I went to my older "sister's" wedding on Saturday and it was so much fun! A little back story before I get to all the fun nitty gritty details of the wedding.
My dad and stepmom were married when I was nine, but dated for a year and a half or so before that, and Katie was one of our babysitters, she had babysat Mady since she was a baby and when Matt and I were there she'd babysit us as well and then when Ryan came along, she babysat him as well. I used to give her so much grief, I will definitely admit to being a spoiled brat. We got really close after she graduated from high school and moved away to college, she was basically like an older sister, one that I never had biologically. We would talk nightly on Facebook, she helped me go through the growing pains of being a teenager and navigating high school.
The summer before my junior year, Katie started dating Dan and as the saying goes, "the rest is history!"

& then one night I was perusing facebook in April of 2009, more than likely sending flair to Mady & Lynn, when Katie's message box popped up with a single question, "can you keep a secret?" "Yep, what's up?" or something along those lines were what I typed. "I'm going to have a baby!!" I probably started screaming and jumping up and down, because I'm Meghan and I don't do subtle or calm.

On Saturday we got to celebrate Katie+Dan's love & marriage. Lynn picked me up around 11:30 on Friday night on her way home from driving limo & Saturday started with a trip to Target with my Grandma and Mady where I found a dress and a statement necklace that I would never have thought to buy. I love spending time with these two. My grandma is one of those people you can't help but learn something new from and look up to & Mady is one of my best friends. I somehow spent over $100 and I'm not exactly sure how. Now it's time for a picture dump of the day!

Funniest moment? When Lynn's dress tore, because she didn't sit down correctly. Must say I gave my stepmomma lots of grief for that!
& I can't post today and not mention Karen's birthday, a huge happy birthday to my work momma!!
