i think we all have a girlfriend like michele - gorgeous, smart, and super down-to-earth - the kind of girl you *want* to hate, but just can't cause she's such a sweetheart!

anyhow - michele and tim got married on saturday - and it was such a fun day to be a part of! 

I started off the day hanging with michele and her bridesmaids, which was a blast - felt like spending time with my own gal pals!

here's some pretty details:prep.jpg

some fun in the limo...(PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT----don't get a hummer limo for your wedding!  It's a proven fact that the air conditioning will not work.  seriously!).

their super-fun entrance - loved how they draped the room in red curtain - lent such a dramatic, classy, theatrical feel to their reception!

Michele is a dancing machine!!  For real - girl got down to the humpty dance - too cool!  Definitely don't hear the humpty dance at enough wedding receptions, IMHO

WHAT! In my neck of the woods AGAIN and no visit?! Awesome shosts! I LOVE the Sparty shot! Is that the Kellogg Center? The red curtain is such a cool idea and totally transformed wherever you were.
