Mrs. Cuyler Meade

Yesterday, Sarah Ann Morin became Sarah Ann Meade! It was a BEAUTIFUL day. Lots of fun. Sarah was a gorgeous bride and I felt so honored to be one of her bridesmaids. I drove into San Jose Thursday afternoon where I met up with Sarah, Cuyler, and two of his groomsmen John and Corey. We went to the reception site and started getting everything ready for the next day. We wrapped lots of silverware, set up lots of tables, framed lots of pictues, and made many centerpieces. Cuyler's parents threw a big dinner at his house fo all the family and wedding party. I got to meet lots of people and eat a bunch of chinese food. :) It was a late night, but we had a great time together. I stayed at a family's house that Cuyler knew with John and Corey. I got up super early so I could have the bathroom to myself before the boys got up and try to make my hair look decent. I tried so many different styles, nothing was working! I finally just pulled it into a low side messy bun (which ended up being how ALL the bridesmaids wore their hair, but we did not plan it! haha). I had a little bit of a problem with my flower falling off of my headband. I had to quickly find some super glue and glue it back on!
We all got ready and drove up to Oakland for the wedding! I hung out in the visitors center and watched all the babies for the siblings in the sealing. We waited, and waited, and waited, and FINALLY they came out of the temple!
They looked so happy and perfect together. We then took a whole lot of pictures! About 2 hours worth! haha It was pretty hot, we all got a little sunburnt, and us girls feet were killing us in our heels :) Those pictures will come later. We were finally able to leave so me, 3 of the groomsmen and one of their wives drove back to San Jose together. We got caught in a whole lot of traffic (dang Califoria!) We stopped at a mall to eat in the food court on the way since we hadnt eaten all day. Once we got into San Jose we got a little lost, couldn't find the reception site, were yelling and arguing with each other (don't worry, we are really good friends now :), and finally had to call Cuyler to come get us and take us to the place. Don't worry, him and Sarah were running late as well.
The reception was BEAUTIFUL and PERFECT. They had yummy food, lots of people, gorgeous view, and lots of fun dancing! Cuyler played the guitar and sang for Sarah, 2 little kids caught the bouquet and garter, we decorated their car real cute, and got them two out of there at a decent hour! It was a bitter sweet moment watching them drive away, but I am so happy for them. Cuyler is so good to Sarah, and they are just perfect together. CONGRATULATIONS SARAH AND CUYLER! :)
