bee goes a-weddinging


last saturday evening i drove myself aaall over downtown nashville, trying oh so hard to overcome my navigationally ridiculous self and all the road blocks i kept hitting (no thanks at all to the gps lady on my phone or the vandy football game going on... oh, football, the baaane, the bane!) to get to the wedding of a sweet and precious little lady i grew up knowing and her one true love. by the time i finally rolled up to the valet boys, struggling like the hot mess i just love love to come off as (waa!), i'd pretty well come to terms with the fact that i had to be missing the ceremony at that point... but but! oh wait! one textual exchange with my mom later, and no! i hadn't missed it yet!! yaaay! so i raced on in, as fast as the shuttle, my high heels, and an elevator could take me... and even though this now puts me at the second time in a row that i strolled into a wedding ceremony just barely ahead of the (beautiful!) bridesmaids, i am so so so glad i got to celebrate the whole entire night because, gracious, i'm a sucker for the prettiest weddings on the most perfect evenings in a city as wonderful as ours!



it was really the sweetest evening. the bride was stunning in her dress, the sky was warm and colorful! and even though we've been to many a wedding at this point, this one reminded me so much that i've always really and truly loved a good matrimony. and i didn't have my big camera with me, but when i scrolled through my iphone shots later on, all snuggled in bed, i realized that i'd still ended up with a whole bunch photos that just made me so so so happy to look at. between the beautiful event, the fabulous company, and the riverfront view (one of my favorite views of nashville!), it was lovely.
and hey, even though it's pretty much impossible to tear me away from my baby lady (and her daddy! i missed my dance partner!) about 99.98765% of the time, on this evening she was off having a blast with daddy and grandparents, which gave me a chance to get out and be brittany brittany juuuuust brittany in my dress with my sibs and parents and my own uninterrupted thoughts and feelings, and that was fun, too. i mean, i got to sit down by my sister and just solidly talk her face off, which kind of never happens! so, yes, maybe it's true that i still cry every time i drive away from my babes... but gotta let mama cut loose every 2 years or so, okay? OKAY! okaaay.
so! before my coach turned back into a pumpkin for the evening, you better believe this girl dragged her fam sta-raight to theeee...

...photobooth!! aaand, my night was complete. congratulations, again, nia and renato, officially mrs. and mr! we love you guys! see you on the hill! :)
