~Elizabeth's Fairytale Wedding~

This past Saturday, May 16th, my older sister Elizabeth finally got her wedding ceremony. She and her husband got married last year, but only now had the financial means to have a ceremony. As you can see from the pictures, it was absolutely beautiful!! It took place at a church hidden away somewhere in Fayettville, Arkansas called St. Catherine's at Bell Gable. It looks like a church out of Ireland or something.

Of course, to get there I had to sit in a car with my two brothers, who have made an art out of complaining. They literally said nothing but negative comments the ENTIRE 8 hours we were in the car together.

Anyway, when we finally got to the hotel, my little sister, Stephanie, would not get off the phone with her boyfriend. I understand that she is 16 and loves her boyfriend, that's wonderful. BUT, I kinda like to sleep. She finally went to bed around 3am, graciously allowing me to sleep, until her wonderful little phone alarm goes off in the morning. Waking only me. She didn't wake up to her own alarm. Just slept right through it. Twice. So I took advantage of this opportunity to take the battery out of her phone. That's what you get for keeping me awake and giving me a headache on my sister's wedding day. Punk.

The rest of the trip was spent eating. Eating eating and more eating. We ate before we got our hair done, while we were getting our hair done (Thank you Pink Papaya), and after the wedding ceremony at the reception. It was all very yummy, but my dress was already so tight, I couldn't even drink alcohol! hahaha Then on Sunday, my grandparents (Arnold grandparents) treated us to lunch at the Golden Corral, which was also ~ AMAZING~! So yummy and we all got so full! You can see the picture of the dessert plate my little brother Jonathan fixed for himself. In his defense, he only ate about half of it.

I also got to play with my little niece, Isabella, who is about 1 1/2 yrs old and loves blankets. I wish I could post the video of her and my brother Jonathan playing with a blanket: he holds it up, and she raises her hands and runs into it, and Jonathan throws the rest of the blanket around her - It's pretty adorable.

So this week I've been eating a lot as well due to the southern-food cravings that I developed over the weekend eating all the southern food in Arkansas. My roommates and I finally finished off all the cake I brought home, which was a LOT of cake (3 different kinds).
