fun times to come!

xoxo, T
