Wedding Season

There comes a point in your lives when you stop going to 21st birthday bar nights and graduation parties from college and start going to Weddings, showers, and "gasp" baby showers. I think Quoc and I have about at least 6 weddings within a years span. I'm in 2 of those weddings, and have 4 wedding showers to go to. We have four neighbors we are friends with; one of our neighbors got married last november, another gets married this weekend. One just had a baby, another is due later this summer. And the last neighbor we are friends with got engaged the same week as we did. There must be something in the water haha. We're in one of those growing up transition periods in life. When do you stop going to all night binge fests and start going to couples dinners and kids birthday parties? I think the best thing to remember through all this is balance. We still go out and have fun but we also get up early and do house stuff and couples things. Well Quoc gets up early....

Weddings and showers are not only a part of an adult transition period. They can be a lot of fun, open bars, dancing, good food, and good people. Plus you get a lot of ideas for your own wedding. The fun does come with a price though. With shower gifts, bachelor/bachelorette parties, travel costs, and wedding gifts....and then multiply that by six you can really break bank. So we try to cut costs where we can. One thing that is nice about having your two older sisters getting married before you is that you get a lot of pass-me-downs. It is probably the one time pass-me-downs are good. Everything from votives, baskets, to veils, and corset bras haha. But one thing said, I haven't regretted any of the money or time spent for any of the weddings or baby showers I have been to. I feel like Katherine Heigel in 27 Dresses. You enjoy doing nice things for those being honored and feel good sharing their happy moment. And when it comes time for you to have your moment. Those people who you've helped will be there for you during your happy moment.
