Megan and Ryan's wedding

What a perfect day and beautiful wedding!

I had the privileged of being Megan's maid of honor and being a special part of their big day!  Megan is my longest friend- she and I have known each other since I was in 4th grade. She was the big sister I never had and beat me up and made me watch scary movies just like a big sister should have :)

I was so excited when Ryan and Megan got engaged they are perfect for each other and I was so happy to be with them.

The festivities started Friday with the rehearsal and dinner. I had never seen the chapel before and it was STUNNING! Rehearsal went very smoothly they just had to run through the binding ceremony because the pastor had never performed one before. It was really cool and kept everyone engaged the next day.  Otherwise everything went great. We had some time to kill so we went back to the hotel after and moved dresses around and got changed for dinner.  Dinner was a Cafe Luna- my FAVORITE restaurant in Raleigh. YUM. It was a big wedding weekend because the hotel had 3 other weddings and Cafe Luna had 3 other rehearsal dinners that night! My parents came up for the wedding and Justin brought them to dinner. We sat with Megan and Ryan along with Kristin and her fiance Brian (the best man for the wedding). My parents sat with the other bridesmaids and got to know the bridal party.  The night was filled with laughter and friends just like it should be!

Afterwards I headed to the hotel with Megan. It was her last single night so I told her that I would spend the night with her for our last sleepover!  I was very tired so prob not much fun (Sorry Megan). It was a perfect night some TV some giggling and of course ice cream right before bed. I slept like a rock and Megan even got some pretty good sleep too!  The next morning we woke up and worked out - Megan has become quiet the work out junkie running every day and I am training for the half marathon...so it worked out perfect!

Then it was off to Junction Salon to get our hair done! They did a great job :)

After snacking at the hotel we went for our bridesmaid luncheon which had DELICIOUS food (just a preview for the rest of the night).

Then we got ready and headed to the church. We got to ride in a limo which is only the 2nd time I've ever been in one and got to the church and sat around and waited. That is better than being rushed but we had lots of time to kill.

The ceremony was beautiful and everything went off without a hitch!  Off to the captiol building we went for pictures of the bridal party and then onto the reception.  Everything that night went so well and we all had a blast.



Dad and I got to practice our slow dancing and he even danced to a couple fast songs with us.




It was an all around great time and I hope they have a great time on their honeymoon. We have Maddie and Zym while they are gone and are enjoying having them!
