jes and don’s wedding yesterday was beautiful. jes looked beautiful…it’s funny how we always see each other all dressed up at weddings. jes was always much more–and still is–like me in the sense that we never really got dressed up for anything; we instead preferred to wear what was comfortable. seeing her with her hair done up and in her big white dress…well, she was just beautiful.
i think we bridesmaids looked nice too. 😉 jes did a really good job of picking our dresses. the color was great–a dark purple–and the cut was flattering on everyone. and the location–up in the mountains–was ideal. everywhere we went, from the rehearsal dinner to the church to the reception, was very nice. i took a lot of pictures, but since i’m still in charlotte i haven’t been able to download them yet. perhaps i’ll post a few when i get back to stanford tonight.
i’m starting to wonder who will get married next. i mean, i’ve been in a wedding in may/june for the past three years–cayce, leila, jes. i’ve got a streak going! somebody’s gotta get engaged really soon, so i can have another wedding to go to next summer. 😉
as we left the wedding though, the oddest thing happened. i’m walking towards amanda’s car when i hear “sarah?” behind me. i turn around and see this skinny guy in a t-shirt and cut-off khakis, baseball hat, scruffy goatee, birkenstocks. he says “do you remember me?” i stare for a minute. “jonathan wash?!?” it was jonathan wash! i was great friends with him when i was in 9th and 10th grades. he was a year ahead of me in school, but we were both in marching band together; he played trumpet. i hadn’t talked to him or heard about him, much less seen him, in at least five years, probably longer. it was totally random; he was in boone for another wedding to be held today, and happened to be driving by the inn as we were leaving the reception. he said he saw me and thought “that has to be sarah,” so he stopped. i think he was shocked to see me in a dress with my hair all fixed up. 😉 the funniest thing about the whole situation for me though was a little inside joke i had going for myself, something i knew that nobody else did:
i had the hugest crush on jonathan in high school. oh man, did i ever. we never dated, but he kissed me once. tee hee. hugest crush. lasted for a year and a half, until i finally gave up on him and moved on to matt, the guy i worked with at godiva. tee hee.
anyway, random, eh?
between jes’s wedding, catching up with my old high school group, seeing my family, and randomly running into jonathan, it was a really great weekend. i’m glad i came home.
yesterday was katie and brian’s birthday, so we all went out to dinner. only david couldn’t come, because he was working. it was a nice time, even if brian does still like to contradict every little thing anyone says. 😉 we came home afterwards for cake and ice cream, and then i watched harry potter on dvd and headed to bed.
the twins turned 19. i can’t believe my “little” brother and sister have only a year left of their teens. i guess now is the point in my life where i start to wonder where the time went.
i fly back in about four hours. i’m gonna go have some lunch. mmm.
