Sig Kap Wedding

Well another friend has gone and taken the plunge and gotten married. It was a weekend adventure that was held in Normal Illinois and ended in awesome. Friday night I worked at the Rockin on the River Ribfest and left to go straight to Normal to meet the girls and get a start on sleeping and getting ready early. I left around 11:30pm and drove through the creepiest roads at night possible. A huge storm had passed by and lightning was still going crazy. At one point I looked out to my left and saw red lights flashing in and out like it was on a timer and I thought aliens are attacking and I will die on route 55. The roads were uneven and all constructiony and wow I did not know if I was going to make it at this point. I arrived in the town of Normal a couple minutes before GPS said I would (yea take that technology) but got lost driving around trying to find the hotel. Now the funny part is all it took was one right turn but I missed it and had to drive around this town for awhile trying to regain my GPS setting. I finally got to the hotel and the girls I was sharing the rooms with were fast asleep.

I crawled into bed with Face Plant (name will make sense later) and felt like by the time I finally rested it was time to get up. The other 2 ladies with us in the room were up and chatting while Face Plant and myself wanted to continue sleeping. We were all keyed up though to see the wedding begin and found some of the other girls and to go grab breakfast with. We had a guy in the elevator with us and we were discussing the menu and he said it was the weirdest menu he had ever seen at a hotel, we asked what was on it and he said hummus and lobster burgers and something else, now first of all he was wearing a Cubs hat and second he was definitely from the South and apparently thought hummus was a weird food. So we went to the restaurant and found a delicious buffet and didn't find anything weird with it. I was so tired still and after breakfast Paparazzi and Shorty went to go get money and champagne so that we could drink and get ready. Well sleeping didn't happen so we started getting ready and began putting the weaves in. After dressing and only being 15 minutes later (that is really good for us) we headed to the ceremony. Apparently my dress was to risque for a church so my friends let me borrow a cardigan to get into the church. Now I understand you aren't suppose to look crazy slutty but it was a wedding and I was covered in all the right places. So we arrive and the ceremony begins. I am not a crier at weddings but apparently my friends are. We see one of our other sisters descend down the aisle and the girls start to lose it.

After the bridesmaids and groomsmen walk down Jenna starts her walk. I am not kidding when I say she takes your breath away. The girl looked perfect and there was no way to improve her. The ceremony was the perfect amount of time and you could tell Jenna and John were so happy to be together. After the ceremony we went back to the hotel where they did the pictures and we rested for a bit. Us girls got together and Rockstar brought her baby for us to see, that little guy is just too adorable for words. We head down to the ballroom for the reception and begin drinking. Our 2 tables filled with friends are right next to the bar (coincidence, I think not?) and we definitely take advantage of the closeness. Everyone is catching up and so happy to be brought together again that it feels like we all haven't lost years between each other.

We sign our card and put it on the table with all the cash in it. We will come to find out a couple days later that someone has stolen our present off the table and the hotel will not do anything about it. We are still working on solving this problem. Anyway back to the reception. Drinks are flowing and the dinner was amazing. We are all out on the dance floor and loving the music and dancing up a storm. At one point Face Plant is walking across the floor and slips in a wet spot and literally face plants into the dance floor. At this point we are lucky that the "adults" have all retired to their rooms. She lays there for a minute and gets up. We all laugh at this absurdity because what would an event be without someone falling on the ground? The reception starts to end and we decide to go to the bars. We find the bride and groom want to go celebrate their marriage...alone. So we head to the hotel room to put on flip flops and get money. Well I thought we had all grabbed room keys but apparently that was not the case. I grabbed a key for the wrong room and Paparazzi and Face Plant didn't have a key at all. The only other one who had a key was Shorty but she was downstairs and we couldn't get a hold of her. So Face Plant lays down in front of the door, face down, and Paparazzi lays down next to her. I am now taking pictures to document this moment, we are trying to call Shorty to explain the situation and FP's dress gets lifted by Paparazzi and I go and smack her ass because why not.

She then slaps me back really hard and gets up and we start running down the halls slapping each other. We tackle into each other and continue to sit there and laugh. Her man hands have left marks all over my body and my skin is stinging with this ridiculousness. Finally Shorty comes up and lets us into the room. We find the right keys and change quickly. We head to the bars which are right next to the hotel and find them pretty deserted except for the bride's aunt and sister and some uncles. We sit down and have a chat with her family members. Her sister tells us that everyone thinks we are snobby at the wedding, I find this amusing considering we are not snobby at all and all anyone needed to do was talk to us. So we have some drinks and decide we are hungry again and go get some nasty calzones. While walking back to the hotel we realize we have lost people and are not sure where anyone is, we are drunk enough to think they are fine though. So we get to the room and FP is passed out on her back mouth open spread out on our bed. Paparazzi and I sit on the ground to eat our food and laugh about the night. I don't know how she and I always end up sitting together eating after drinking but I love it. I take my weave out and climb into bed. I try to push FP over and she does not budge, I resign myself to sleeping on the corner of the bed and it works.

We wake up in the morning again to the other 2 girls talking and I continue to sleep for another half hour. We start discussing the night and what happened and decide we need to get out of there asap. So we pack up double check the room say our good byes and leave. It was a sad ending to say good bye to each other. I know most of us live near each other but for the ones that don't it's always sad to say goodbye. So it was a great weekend and I know I have left a lot out of here but it's probably cause I don't remember a lot, so any comments from people at the wedding are much appreciated!
