DiAngelis-Quie Wedding

What a quick trip to Cincinnati that was! We fit a lot in – including brunch with the bff’s and a quickie hair cut for Ross – given the fact we were there for less than 48 hours.

The main reason we were there this time, though, was to attend the wedding of our dear friend, Jen DiAngelis (now Quie)! Jen is the epitome of elegance and sophistication. So, it was no surprise at all that the wedding was just as beautifully done.

Some friends from IU stopped at the Olsen household for a quick dress change before we headed to Cincinnati along with the Balls. We don’t have too many opportunities to dress up, so it was fun to do my hair (with my mom’s help) and feel prettier than I do in stretchy gaucho’s and a tank top (which has been my go-to summer attire). Thank goodness I happened to have a dress that could accommodate a growing baby bump!

I had the pleasure of assisting Jen and Christian with everything paper for their wedding. It was so much fun designing everything from the invitations to poster-sized seating chart to a unique photo guest book (my favorite piece!). One of these days I’ll start that business of mine officially!

Even though it flew by, we had a great weekend. It ended especially well with my favorite meal prepared by my mama – beef burgundy. Or as they refer to it in Julie & Julia, “Boeuf Bourguignonne.” So so so delicious. Had leftovers tonight.
