One of my lifelong friends got married on Saturday. She looked absolutely stunning and the event was great...we could say that I might have had a little bit too much fun! Getting there and getting home was a different story - far from fun. We left our little one with her grandparents (and she too had some serious fun breaking all the rules). The drama started when we arrived at our connection in Philly only to have an email saying our next flight was cancelled. They put us on the next flight out...4 hours later. So we ate and I finished the book that I had brought for the weekend! Thankfully we found a Borders so I was able to buy another book and get started. We did arrive in Richmond regardless of how late it was, but unfortunately our bag did not. Think about what you need for a wedding: shoes, dress, suit, toiletries - yea, all in the bag. We found a boutique and I was able to buy a new casual dress to wear out on Friday...this lost bag has now cost me $100 (book, dress, earrings)!!! Thank goodness our bag was in our room when we got back from the bar around midnight, but still...it was a costly inconvenience! My biggest issue is that the airline does nothing to compensate. I had to pay $30 to check the bag, and I feel like I should at the very least get that back. Travelling home today we had better luck with the airlines - no delays, cancellations, and our bag was waiting for us when we got off the plane. BUT how we felt was a different story and I'm the only one to blame!
While this has been mostly complaints, I would do it ALL OVER AGAIN to witness my dear friend marry her dream guy. Congratulations Maggie and Daniel...I wish you a lifetime of love, happiness, and laughter!
safely back in the cuse...cuse chick
