Natural Disasters Are AWESOME
So what did you guys do this weekend? Okay, enough about you. Lets talk about me now.
This weekend Ben and I went to a wedding. A glorious, rainy, wonderful wedding. You may remember the lovely couple from this post about how Ben is a jerk. Here is a picture of them to jog your memory. A warning? They are overly adorable.
Back to the wedding. It was positively lovely. Except there was a hurricane. That killed people. Not people at the wedding though. That would have been such a bummer.
The ceremony was a postcard. This wedding was on the picturesque Maine coastline. Gorgeous. Rocky shoreline, silver grey water, lighthouse in the distance. The ceremony ends, and the reception begins. The reception was held in a tent directly next to the ceremony site, overlooking the water. Obnoxiously perfect. Until Mother Nature showed up. That chick is such an asshole.
So the rain starts. And then there is flooding. And then the electricity in the tent goes out. And then there is more flooding.
Side Note: When I was a kid, I was petrified of flooding. The whole Noah’s Ark thing? Scared the shit out of me. Living on a giant barge with lions and snakes and possums? Worst childhood fear ever. Aside from The Pants With Nobody Inside Them. Was I the only kid that read this particuar Dr. Suess story? Because that was fucked up. There are these pants. That I’m pretty sure are green. And they’re ALIVE. And they scare the piss out of everyone in this town, but in the end it turns out that they’re like nice. Or something. I’m not sure, the moral of the story was lost on me. All I remember is the unbridled fear I felt whenever I saw green pants. I was a weird kid.
Okay, where was I? The wedding. So, it ended up being great. The flooding subsided and the lights came back on. Our friends looked so incredibly happy and in love. There was lots of dancing and great music.
And no one died. That I know of. Yeah, I’m pretty sure no one died. And on that note, here’s a photo of me on my way to the wedding. Notice how awesomely 80s my hair is? What happened there?
And since that was scary, lets end on a better note with an adorable picture of Ben bowling at the rehearsal dinner. Look how serious he is. Don’t you just want to eat him up?
That was some good weather around these parts this weekend. I tree in my yard couldn’t take it anymore and decided to call it quits in my back my yard. Out of all the months, August is the most emo.
Thank you for the warning before the picture – they ARE ridiculously adorable. And so is your dress, where’s THAT warning?
Aww they are stupidly cute couple! That shouldn’t even be allowed. Seriously.
And I’m LOVING your dress. And shoes. And 80’s hair.
How stupid do you have to be to be swept into the ocean?!
I was a bridesmaid in a wedding that took place during a Hurricane, no lie. Convinced me never to plan a wedding from the months of June-Oct.
Sidenote- loves the brides dress. I hate annoyingly cute couples.
you look pretty.
hate you. mean it.
love the dress!
ha, ben does look so very intent during his wii bowling game.
i like that about him.
i like your dress even more!
That couple is obnoxiously cute (as is your dress). And what is up with hurricanes in Maine? Trag.
booo what a bummer about the weather! but at least it improved – theyre so cute!
Like a fairytale
Love your dress, you look lovely!
Such an intent wii bowler, love it. Like when I used to play super mario with my mouth all contorted from majah concentration
that dress? adorbs. the fact that you took a picture of hubs bowling. super adorbs. chuck HATES it when i do things like that. but he’s just too cute doing things.
I kind of like the 80s hair. Not like for everyday or anything, but special occasions fo sho. I also really like the pic of Ben bowling. So, I have this weird thing where i always think I recognize people. Like I will be walking somewhere and freeze up because I think I see someone I know. Then it is never really them. It happens to me all the time, my husband gets so mad. Anyway, the point of me telling you this is that I seriously thought I went to high school with the bride. I know it’s not her, but I kind of still think it. Her name’s not Deborah, right?
You look so pretty and composed. I NEVER LOOK COMPOSED.
Check my blog biatch. FUTURE WIFEY!
never read the pants story, but i do have a natural disaster plan. i highly recommend you check some potential sites out to survive an apocalypse.
don’t know if i’ve ever mentioned this, but GODDAMN your husband cleans up nice. : )
as do you, darling. i totally dig the 80s hair! it’s rad!
and on the fears thing… i think the pants tops my escalator story. although now i might have to tell the story of how the movie harry and the hendersons gave me nightmares and i slept with my closet doors closed until i was a senior in college because of it… hmm.
there’s hurricane’s in new england?
please excuse my ignorance, i’m from ohio.
ha.
Love your dress! Glad nobody died!
