Here's a rundown of my trip:
I flew out of Wemindji on Wednesday afternoon after working most of the day at 2:45 heading for Montreal. My plane made the usual 4 stops in other communities before landing in Montreal. In Montreal I connected at 9:30 for Toronto, landing at around 10:30. Such a long day!!
The next morning I had a dress fitting and then I did a little shopping with an old friend, Clair. That night was the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner which was really great! The church was at Bloor and Islington, a beautiful old Catholic Church.

Friday morning Clair, a fellow bridesmaid, Katherine and I had manicures and pedicures and then Clair and I went to help with some set up at the venue. Then I went for my final fitting and stopped at the post office to ship my purchases since I was flying and had little room in my suitcases, proofread Mummy's paper and headed out for dinner with the family. We went to a fantastic Indian restaurant in Downtown Oakville, Coriander on the Green. I highly recommend it! After that I was pooped and headed to bed early to get my beauty rest for the wedding the next day (I managed to sleep in....classy).
So on Saturday after I RAN out of bed, I was over at the bride's mothers house at 7:30 for hair and makeup! She had arranged for two lovely and very talented ladies to come to the house and do our hair and makeup there. It was a great morning, very relaxing and low key and we all looked gorgeous! The photographers arrived and took lots of great pictures and we had a blast. The wedding was at 1 so the limo picked us up and we were off to the church! The ceremony was beautiful and it was such a gorgeous church, it couldn't have gone off better! I was nervous and worried I would mess up my MOH duties in the church but it mostly went off without a hitch.
After the ceremony the bridal party went to Bradley House just off Southdown Road in Mississauga and spent a couple hours with the photographers. It was COLD and we were freezing but the pictures turned out well so personal comfort was a small sacrifice!
Then we headed off to the hall back in Oakville and partied the night away!!! I didn't get home until almost 2 but I had a fantastic time and it was great to see so many friends and celebrate with everyone. My speech went well, the microphone had a lot of feedback sadly but I only made a few mistakes hah! I was very nervous.
Anyways then Sunday morning I was up at 7 and out of the house at 8 to catch my plane at 11! I flew to Montreal and my layover was allllll day so I got to my hotel room around 1, watched tv and had a nap, ate a last supper of delivery sushi and went to sleep at 8 because I had to be up Monday morning at 4! Monday morning I took the shuttle to the airport to catch my flight at 7am back to Wemindji. I arrived in town at 1 and went right to work! What a day!!! So I am still sort of recovering from my trip and getting right back into work!!
Luckily we were blessed by the PED gods and gifted a 3 day week with 2 PED days and LOTS of time in the classroom which is a blessing because report cards are due next week and I have A LOT of marking to do.
I am looking forward to this weekend because we have a long weekend up here on Monday so my girlfriends and I are driving down to Rouyn (the closest major town which is 9 hours away) to have a girls weekend!! But before that happens I have to start and finish report cards and plan for next week!! Life may be quiet up here but it definitely isn't slow!!
