I am back for good ladies! I think I am finally caught up on sleep from this past weekend - my best friend monica's wedding was an absolute BLAST! I literally have hundreds of pictures to share but thought I would start with Instagram pictures - we haven't gotten the professional ones just quite yet but I will definitely share once I see them :)
I know I have been talking about the wedding nonstop but my best friend Monica married her college sweetheart Ben after 8 years together this past weekend. Her family is from India so the wedding was literally 5 days long. It was the most amazing and beautiful weekend of my life - I am so blessed to have the friends and family I do. I love you Mon and Ben! :)

my henna for the wedding - Monica's mom hired professional henna artists at the event called the "mendhi" which was held on Thursday.

Thursday Night, we had the 56th (exaggeration but not really) bachelorette party with the girls! SO MUCH FUN! I really love DC. #YOLO (hate me)
Friday was the traditional Indian ceremony and a reception thrown by Mon's dad - it was so beautiful and we had an amazing time dancing! All the bridesmaids wore blue dresses
