Well not only the drinking but being in the wedding party, it's a long exhausting day that ends late! It's nice to have a "decompress day", alcohol or not. We're lucky that we're in the same state as this wedding--I feel bad for those who have to travel back across country the next day (which again, I think is going to be the reason for a lot of "No"s).
The more I think about it, the more I am wondering if this is a play to not get people to come. The guest list is around 120, but they emphasized that they wanted a small wedding. A huge chunk of the invitees are a 3 hour plane and 1.5 car ride away. That's quite the trip and then you still have to take off Monday.

That also brings about the inevitable infertility struggle phase.
It is really really hard to see people you love having babies juxtaposed with people you love not being able to get pregnant, having a hard time hanging out with those who are, etc.

Then it's even harder when people are dealing with pregnancy loss.

It is. My Little had a miscarriage last year and it was so hard on her - and hard on me in not knowing how to support her.

Awwww congrats, sweet baby. 
Man, this was the road trip of a lifetime. I'm a little sad that it's over but glad to be in my new home!

Finding out my husband needs about $3000 worth of dental work when we are spending so much for fall semester is really bad timing.

According to TimeHop, today is Michael Kors birthday. Just thought I'd share that with all of you.

Now this is the way GC is supposed to look with no spam. Any chance it can stay this way?
