I flew into Seattle on a redeye from HU (I was… very tired, very swollen, the whole vibe) because it was finally my friend Tiffany’s wedding weekend. After months of solo traveling, it felt so unreal—in the best way—to be reunited with all my best friends for something this big. And yes, I immediately went into budget mode: I skipped the $50–$60 rideshare situation and took the bus instead because it was literally $3.25. Infinitely cheaper, and honestly the timing felt pretty similar with morning rush hour. This vlog is basically my full “chronicles of a bridesmaid” experience: a quick Woodmark Hotel room tour (two beds, iconic), dress rehearsal, welcome party chaos, and then wedding day from early hair/makeup paranoia to photos and the absolute funniest door games. We had explicit instructions from the bride on how to be door greeters (there were steps, there was a password… I cannot). By the end, it’s cocktail hour into reception, grand entrance, and my personal bridesmaid mission: making sure the dance floor is popping. It’s heartfelt, unhinged in little ways, and just a really sweet reminder that slow travel isn’t only about places—it’s also about showing up for your people.
