Fried Wedding Brain

My parents came into town this weekend for a family friend's wedding and to look at reception venues. After a weekend of wedding, wedding, wedding, I can honestly say that my brain is a little fried. That being said, it was still a great weekend. Friday night we had dinner with our good friends the Hailey's. It's always so nice when we all get together. Ann really went all out and had the tables decorated complete with linens and chair covers. Saturday was crazy. We started off the day with the four of us (Mom, Dad, Casey, and me) going to the church to meet Bill and go over some wedding details. It was a lot of fun to meet the man who married my parents and watch them go down memory lane togther. Then it was off to look at venues for the reception. We were able to eliminate some right off the bat. Others made the short list (Petroleum Club and Belo Mansion) which we are currently still going over. The boys were such troopers that my mom and I gave them gold stars. Not once did they complain. In fact, they really seemed into it! After reception venue searching, we had to run home and get all dolled up for Natalie Kinnebrew's wedding. And what a wedding it was! It was gorgeous and I got a lot of great ideas for my wedding. Sunday was all about football (it was a bad day for the Cowboys and Charges though which made for a sad Casey and Dad). For dinner, we went to Pappasitos so the in-law's could meet. I don't think it could have gone any better! Monday, my mom and I continued the search and now we are including the Tower Club on the list of considerations. By the afternoon though, our brains were fried so we went for gelatto and to a movie. I'm really excited to finalize a venue so we can move onto the next thing on the wedding checklist!
