Made in Richmond

It didn’t start out so hot for me. I haven’t been feeling too well the last couple days, so I was unable to get up and help Ross and my in-laws do some much needed work in the backyard. Seriously, it was one of those things that if you even sit up you feel like you’re going to die. I got a lot of sleep last night and I think that helped somewhat. I got up and Ross and I puttered around the house for a while before we had to go and get ready for Cory and Tabatha’s wedding. Cory is the one who performed our marriage ceremony and we love him and Tab so much. They got engaged a while ago and the wedding has been a long time coming - needless to say, we were excited.

Weddings for us are typically like a VT reunion. I didn’t go to Tech but I spent many weekends there to see Ross (and honestly, just as much to see his friends). We don’t all live far away from each other but sometimes life gets in the way and we just don’t get to hang out that much. Weddings are the time that we all get to reconnect and be ridiculous.

The ceremony was beautiful and the reception (at the Jefferson) was so. much. fun. Cory and Tab looked so happy and we all had a great time. There was much dancing, drinking (on Ross’s part - let’s just say he finished the night be yelling lots of ridiculous things to strangers AND hugging pretty much everyone he knew and *didn’t* know at the wedding), and celebration.

We left the wedding at around 11 and went to the Village Cafe to meet up with MattWhite & co. We had good snacks and great conversation. A great ending to a great evening.

I’m going to bed with a sore face and a sore stomach from all of the laughing we did the afternoon and evening. Seriously, a great, great day.
