I feel terrible...

Have you ever done one of those things in your life that all you can say is "I can't believe that just happened"?  Well I had one of those moments last week.  Here it goes...

My inlaws were in the city and offered to look after our little guy so we could have a date night - awesome right?  So...I surprised my husband and took him to this locally owned gourmet burger diner - it was fabulous - and my husband adores burgers - so it was the perfect place.  We then walked a few blocks to a famous (in this city anyways) dessert location - had the best cheesecake ever - again - another of my husbands favorites.  While we are enjoying and savouring the tastes of cheesecake - I get a text from one of my besties from Edmonton - "the wedding is TONIGHT!"  Not only did she text this, but she sent a picture of all of our friends sitting at a beautifully arranged table - with TWO empty seats!!!

I cried, felt sick, couldn't eat anymore....

Cried some more...

Couldn't talk on the phone when she called me a few minutes later....

DH didn't know what to do with me in the middle of a restaurant....

I said to myself "I can't believe that just happend".....

We missed our good friends wedding....

I planned everything for the weekend after....

We were going to travel to Edmonton and have a great weekend...

I clearly didn't read the invitation properly...

I even had it in my daytimer on my phone to be on the 31st...

I cried some more...

I have NEVER felt so sick and sorry about a mistake that I had made....

I know what it's like when people say they are coming to your wedding and then don't show up - had this happen to us...

I can at least say I was planning on coming to their wedding....their wedding on the 31st that is...

So in my stupidity - I cried some more...

I finally got to talk with the lovely couple the other day - and I really didn't have the words to say how sorry I was for missing their beautiful special day.

I hope that we get to see them soon - even if it means flying to Arizona for a weekend of visiting.  

To Dear Dawna and Jason - we wish you all the best - you both are amazing!

So....here is the card I had made them for the wedding....I had to change the number on the front as I had the dates wrong...clearly....

A closer look....

The inside - a little pocket for the gift card we got them...

I'm still coming to terms on how this even happened - what was I thinking?  

So for a little tip to everyone out there....READ the dates properly, WRITE the dates in many, many places, and DON'T FORGET these important dates - you will be saddened if you miss out!
