so, the main reason i am in huntsville was for my best friend's wedding (julia roberts, not included)...

all week it's been raining on and off... despite reports, we hoped that it wouldn't rain on the wedding day, saturday. it was bright and sunny (and annoyingly hot) when i arrived at the church at 230, and it started to drizzle a bit later off and on.

the ceremony took place, we finished taking pictures and most of the bridal party headed to the reception down the street. as soon as we (myself and another bridesmaid) hit the front porch of the reception location, the bottom fell out.

and... the remainder of the outdoor reception was spent in the mud. the ladies took off their shoes, held up their skirts a bit and we all had a great time! definitely a memorable reception. and, the bride didn't care one bit.
