Crazy Wedding Weekend!
Well! We made it back to Rochester in 1 piece after the crazy wedding weekend! :-) It was really a great time. Seymen and I were supposed to leave around 3 or 4PM on friday. We both got out of work early so we could pack, run our last minute errands and then head out...But as it turned out, we decided to wait for Kris and Dan...so we ended up not leaving until 8:40PM. We took two cars, so I rode up with Kris while Seymen and Dan rode together in Seymen's car. We finally arrived in Saratoga at like 11:30 or 12ish. Everyone else had arrived and already made their way down to the bars. Kris and I had decided that we were going to stay for 15-30 minutes...tops...We were both really tired and just wanted to rest up for the wedding the next day.
Well...as it turned out...we stayed 15-30 minutes...and then some! We didn't get back to the hotel until 5:30 AM!!! OMG!!! It was crazy fun! Everyone was sooooooooooo happy to be together again. Everyone was happy drunk too! (There was NOOOO drama!!) and we were all just talking, and laughing, and hugging, and drinking...and drinking ;-) I almost died. I had 5 apple-tinis, 1 lemon drop shot, and 1.5 glasses of champagne. The bars in saratoga are open until 4AM!!! So we closed that bar down and headed to a restuarant (where I passed out on the steps...but was revived with french fries!). (See the pictures...you can live vicariously through them to get the full effect of the craziness).
Saturday was a rough morning. Scott and Adam bunked in the room with Seymen and I. They slept together on a loveseat pullout couch. It was pretty scarey waking up to see Scott and Adam spooning ;-) hehehehe. JK JK...Anyway, Kris and I dragged ourselves out of bed and planned a surprise brunch for Seymen at 1:00PM. We went to this pretty fancy restuarant (Wheatfields) and celebrated Seymen's birthday with all of his friends!!! :-) We even found the cutest candles --little trucks and backhoes! After lunch we all went back to our rooms for naps before the wedding...
After a late start, we finally got the entire group dressed and to the Wedding location. Thank goodness Nate planned ahead for our entire group and signed us all up for the free limo service. The wedding was really beautiful! Nate and Liz look awesome and so happy. It was a really cute location and of course we were surrounded by our college friends, so what could be better? :-) I didn't last too long that night. Seymen was considering going out to the bars after the wedding, but we headed back a little earlier (with Nick and Janice...they were still jetlagged from their flight from Hong Kong, and they needed to leave at 8:30AM the next day)...I went to bed, and Seymen sat up watching TV...Unfortunately, he didn't end up going anywhere. I woke up at 5AM to find him sitting straight up on the bed sleeping with his glasses on, the lights on and the TV on :-)
By Sunday, the crazyness of the weekend was waring on me. We woke up really really late, and thanks to the time change didn't check out of the room until 2PM! Our friends were kind enough to wait for us, and we all went out for food. Afterwards, we headed to the Saratoga Antique Car Museum. (WAHOOO! *sarcastic wahooo*) But it actually turned out to be one of the coolest musuems I've been to in a while! They had a Model-T car there!!! The Tin Lizzy!! And of course a number of Jags, Aston Martins, Mustangs...etc. Seymen and all the guys (and surprisingly Kris) were all in awe and in love with the cars :-) It was really cool though...I saw the car that worked on land and water. Supposedly, that car is own by a Whitney.
After that, we headed back to the downtown main street (broadway)...and went shopping, drank some coffee, and finally headed back to the hotel where our friends had a suite for the night. We hung out...I watched TV and stuffed my face with junk food, while Seymen watched a game of beer pong. We ended up not leaving until 9:20!!! So we didn't arrive back in Rochester until WAYYYYYYY late! Today I was so tired!!! But it was an excellent weekend...that led to a surprisingly really good day at work! :-)
