The 20 Something Society

Hi peoples!

I just spent the weekend in Gulf Shores, Alabama (where my mom lives) to celebrate her wedding.  I was her maid of honor and photographer.  We didnt get to do alot but we did get to see and spend time with family members so we had a really good time…just wish we could have stayed longer!

We arrived at my mothers house on Thursday evening – hungry and tired.

This is my mothers backyard.  Am I jealous?  Why yes, yes I am.

We feasted on baked chicken and peas and played beauty parlor with my new short hair all while watching the football game.  The Steelers were playing and they are my new step dads team so they were pretty pumped.  

Friday we took the pup to the beach for the first time.  He wasn’t as impressed as we thought he would be and he wanted NOTHING to do with the water.  We walked four miles on the beach that morning.  I didnt take my camera because it was going to rain!  BOO!  We then went to the resort Caribe to scope out the site of the wedding, which was beautiful.  On the way there I realized……I FORGOT MY FRIGGIN DRESS IN HUNTSVILLE!!!!!   Yes…six and a half hours away and the only thing I forgot.  I panicked and demanded we go all the way to Huntsville and back for my perfect dress.  Which didnt happen.

My perfect beach wedding dress that I didnt get to wear.

So we took a little last minute trip to Cordova Mall in Pensacola, Florida where I found a suitable dress at Dillards.  All I have to say is I’m glad I was the only bridesmaid.

New beach wedding dress.  Not me in it.

I then pushed my regular healthy eating to the side and indulged in some Mellow Mushroom.  I let the husband pick the pizza since he had to drive to Pensacola for me.  Can you guess what he picked?

Mighty Meaty!

My grandparents, Uncle Danny, Cousin Ernest, and a close friend of the family Jeannie arrived that afternoon so we headed over to their condo at The Beach Club.  We ate boiled shrimp, listened to tunes, then watched Hot Fuzz.

It was windy on the balcony.

This is one of my favorite movies if you havent seen it, please do so. 

Saturday was the day of the wedding.  There was dancing.  There was Sushi.  There was a crooked cake.  There were lots of pictures.  There were sore muscles.  I will post some pictures when I am done editing them.

We left today after eating more shrimp, along with some crab claws and hush puppies, at Docs Seafood in Orange beach.

Docs is a place where the locals go, its my moms favorite place to eat seafood.  Our server was at the wedding the day before!
