Atlanta Wedding Weekend

Saturday morning my parents and I were on our way to Atlanta for Marty and Laura's big day. Britt couldn't get off of work to go, so it was me all by my lonesome. I left Ashlyn with Britt's mom because I didn't know how well she would handle a 4 hour ride down there plus sitting through the wedding and reception without any tantrums. That would have been asking a little too much from a 2 year old.
The wedding was beautiful! It was held at the largest Presbyterian Church in the United States. This church has over 10,000 members. It was HUGE to say the least. After the wedding it was off to Buckhead Country Club for the reception. This place reminded me of Rockbarn, but bigger and much nicer. There was an open bar with all the beer, wine, and liquor that you could drink. Needless to say we were all feeling pretty good by the end of the reception. The food was spectacular........lamb chops, duck quesadillas, steamed veggies, tenderloin, shrimp and grits, crab cakes, sugar cured bacon, fruit, cheese.......I could go on and on. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it. Also they had a live band. The reception was awesome. I think that it was the nicest wedding and reception that I have ever attended.
Once the reception ended my mom drove Matt, Kellie, and me back to the hotel. We changed clothes and then headed out to a bar for what was about to be a very interesting night. Ryan, Heath and his fiance Megan went out with us too along with a few others. The bar was packed! We were all feeling really good at this point in the night. For some reason I got mad at Heath and threw some beads across the table at him.....it was Heath, so I'm sure that he did something to piss me off. Then he got really pissed and poured a drink on me. I was EXTREMELY PISSED now! I was yelling at him and calling him all kinds of names. His poor fiance! She was already pissed off at him before we even went out, and by the end of the night she was livid. Right before we left he finally apologized. I accepted his apology and told him that I forgave him, but that he should no better than to pour a drink on a female. Come on now!?!?!
Once we got back to the hotel I called Britt to tell him all about our adventurous evening. While sitting in the lobby talking to him I hear a loud commotion. I ran into the waiting area for the elevatiors to find Matt and Heath swinging at one another. Matt's shirt was ripped open and Ryan was holding Heath back. There was blood all over both of them. I'm still not really sure what happened. It was the funniest thing that I have seen in a long time. Neither one of them were hurt too bad. They both had a busted nose and a few bumps and bruises. That was definitely the highlight of the night. =) I am very tempted to call the hotel up and see if they have the surveillance video of the two of them duking it out. I would pay good money to own that video.
On the way home Mom and I stopped at the outlet stores in Gaffney and did some shopping. I found Ashlyn the cutest outfits. I haven't been there in a really long time, but I'm going to definitely start going more often. They had some really good buys.
It was a fabulous weekend. I'm struggling a bit today from the lack of sleep, but all in all it was very interesting.
