Alternatively titled, Mom’s One Day Vacay<\/em>.<\/p>\n

When plans for this past weekend got mixed up last minute I was a little bummed. Still, I was beyond grateful that Mema packed up and headed up here quickly to take care of the girls while David worked so I could make the 4 hour trek to Atlanta for Laura’s wedding. Laura is amazing. She is the sister of one of my best friends that I’ve had since the sixth grade and I love that family so much. I felt honored to be included in the celebration.<\/p>\n

I arrived and went straight to the bridal suite to see the bride getting dolled up while I chatted with best girlfriends from college. I was so excited to see everyone, but soon\u00a0it was time to disperse and get dressed.<\/p>\n

That’s when it hit me… I have a hotel room. To myself.<\/em> With no responsibilities. I don’t think I can express how foreign it felt for me to take my time getting ready, flipping through cable and not having something<\/em> to do or someone<\/em> to tend to. It was INCREDIBLE.<\/p>\n

For those that asked on instagram<\/a>, my dress is this Adrianna Papell<\/a>, which comes in petite! High fives for my fellow shorties.<\/p>\n

It was the most beautiful day for a wedding, about 75 and not a cloud in the sky.<\/p>\n

I wiped a tear\u00a0per usual as I watched Laura walk down the aisle arm and arm with her dad. Listening to the ceremony on mine and David’s anniversary (albeit alone), was a great reminder of how grateful I am to have found him and I sent a mental kiss his way as I watched Laura and Wilson say their vows.<\/p>\n

Then, it was onto the party!<\/p>\n

All the details were in place at the Atlanta Country Club. From the patio bars to wedding cake; all was picturesque.<\/p>\n

\"2015-05-02<\/a>It was a really fabulous evening. Drinking wine, hanging out with my friends and eating several small plates of food and red velvet cake was incredibly enjoyable.<\/p>\n

\"wedding-<\/a>And the band? They were ON POINT and we danced our booties off all evening.<\/p>\n

If you need a wedding band, I highly recommend Loose Chain<\/a>. I fully blame them for this picture:<\/p>\n

…not the pinot grigio.<\/em><\/p>\n

The duck face is not my best look, but man oh man was it fun.<\/p>\n

I didn’t bring my nice camera, so I couldn’t snap a picture that did the bride justice- absolutely stunning!<\/p>\n

And after the festivities I returned to my clean, quiet hotel room so a blissful night’s sleep. I slept all the way until… 6:30. #momproblems<\/p>\n

And even though I enjoyed every second of my four hour drive home filled with talk radio and not a single preschooler song, I was more than excited to see my girls run to me as I pulled in the driveway.<\/p>\n

Who knew a one day vacay could be so incredibly refreshing!!<\/p>\n

What is your favorite part of weddings?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I love seeing the first song choice. Laura and Wilson’s was the beautifully classic Stand by Me. Fun fact, mine and David’s was Everything by Michael Buble<\/a>!<\/p>\n
