Two weddings after a funeral

this weekend we headed up to CR where zach and i both went to college for the wedding of two of our good friends. i met leeann in college and as coincidence would have it- she and her boyfriend caleb started dating on the same day, same year as zach and i! coming up on 8 years! leeann also ended up joining my sorority and we shared an apartment our senior year. not long after leeann and caleb got engaged her mother was diagnosed with lung cancer and has been fighting it ever since. leeann and her momma are extra close because her dad died before she was even born. leeanns mom cathy raised keeann and her older brother mark on her own. about a week ago leeanns mother was rushed to the ER at st. lukes and admitted to the ICU with a blood clot in her leg, a blood clot in her lung, and pneumonia. with everything planned and the invites sent out long ago arrangements were made by the ICU staff for the wedding to take place- in an ICU room! It was such an amazing and powerful thing to be apart of it all- and it took on so much more meaning. They set up a backdrop to hid all the hospital equipment and you could barely even tell we were in a hospital room. The ICU staff even had cake and punch for us and there were two news crews and the newspaper there! We were there at about 130 and were on the news by 6 and again at 10- we even made the front page of the life section of the paper on sunday. It was pretty neat actually- I tell Leeann that she is famous now! After the first wedding we headed back to the church for an affirmation of vows with all of the guests. The ceremony and reception were broadcast to Cathy in her ICU room via skype- which was pretty neat too because people could talk to her as if she were there. It was all pretty unbelievable- and we had so much fun! I can't believe it is already over!

Mimosas and hair at 7am!
