Hi all!
Back from the wedding weekend in Galena, IL(3hr drive from me).
Step-neice's wedding went well. My kids stayed at my parent's house over the weekend, so they didn't go to the wedding. It was nice to have alone time with my DH, as we hardly have date nights.
The drive to Galena was somewhat scary on Friday night, as there are no street lights and it was pitch dark for the second half of the drive, and driving thru many hills, as it is hilly and very curvy in the upper northwest end of Illinois. DH did do very well on the driving, as I was freaking out
Sat. was real nice. Beautiful view from the restaurant windows of the hills and the Mississippi River.
The wedding reception last night was at the lodge we were staying at. The ceremony was a 45 min drive from the reception. So the bride and groom paid for a bus to transport some of us from the lodge to the little white wedding chapel they were getting married at. The bus ended up being a school bus, not a trolley like we thought
. But that's ok, it worked out well.
The wedding reception at the lodge went fairly well. Wedding dinner was very good and tasty! The music (DJ) was ok. It was very loud of course, during the dancing. The only bad thing I would say, was the choice of songs during the dancing/ party time of the reception. Hardly any slow songs to slow dance to, maybe one slow dance song. The rest of the songs were rap/ hip hop, almost gangster rap songs(to me at least) or heavy metal rock songs.
That was basically it for song selection
Ok, the Cha Cha Slide song was really the only one that was decent, as DH and I danced to that one. The bride likes to party with her girlfriends, so I guess her and her groom must have picked these certain drinking party songs for their friends. Lots of college-aged folks drinking on the dance floor
Not a good mix of songs for all ages, just catered to the college-age crowd.
One song that was played was kinda vulger to DH, I, and SIL. Alot of b**ch and f*** in the song, and there were little kids on the dance floor dancing to this
Anyways, got to still unpack my stuff, as I am lazy here.
I guess I missed some action that happened with Bubba's mom
Barb, I'm guessing you either went to a WWE wrestling event last night or went to a strip club? Those are just my guesses
You had mentioned it was "adult oriented".
Happy Birthday, Tracie!!!
Hope you had a great birthday!!
Hi to all!
I'll have to catch up with everyone later.
