Shelley's Wedding in Houston

I'm not so much a fan of Texas. No offense to all my Texan friends out there....but I don't think I'll be going back anytime soon. I was in Houston for 4 days for my best friends wedding. I got stuck in the WORST traffic I have ever seen. I sat through 20 changes of a stoplight without moving once. It took me more than hour to go 4 miles. I was not happy. I don't know how anyone lives there. We were trying to get last minute wedding things done but had to plan everything around the traffic rush hours. I think I spent more time driving that doing anything else. Ok....enough of the complaining. On to the pictures. These are the before and afters of Shelley and I getting our hair and make-up done on Saturday morning. As you might notice, there are no after pictures of me. This is on purpose. Just imagine Texas prom-queen circa 1982. It was pretty bad. What about my hair says, "Please please make me poofy?" I was not a happy about it. To make things worse, the hairdresser guy burned my scalp with the freakishly hot curling iron. This smile on my face....as fake as it was because I was so EXHAUSTED...didn't last long.



Shelley's before.

Shelley had the awesomest girl doing her hair. She was totally on top of it. Of course it probably helped that Shelley brought in a picture of what she wanted her hair to look like. I, on the other hand, did not have a picture. And apparently my explanation of what I wanted was sufficient for my hair guy. Oh well. Now I know......for the future or something.

Shameless plug for Tropicana OJ? Nope.....Shelley didn't have a water bottle and improvised at the last minte.
