Wedding Bells!!!

Although I don't remember any bells involved...
Anyhow, so Eric and I went to our friends' wedding yesterday. It was such a beautful event! Very traditional, and I could tell that A LOT of planning was involved. They had 5-6 bridesmaids and groomsmen, so it was a HUGE wedding party, by my standards. They also included Sadie and Gryphon (great danes) in the wedding party, and they were walked down the aisle by siblings of the bride and grooms. It was such a nice ceremony!!!! They rented a really killer Rolls Royce, too, that the bride arrived in, and of course took the newly married couple to the reception. The groom and two groomsmen rode their motocycles to the ceremony! CRAZY!
The reception was fabulous! The food was awesome, and there was an open bar, and the wedding cake was probably the best wedding cake I've ever had, with the exceptions being at both my wedding and my wedding reception in Chicago. My cupcake wedding cake was the best cake EVER!!!
The dance was a lot of fun, and I think the bride and groom really enjoyed themselves. They're off to Hawaii now as we speak.
Rick and Susan, congratulations on your marriage, and congratulations on such a successful event!!

So that's what I've been up to. On Thursday night I went to my first concert band rehearsal with the Buffalo Grove band. It was fun, and I'm looking forward to next week. Other than that, yeah, nothing much new!!
Eric has been busy. He went over to his old highschool on Thursday and Friday and he played for all the band classes. He passed out a bunch of business cards, and we're hoping that he gets a lot more students!!! The band director there also emailed a couple of the other band directors in the area and one of them called Eric when we were on the way to the wedding!! He's going to do the same thing over at that school! He may start making real money yet!!!!
