This isn't part 2 of my Big Bear recap but rather a good story because every good trip needs one. So on Friday the day Sean and I went to the wedding, I was wearing this outfit...
shortly before the photo was taken I biffed it up pretty bad!
But let me take you back even further, I love Jelly Belly jelly beans. Like I used o know every flavor just by looking at them, I had to try the new flavors that came out and have even been to the Jelly Belly factory up in Fairfield, CA. Anyways there was this cute candy shop in Big Bear and I decided I wanted some Jelly Bellys. I put some in a bag and then Sean walks into the store, adding more of this and that. He paid for the candy and walked out proudly declaring most expensive candy ever, we bought almost $10 worth.
Then we headed back to the car because we had to leave for the wedding soon. As we were walking back and coming across some ice, Sean said, "be careful Meg, there is ice" while I was busy in my own world happily eating my candy with the bag in my hand. And then it happened, I totally ate it on the ice, legs swooped to the left and the rest of my body to the right. While I was going down, candy and all, I smacked Sean in the face with the bag of candy. I landed promptly on my right hip and the majority of the candy slipped all over the pavement and ice. I was horrified because I was afraid my skirt would be dirty, my sparkly tights would be ripped and those were the only clothes I brought to wear to the wedding. Fortunately the only casualty because the candy was the slit in the back of the skirt was ripped a teensy bit.
So moral of the story:

So moral of the story:
- listen to your husband when he tells you to be careful when walking on ice
- don't wear the only outfit you have to a nice event hours before the actual event
- don't eat candy and walk on ice at the same time

you pooor thing!!! be thankful it was only a rip and your outfit was okay, but also that you didnt get hurt!!! i've fell on the ice before (klutz-ily, and while iceskating) and its not a fun time! (as you know obviously)
Noted! At least it was a small rip! I bet nobody noticed. Where did you get this skirt?
awe :(

Ouch! That must have hurt but it makes a good story at least. :) I can see the jelly bellies now, scattered all over the ice after smacking your hubs in the face with them. Hopefully you had at least some left!
Such a cute outfit! Sorry about the rip glad you were not hurt though!
oh no! glad to know you were okay though! bummer about your Jelly Belly jellybeans and your skirt!
Oh no! I'm glad you didn't break your ankle or anything!

Oh goodness! At least you didn't hurtself, only your pride. But good thing your outfit was saved! Although if it hadn't been, you would have had an excuse to go get a new outfit :)
Totally sounds links something I would have done too :)
haha sorry, but this story just made me laugh out loud! I could just picture the fall happening in my head! so funny
Eeks! Sounds painful. Sorry about the skirt. It is a cute outfit,though.
Oh my, I'm glad to hear you're okay! It is definitely a cute outfit, though! :)
Those icy patches can come out of nowhere! Glad you're okay and it looks like the skirt can be saved as well... but I hope you didn't eat the jelly bellies off the ground. ;-)
Oh NO!!!! Glad to hear you weren't hurt!
aw you poor thing! at least the only thing you ripped was not in an embarassing place!!
Oh No!! that is such a bummer, but at least the damage is minimal and you didnt get hurt!
xo
Glad you (or your clothes) weren't hurt worse!
Oh my goodness....sounds like something I would do! I'm glad you are okay...but sad about your candy!
Oh no! Glad you weren't hurt! We went to a destination wedding a couple of years ago and I was changing for the wedding in our hotel room - and the zipper wouldn't zip, at all!! Thank GOODNESS Nick had suggested I bring a spare dress, husbands do know best, right?! ;)
Meg,
you look fab!! Love that bright color on you :-) Glam!!

i'm glad you were not hurt.
i love your outfit! so pretty. and that necklace! i'm trying to find one similar to that.
fyi: if eating candy and walking on ice at the same time is wrong, i don't want to be right ;).
Aww, that would totally happen to me. Glad you were okay and the damage wasn't worse, though!
Sometimes you just really need candy. I don't see the problem. : )
You guys look great! Love the photo!
oh noes! that is totally something i would do!!
oh my gosh. ahh i hate the ice. it is seriously sooo icey here and i am so paranoid about slipping.
good thing things didn't go too badly.

Ouch! At least it was the back slit of the skirt (which is totally cute btw). I got a little too low at a wedding we went to this summer and did the same thing (insert sheepish smile here)
Glad you weren't hurt! You looked gorgeous :)
girl, my hip hurts just from reading that story! I hope you can fix your skirt - the color is beautiful!
Love your outfit and this story made my day!
...as embarrassing as I'm sure that this was, this is hilarious!
And you looked beautiful anyways. (:
awww well what a pretty outfit anyway, oopsie! Hey, it could have been a lot worse :/
xo
Oh no! haha. glad it wasn't any worse :) cute skirt, even if it did get a little ripped!
haha great life lessons. I will do my best to remember this if I am near ice soon!
Oh no!! Cute outfit though! ;)
Oh no! That's such a bummer. But atleast it didn't keep ripping!