You look adorable
Also, your spam protection makes me laugh because I always have to count on my fingers…
WOW, it was that hurricane Bill that i was telling the bf about, im glad no one died (at the wedding). Altho didnt someone fell in the ocean near a national park or something, that one girl died? anywho, im glad the wedding was a blast, a wonderful, awesome blast to say the least
And you look real good tho
love the dress…was that the rat’s nest you were talking about? 
That WOULD have been a bummer. Nothing can ruin a perfectly good wedding quite like some dead people. Not that I know from experience or anything…
Anyway…You look so pretty, and I am, also, a very serious and competitive Wii bowler. (I suck though.)
Ahhh! Who cares about the hair?! That dress is amazing! Loves it. Especially paired with those classy little heels. Aren’t you quite the looker! Oh yeah, and Ben, too.
My kids’ sandbox was swept away in a bout of flooding last fall. They’re still bitter. I think that flooding fears as a child are definitely character-building.
You look nice in your picture. And Ben…very intense. I don’t want to eat him up, though. No offense. Unless he tastes like bacon.
That’s definitely a bummer about the weather, but I’m glad it all worked out in the end!
And you look fab. Not sure what 80s-ness you’re referring to, exactly…
I’m not sure how to answer the ‘eat Ben up’ thing without sounding either mean or gay.
Or a mean gay.
Unless you take ‘gay’ as ‘happy’…then ‘mean gay’ is basically a non-comment.
I forgot where I was going with this.
Ahhhhhahah, love you to bits. And love your witty way with words, young lady. Weddings are cheesily fun, aren’t they. With the ridic music and all
and lol@Ben. Heh.
p.s. you look fab….soo fab.
p.p.s. less cuteness? check.
Did Ben take anyone out with those flailing bowling arms?! And love your dress!
I hate that you look good in dresses. I hope you grow a triple nipple so you dont look good anymore.
I love that “surprisingly appropriate” is one of your tags. I may have to steal that.
I am seriously jealous of all the lady-clothing clearly pictured…especially the little girl in the Ben bowling picture (I should probably not admit this but that is essentially what my prom dress was except in blue). And your friends are unnaturally cute. I’m glad their wedding didn’t end up under water.
I think you look gorgeous! What 80’s style are you talking about? And wait, isn’t the 80’s back in? So now it’s like the 2000’s are the new 80’s. Does this make any sense at all? Whatever. You look spectacular doll!
Oh and I’m glad no one died. That would have been one shitty wedding.
Jillllllll, you look SO pretty. How come I can’t pull off classy the way you do? Geesh.
“awesomely 80’s”…. *snort*
Back in the day, when I rocked the 80’s, (I am old….I know) my chemistry teacher asked the kid behind me if he could see the blackboard around my big hair. Good times.
You are stunning, btw…..
Cute dress and shoes! What’s with the “holding a bouquet” hand position, though? Oh… god… you wanted to be IN the wedding, didn’t you? Wow. Awkward.
Jill is totally like a paper doll. Look at her 365 narcissism. I totally want to cut her out and mount her on cardboard. Then I’ll cut out all of her little outfits, lay them on paper, cut around them, leaving little tabs. And then I’ll change the clothes, make her say funny little “Jill” things…wait..where was I going with this?
Oh yeah. She always stands like that in her pics. I love it.
Aw! Aren’t you a cutie-pie! But for 80’s your hair totally shoulda been bigger. Like, much bigger. Tease that hair, lady! And the couple is so cute! Sigh…………………………………….
Cute dress! It seems like everyone and their mother is getting married lately. Thank god I’m single.
girl, you are fiercely gorgeous.
serious!! i love the hair.
mother nature sucks some serious butt.
and the hubs looks adorable bowling.
wooo…You look so cute+lovely!
ps: Thanks for the well wishes darlin’
xo*
Shame about the weather – You look gorgeous!
Let’s make it lime.
I am digging the 80s hair! By chance, did you get that dress at Ann Taylor? Kinda looks like one I have. Anywho, it’s really pretty.
I’m terrified of tornadoes, ever since seeing Twister when I was 10 and the guy getting sucked out of his cellar and in to the sky. That and trains after seeing Fried Green Tomatoes.
I’m glad nobody died too. You are very pretty!
I knew it!
Great minds think alike…oh yeah…
I think you look fabulous! ….not sure what 80’s look you are talking about
The 80s are back. So you’re totally on trend!
No seriously, you look great.
OMG what an adorable couple!
And your dress looks very 80s, agree with DreamSequins!
The last picture- haha!
XO
you are the prettiest pilgrim ever!
Love your dress and the dress of the girl that got married (the green one in the first pic). Like, that’s all I could focus on, was the outfits!
