here's a lesson I have to keep relearning throughout my life: sometimes saving a few dollars on your plane fare isn't worth killing yourself. Case in point: This weekend, Chris and I travelled to memphis to see my lovely friends Joy and Minsu get married. When it came to finding a flight, however, I decided the cost of the flight was priority numero uno. As a result, we both wanted to die the entire time.
Here was our schedule:
Saturday
2:15 a.m.: catch a cab to union station
3:15 a.m.: catch a train to BWI airport
5:30 a.m.: catch a plane to Charlotte, NC for a 2 hour layover.
9:30 a.m.: catch a second plane to Memphis, TN
10:30 a.m.: arrive in Memphis, get a rental car and drive to Corky's for a quick, AMAZING lunch.
12:30 p.m.: get to chapel so Jeannie could practice the song she will sing during the wedding ceremony
2:00 p.m.: check in at hotel and sleep for 2 hours
4:00 p.m.: get up and get ready for the wedding
5:15 p.m.: arrive at chapel to do one last sound check
6:30 p.m.: watch the most BEAUTIFUL BRIDE EVER get married.
7:30-10:30 p.m.: celebrate the wonderful couple with delicious food and merriment.
11:00 p.m.: sleep in a semi-comatose state.
OK, i'll spare you the details of Sunday which required a lot more travel. basically we were in motion almost all weekend and it was exhausting and i've learned my lesson. Pay more. travel comfortably. Enjoy your life. Some costs are worth coughing up.
But seriously, the weekend was totally awesome and WORTH IT because Joy and Minsu's wedding was beautiful. Here's a big photo dump.
