Katie and Derf's Wedding

This past weekend, Ryan and I travelled to Warwick, Rhode Island for the wedding of one of Ryan's high school and college friends.  His friend's actual name is Kris, but he is "Derf" to me, because that's what everyone calls him.

The ceremony was at Barnabas Episcopal Church in Warwick, RI, and the ceremony as at the Quidnessett Country Club. I love their colors: navy and yellow, because it reminded me of our wedding! 

Normally, I am known to take hundreds of pictures at our friends weddings, but not this time.  I'm only 29 weeks along, but I was extremely tired by the time the reception rolled around. Once we took our seats at Table 21, I didn't really budge at all, except to use the restroom! I was also really hungry waiting for dinner, so my husband was kind enough to keep filling me up with mini quesadillas, stuffed mushrooms, cheese and crackers! Our friends at our table also shared their favors with me and I ate 2 of them during dinner--really yummy ginger/molasses cookies from a place called Ginger Betty's in Quincy, MA.  I actually just ate 2 more while writing this!  I'm looking forward to eating healthier this coming week!

We ended up leaving a little early, something that we've never done at any wedding. I could barely keep my eyes open by 10pm.  That's 2 hours past my bed time, and even though I tried to sleep later than usual on Saturday, it didn't help.  We sat with a group of friends at the wedding, and it was alot of fun.  I was disappointed that I didn't have it in me to dance or take a bunch of pictures. 

Here's a few pictures from the day:

Town Place Suites by Marriot, located in the Quonset Business Park
(A really nice room with the most uncomfortable bed I've ever slept in!)



After driving 1 1/2 hours home, we stopped by to kiss our dogs and then headed out for a quick run of errands.  Then we came home and groomed Logan (our long haired doxie). Too bad we aren't on our way to a tropical place like Katie and Derf.  I can't wait to see their honeymoon pictures!!
