ILM to the STL

I'm continuing my globe-trotting ways and headed out of town this weekend for an autumn wedding in the Gateway City. I hope I packed my toiletries in such way that doesn't bring the TSA down on my head. I'm just looking to condition my hair, guys. Keep your tasers in check.

This wedding will make number 5 in the way of bridesmaid duty, so I guess I'm almost twice around the block on that whole 3 times a bridesmaid rule. Always the overachiever at heart. As a good bridesmaid, I plan to wear my dress as elegantly as I possibly can, try not to look fat, cry delicately (no easy task for a self-proclaimed sobber) and not trip on the way down the aisle. I have to say I'm in luck this time around with some of the most practical shoes I've ever been allowed in a wedding. Also, I'm going to try to keep my dancing in check. At my friend & co-worker Hilary's wedding, I might have overdone it and inspired her photographer to go beyond capturing me as a wedding guest into documenting me as a wild, flailing subject. Sorry, Hil.

So, in conclusion, I will behave appropriately so as not to be tackled by airport security, embarrass the happy couple or be everafter banned from the fair city of St. Louis. Y'all have a good weekend.

I'm afraid I can top your bridesmaid frequency record. I've been a bridesmaid NINE times! Don't get me wrong, by no means am I a disgruntled maid. I dare say I've enjoyed it every time. Even when it involved pink satin, poofy hair, or clear plastic "Cinderella Shoes". I'm a firm believer in the "Smile and do whatever the bride says" philosophy. After all, it's her big day!
Bravo to this bride! Practical shoes are a rarity in the world of Bridesmaids! I've actually worn the Cinderella-type Shoes in two weddings.
Best wishes to the bride!
Safe Travels Ash!
