One of my favorite parts about this summer was the many weddings we attended. We went to the wedding of two of my friends {one high school, one college}, Zan’s cousin, and then my cousin, totaling four, which seemed like a lot to us, but turns out to be pretty low compared to other people I’ve met along the way. One friend of mine went to 12 weddings one year. CAN YOU IMAGINE! How does one even have that many friends?!
All of our weddings were on the East Coast, and all were in driving distance— the farthest being Maryland, which was definitely a hike, but also pretty lucky that we didn’t have to fly anywhere. I didn’t love the constant driving, as driving is my nemesis, but I did love the celebrating. And also, of course, the dressing up. OH, YES. The dressing up!
The best part of this year’s bout of weddings was that I wasn’t in a single one. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve loved my experiences as a bridesmaid, but there is just something to say for not having to spend all that money {showers! bachelorettes!} and especially for the freedom of wearing your own dress. This year I recycled a couple of my own dresses from years past, and the one above is my most favorite of all.

Also, doesn’t Zan look handsome?
I found that tie at the thrift store in Greenwich– for $6!
AMAZING.
