Weekend Wrap

Hope everyone had a great weekend. “The Hayes Baker” came to Birmingham this past weekend (Woop Woop). She was a bridesmaid in Christina Knox’s (friend from college) wedding. I met the bridal party out for drinks after the rehearsal dinner on Friday night at Black Market Bar. Doesn’t the name give you the feeling it’s going to be a swanky place in which you need to dress up? Well, it’s not. It’s a sports bar. Ha

Hayes and I may have drifted to the Lakeview area after for old times sake. Hayes ordered us hotdogs from the stand out front. It was quite the adventure. We enjoyed them on the way home, all 1.5 each…mmmm.

We ran into Josephine!

We then got back to my place and watched videos from our adventures in Spain and Rome (Summer 2005)- I need to do a post or two about that! Anyhoo- we stayed up till 4 30 in the morning cracking up at our horrible haircuts and funny personalities walking around the streets of Spain and Rome.

Saturday we had lunch at Roly Poly (which I do love), request of Hayes….last time she visited we went to Panera Bread.  I like to think if I hadn't been in Birmingham in 4 years I would pick different places....but hey, I'm not judging (well maybe a little!)

I got a pedicure on Saturday, and I am loving the color-  I don't know why I am feeling dark colors already.  I admit I am ready for fall.  Isn't it pretty though? It's called Smokin Hot.

Saturday evening I went to Christina's wedding.  This was my first wedding to attend on Samford's campus.  The chapel is so pretty, and Christina looked stunning walking down the aisle.

The reception was at B&A Warehouse.  I really like this venue for wedding receptions and was very impressed with the food quality and display.  See pics of the night below:

This was the best tasting cake-  It's from a lady who has trained and worked under Barb's Cakes (she has been featured on TLC)

The Bride!

Instead of a Groom's Cake- they had this sweets table set up.  I wish my camera was better....Anyways, It was a peanut butter moose and a chocolate moose in little mini martini glasses.

Chinese Station- They had little Chinese to go boxes that you could fill with rice and a variety of toppings

Little mini egg rolls- So Cute



So good to see Hayes!

Another Samford run in at the Wedding- p.s My dress has pockets!  I get really excited when a dress has pockets....ha

By the way this weekend I rocked fake lashes- I just wanted to do something different.  I now think they are a must have for an event- Why not? They are super cheap and add some DRAMA to your eye!

And...............BAM!

I also got rid of my high school highlights- Thank goodness!
