No, I am not sad about that. In fact, not even sure that a boquet was thrown. That is the way it should be. When we are all late twenties and early thirties is there really a need? The answer is NO! I will stand corrected if Tara threw the bouquet after I made my exit -- at which point I hope that Olivia (in her skirt that said her name all over it) jumped up as high in the air as she could to beat out Tara's nieces who just might have been in competition for the bouquet.
In all honesty, Tara's sealing and wedding dinner yesterday were perfect. No unnecessary hoopla. Classy, grown up and a true celebration. It was how it should be. People who cared were involved and I don't think she got 47 cookie sheets and 53 sets of dishtowels from every person her parents had known at one point in their lives and felt obligated to invite. Nope, this was just the people who had truly played a part in the lives of the bride and groom. No boring line, no wedding mints. There was good food, music, friends and lots of laughing and talking. Tara looked beautiful and her parents were elated!
Tara was my roommate way back in 1998. . . . when we were lots younger. She is amazing and I am excited that she found someone who saw how amazing she is. I didn't get any pictures -- thanks Dim for sending these to me. It was so fun to see all of my old roommates and celebrate with TJ! Lets just hope it doesn't take another 6 years for one of us to get married and bring everyone back together (garn, we missed you). . . . EmS why don't you look into that getting married thing okay!?
Garn. . . this picture is just for you -- I know it isn't a great picture but it has "the finger" (classic Jennie) in it and I couldn't leave it off. . . . If you want to know what Jennie was saying while she waved the finger -- call me!

What!!! You can't leave me hanging like that. Sneaky sneaky.
I was totally laughing at the picture before I even read your commentary.
Oh I'm so sad that I missed it. I was pouting in my heart all day on Thursday. But I'm glad that you guys were there.
And I'm so happy for TJ!
I agree, what more do you need besides a dinner with good friends that actually mean something to you??? Good for her!
Sounds nice ... but you really should have stayed to catch that bouquet you know? ;) You can catch the one at my reception!
Don't even know if you'll read this! I am a little behind on my read everyone's blog and catch up! But I think I might just look into that marriage thing...I think this year is the year-o-ber-and-em!
