Wedding Reception, Flat Tire and Catching the Bouquet

Tonight we drove out to Temecula to attend Judy's daughter's wedding reception. We probably would not have taken any pictures or even blogged about it, but we had some random excitement.

The first of our exciting events was having our tire blow out while driving 75 mph on I-15. Kelly was driving and got us over to the shoulder quickly. The tire was smoking.


We were fortunate that it was not raining, and that we had room enough on the wide shoulder to change the tire safely. After a prayer and a quick stop at the gas station to make sure all remaining tires had air, we made it to the reception.

The reception was beautiful and so was the bride. I told Heather she could go out with the "single ladies" on the dance floor for the bouquet toss, and this is where exciting event number two took place. She was in the back and couldn't see, so she moved to the front. The bouquet was tossed and as she and another gal reached for it, they knocked it to the ground with their fingers. Heather being her spry, speedy self, bent down quickly to pick it up. Later she asked us what it meant to catch the bouquet. She wasn't happy with the answer. Ha, ha.


We're all home safe and sound, and reconfiguring the budget to fit in purchasing new tires.

What adventures you have. Hopefully Heather will wait a while before tying the knot.

Okay, such a bummer about the tire. And then having to change the tire while in your dress clothes is even more of a bummer. Way to go, Kelly.

Also, way to go, Heather in catching the bouquet! :)
