A spooky celebration

Over the weekend, we headed back to St. Louis for the wedding reception of a good friend. Most people I know who have been married the last weekend in October have boldly stated that there would be no orange, no black, and definitely no dressing up.

But not this couple. At this reception, costumes were required. Even the bride and groom dressed up...as Rhett Butler and Scarlett O'Hara! (And do you like the 10-year-old bridesmaids dress I pulled out for the occasion?)

It was so much fun to be back, even for a grand total of 18 hours. What I realized more than anything after our short trip is that I don't want that much time to pass before I return!
