I have slept on and off for two days now. I am physically and mentally exhausted. This is all because I was the bridesmaid at a friends wedding.
The reason my body is so sore and tired:
- I wore shoes that made me look amazing - but they were stilettos and I could not walk in them - however, they did give my calf's a hell of a work out.
- I helped set up the venue - this included putting chair covers and bows on over 80 chairs - that was a three hour work out.
- I was up late the night before the wedding as the bridal party including the grooms men were sorting out table setting and printing them off... We did have loads of plans for a relaxing night.
- Up early the morning of the wedding to go and get makeup and hair done - this was not to stressful but the nerves energy that I had was amazing - could not sit still for longer than two minutes. I had ants in my pants...
- The wedding was wonderful and then we had the speeches. The new trend is to have the Maid of Honor do a speech as well.... lets just say the nerves energy went through the roof... But I did make it through without to many mistakes.
- There was a lot of dancing and because the bride and groom were swing dancers, that meant most of the dancing was swing.... I was exhausted but it was great fun. (I think I might have to do swing as well).
- Lastly we dropped the bride and groom at their hotel and by the time we got home it was after 1:00am. We were then all up at 8:00am so that we could meet and have breakfast.
OH I did forget then we went back to the venue and took down all the decorations including the 80 chair covers.
It was an amazing weekend but I do not think I will recover for another week. I am to old... my body is in a huff with me and it hurt in places that I did not know could hurt.
Weddings are amazing things they bring families together, strangers dance, people that have never met laugh and joke. I love a good wedding. And this one was a great one. Did I mention the 20 piece swing band. It rocked the whole place 1940's style.

Follow-up: I have had chocolate hot cross buns... I LOVE THEM.... I think I have recovered and I am back to the chocoholic that I am....
I have started a new online course on Entrepreneurship.... (that is a nightmare to spell). It is going well , I think... oh there is that wee voice in my head telling me I am not good.... oh well she does shout really loudly some times. Still no results from other course - due this week. You will be the first to know how I did....
