The BIG Event-- Baltimore, Part 3

The day of the wedding was, of course, super busy. Daddy watched Carver while all of us girls went to hair appointments. (It will bother me until the day I die that I had crazy prom hair for Courtney's wedding. I've been a bridesmaid at least a dozen times. Usually I do my own hair and I always regret it. So, this time I had my hair done by a professional. Big regret. Sigh. Nothing to do now but cringe every time I see one of Court's wedding pictures.)

Prom hair...and it looked less flattering from the front. This was also at about 10:00 a.m. By 6:00 p.m. for the wedding it was an utter disaster. Boo.

Courtney's hair!



Holly's looong hair.

Julia's hair



After the hair appointment (fiasco) we raced back to the hotel to get dressed for the bridesmaid's luncheon. The luncheon was at Victoria Gastro Pub and it was fabulous.

The private room.

The fabulous appetizer.

Sara, Courtney, Cathy, and Ginger

Carver girls (minus Mama who is way too picky about pics of her)


I still have vivid daydreams about the goat cheese/mustard/crackers appetizer. And, bridesmaid's luncheons mean presents for the bridal party! Only my sister would give her bridesmaids a Coach wristlet as a gift. Love it, love her.


We left the Gastro Pub to rush back to the hotel to get dressed in our wedding finery for the BIG EVENT. Which will be covered in the next post :)

  1. Your hair looked fine...after we made her take it down a few inches. I tried to help! Mine was no better...at least I had a veil though. :) I'm just glad that was one less stress I had to take care of myself (if I had done my own.) I DO wish I had been able to touch up the curls better pre-pictures. And the make up.

    That WAS a great restaurant and great food. We should go back sometime.

  2. I really think that your hair looks good. I can see how it wasn't necessarily something you would have chosen, but you looked beautiful. (As did the rest of the Carver women :-) )

    And can I go on the record and shout out that I'm uber jealous of the coach wristlets. Man Oh Man!!!!
