Cruisin'

The week after Thanksgiving,

I went on a cruise.

But let's get one thing straight, people.

It was not a vacation.

Oh sure, there were fruity drinks with umbrellas.

And chocolates on my pillow every night.

And fancy dinners.

But it was not a vacation.

I can see how you might be confused. 

You see, my sister {the wedding planner} needed a trusty assistant to help out with a destination wedding. And taking a week off right before finals was a bit much to ask her intern.

So being the effing awesome little sister I am

{right, Lori?! ;)} I agreed to go.

And really, 

it wasn't that bad.

Just kidding! It was fun! A lot of work, but super fun to hang out with my big sis for a week. 

{We missed you, Car!}

The bride {and her 90+ guests!} is Indian, while her husband is Caucasian. Which resulted in 5 traditional events during the cruise. 

{the entire wedding party. Over 90 people!}

{read: an event every.single.day}

It was so out of ordinary for me, so I had tons of fun learning about Hindu tradition and just watching.

People watching is basically my greatest talent.

Seriously.

The family was so nice. So nice. And after 6 days of working with them for hours each day at every event, we got to know them pretty well.

It was a long but fun trip,

and after all of it I remembered why I'm in the business of social work and not wedding planning.

Its so not my thing.

And now...picture overload.

Happy Friday friends!!!
