Wedding Season is in Full Bloom

Well holy heck, friends. Here we are again! 

Do you ever feel like you need a vacation from your vacation?

No? 

Perhaps I''m just greedy...

Whatevs.

This past weekend, my cousin Taryn from Florida tied the knot! To say we went 90-to-nothin' for 4 days straight would be a lie...

From dinner, to drinks, to pool, to beach, to Hooters, to country bar, to another dinner, to the wedding and finally a casino...we were non-freakin-stop. Let's not forget about the token trip to Wal-Mart while we're at it.

My mother has 4, yes FOUR, sisters. 

I can't even imagine what life would be like with ONE clone of myself so to have FOUR of "me" sounds like a terrible idea.

What do you get when you have FIVE Italian sisters in one room for FOUR days straight?? 

UTTER CHAOS.

Oh wait, where was I?

So the minute I stepped off that plane, I looked up at the sky & had but one thing on my mind: 

Yeeaaaaa buddy!

After I got a little sun on mah buns, we headed over to my Aunt Donna's for cocktails and hors d'oeuvres. (PS-I just had to Google that word...why couldn't they just stick with "appetizers"?)

The second I walked in, I deemed myself as the paparazzi cousin. I felt the need to go ahead and throw myself out there so everyone knew what they were in for. Who doesn't appreciate 750+ photos in one weekend? (And no. I'm not kidding...)

There were 768 to be exact so I'll only bore you with a few handfuls, K?

K!

Me, Aunt Donna, Taryn (the bride) & Lauren (sister of the bride)

I somehow managed to finagle my way into seeing the dress before anyone else. That's just how I roll. It's amazing the things you can get away with when you tell everyone you're in charge of taking all the pictures...  ;)

Drop dead gawgeous!

Momma & me

That Beau...he's a real jerk. ;)

Cousins!

The next morning' we jumped out of bed and hit up Clearwater Beach.

Heaven on a bed of sand...

Rehearsal dinner was later that night so we got all cleaned up and headed to the yacht club.

Me & Aunt Mary (aka: my 2nd mother)

Bow-chicka-bow-wow

Doesn't my mom look so cute?! 
I know. She gets it from me...  ;)

The boys: Elliot & Blake

Me & the MOH


The night ended in me swiping a drink from the yacht club, Vegas Bombs @ Hooter's and doing "The Wobble" with my mom in a country bar. We're a dynamic duo, I tell ya.

And finally, the next day was the day we had all been waiting for!

Our [almost] entire family! Love them so so much!!

Mom & her man-candy, Tad. ;)

Poor guy had to put up with ALL of us for 4 days straight...

Aunt Toni, Aunt Mary, Me (duh), mom & Aunt Debbie <3

I am IN. LOVE. with this shot...

Mine & Beau's 1st dance song came on so this was our first time dancing to it since our wedding night! Not gonna lie...it was hard not to imagine myself in a long white dress again. I really love that kid!

And, well, what's a successful wedding without the most ridiculous candid photos of yours truly??

ONE wedding down.
FOUR to go!
