In May, one of my best friends, Dawn, got married to a wonderful guy in a castle in Ireland! And it was the most fun wedding I’ve ever been to! I was chief bridesmaid and our other best friend, Karen, was bridesmaid without portfolio (she didn’t have to wear a dress or walk down the aisle but had lots of other background duties that required lots of patience). The bridal gang and most of the guests stayed in the castle and played til morning in the one pub that was downstairs. It was like one big slumber party!
Also, I don’t know what possessed us, but the day before the wedding, me, Karen and some of the Irish boys (including the groom) decided it might be fun to run into the Atlantic Ocean in 50 degree Fahrenheit (10°C) weather with regular bathing suits. We raced up and down the pebbly beach once to warm ourselves up and then took the dive. I couldn’t feel my limbs for awhile after that and poor Karen caught a cold. But it was super fun!
Yay! A huge slumber party where I had to go yo bed early
only the first night!
