Wedding blues

Last Saturday was our first Wedding, complete with giant cupcake wedding cake and hundreds of cupcakes.
I decided since it was our first wedding, I would drive up to the venue site and set everything up the day of.
The day before the wedding, everything that could have POSSIBLY went wrong did. I couldn't find any info about where the wedding was to be, no vendor info, no info on the bride or groom. Nothing. I was pretty sure they might be a part of the witness protection program since anything to do with their wedding led to a big dead end and even bigger question mark.
I started to email the sister of the Bride and contemplated emailing other people I thought might be attending, I just thought it might be creepy. I posted things on both their fb pages pleading with their friends and family to get them in contact with me.
When I finally. FINALLY. Found their invite, I felt like a giant idiot. I was certain that the elves I have working in the shop hid it just to screw with me...
So I get everything ready for the following day. I pack up the car in the am and head outta town. I cannot tell you how much I love LOVE *LOVE* Asheville. It is beautiful, it's full of art and hippies and amazing food.
When I arrived on the college campus the event was taking place, it dawned on me that no one had communicated with me where the catering kitchen was. I drove around for a good hour, found the Bride thanks to two of her friends, then drove around some more because I am terrible at LISTENING to directions. Draw me a map, I will be there an hour ahead of time.. Tell me where to go... I will be at least 4 hours late.
I made all the frostings at the site and the disaster I was seriously anticipating went off without a hitch. Someone was smiling down on me that day, for sure!
Well... After all was said and done the wedding was beautiful. The guests loved my cupcakes and everything was great!
