We have yet to receive our wedding video, but this weekend we got a letter from our videographer responding to my lawyer's letter. He said that he will have it to us by June 30th, which is in a week.
He claims that he was sick in the Spring and Fall of last year and then his editting equipment broke/needed updating. Hmm...if you can update that other website you run, why couldn't you shoot me a quick email and let me know that you're sick and your equipment is effed? Why couldn't you respond to the NUMEROUS emails I sent you? Or respond to a phone call??
I am so fed up with this that I don't even want to see the video. Really. It's going to be horrible and it's probably going to make me cry...in a bad way, not an "I'm so happy" way.
Lesson to any brides out there: get all deadlines and due dates in writing...whether you know the person or not.

Tom & Heather's Wedding
Saturday Mr. B and I went to our friends Tom and Heather's wedding in NE Philly. Heather looked so beautiful and Tom was so handsome! The mass was so cute...the priest kept making wise cracks about Tom being Italian.
The reception was held at The Fountain Room, which us up by the Franklin Mills Mall. The cocktail hour was really good and the drinks were fabulous. The reception room was gorgeous. They had a red, silver and white theme. The food was excellent and the DJ was really good. They had a surprise toward the end of the night--they had actual Mummers come and sing us a few songs. Mr. B and I had a great time...especially slow dancing to "Pour Some Sugar on Me". The entire dance floor cleared out and it was just us with our glasses on. I was crying I was laughing so hard.
Best wishes to the new couple!
My MIL, Mr. B, me and SFIL
The happy couple.
Delicious cake!
Tom's sister, Tom, and his two best men.
The DJ gave us these glasses when we requested a song. We wore them most of the night.

Pittsburgh, well not quite
This weekend Mr. B and I went to a wedding up in Pittsburgh. Originally, we were supposed to drive up with Mr. B's friends, but one thing led to another and we ended up flying to Pittsburgh instead of braving the 5+ hour drive there and back. Our flight was on Southwest and it was great. Probably one of the easiest flights I've taken in a long, long time.
We got to the hotel at about 4pm and quickly realized that our hotel was not really in the city. It was in the Boro of Green Tree, which looks pretty damn ghetto if you ask me. I was not impressed. We were hoping we could walk somewhere, but with all of the damn hills and all of the businesses we couldn't go anywhere. It was also about 20 degrees colder than Philly, which we were not prepared for. The hotel room was ok...definitely not the best hotel I've stayed in and it needed a good scrubbing if you ask me.
Mr. B's friend came and picked us up at about 6pm and we went over to see his house. It's a 2-story, 4 bed 2.5 bath with a 2 car garage and a basement. He got it a year ago for what I paid for my condo in 2006. Not fair. I just can't believe how different the market is, but having been up there for 3 days I can't imagine wanting to live there. Everything just looks so old and it seems kind of hard to get around.
We went to dinner with Brian and his wife (they got married in Hawaii in Sept) and then they took us back to the hotel. We slept in until about 9, which was amazing, and then we went out to breakfast with Mr. B's friend's that were also coming up. We went to this pancake house in the middle of nowhere. I had some very delicious pumpkin pancakes. I could go for some more right now. We got back to the hotel and decided to get a quick workout in and then go in the hot tub and pool. We got ready for the dinner and got shuttled over to the restaurant.
It was your typical Italian restaurant stuck in the 90's with all of that flowery mauve and grey styled decor. The food was ok, but our waiter was amazing. Everytime my glass was empty he was bringing me a new one. Dangerous. I have no clue how much I drank, but at the end of the night I was sucking down waters like you wouldn't believe. There was an awesome selection of music and Mr. B and I were dancing to almost every song. At one point the DJ put on some Bon Jovi and all of the 'Jersey' people were rocking out. I think we sang the entire song louder than the actual music. We were def obnoxious, but we had an amazing time so whatever!
We got back to the hotel and jus about passed out. Probably about 30 minutes after we got to our room we heard Mr. B's friends outside banging on doors. They were trashed and beligerent, but went away eventually. We got up the next morning around 9am and left for Jersey. We rode back with one of Mr. B's friends and we made it in like 5 hours...which is crazy considering we were stuck in some traffic and we stopped for 20 minutes at a rest stop. I still feel like crap, but we had a great weekend :)

Wedding Album
Mr. B and I picked up our wedding album from our photographer last night. It looks absolutely amazing! Jordan had it all sealed up in this cute little pine suitcase-looking box. It must weight at least 15lbs. The colors are beautiful and the flow of the book really tells the entire story of the day. Thank god he threw in something for all of the business we gave him and all of the money we spent on him--he printed up a nice portrait of me free of charge.
I'm so glad that we went with him, but I just wish we could get our damn pictures on a DVD so we could print what we want to print. I guess that's what happens when you don't read the fine print and don't know to ask. Oh well, what's done is done and now we have a gorgeous album and soon we'll have a DVD slideshow of our pictures--so excited for that! We picked out a few songs to put on there--they're not your typical lovey-dovey, wind-beneath-my-wings songs either, so we're interested to see how they turn out.
Seeing the album makes me so glad that I don't have to go through all of that stress again, but I'm also kind of sad because I want to enjoy the party again. Now I can live vicariously through the next couple weddings we go to and the wedding I'm in next June.
