For Bryans bachelor party he went nothing more than to spend time with his guys at Lake Elsinore for a wakeboarding trip. He had the best time and loved every minute of it. Thanks to everyone that made the trip super fun. Thanks!!!
I was lucky enough to have two bacholrette parties. My first one was on a cruise to Mexico (I'll blog about that later) and my second one was with my comedy sportz girls. The night was two weeks before the wedding so it really was my LAST night out as a single lady. What I thought was going to be dinner and a sleep over with some girlfriends turned into one of the best nights ever. We started off at Natasha's house for a couple of drinks and then off to dinner we went. When we got to the bar (where we had dinner) there was a Jamaican cricket team! Of course all of us were excited to be surrounded by tall, athletic, Jamaican men. The owner of the bar bought us all a round of tequila shots (I love being a girl) and the night took off from there!
Thank you Sarah and Natasha for such a wonderful night out! You were amazing hosts :) The night was amazing!!! I was surrounded by so many wonderful ladies :) It was perfect way to say good bye to my single days!
At the bar I was given a list of things that I needed to complete before leaving. Some of the things listed were: get 50 phone numbers, get a guy to moon everyone, give a guy a tattoo, find a condom, make a toilet paper veil...etc.GOOD Times. I finished every task!
Find a guy with a condom...This guy handed me an EXTRA large one :)
Once we got back to Natasha's house we played dirty pictionary. This has to be one of my favorite games to play!Can you guess what I was drawing??
Closer to the end of the night we got a lovely knock on the door. Some sexy firefighters were ready to put out some type of fire :) haha. It was really fun. The reactions of all the girls were some of my favorite pictures!! (The three guys were our friends, so it made the night that much more fun)
The Monday before the wedding Bryan and I wanted to go on one last date as boyfriend and girlfriend. With the rest of the week super packed with finishing up details, friends and family coming into town and last mintue seating chart arrangements, a date with my better half was a perfect way to spend some time together before the big day. We went to see Inception. I was a great movie. As you can see from the pictures, we weren't too worried about last minute crash diets :) we really enjoyed ourselves.
Here is a picture of our seating chart...the teacher in my loved putting it together...The bride in me didn't like it all that much :)
The Tuesday before the wedding I scheduled a day with my girls at glen Ivy. I knew I would be feeling the stress that week so I though it would be best to escape for a little R & R before the big day. I got an hour long message, thanks to my future husband. It was perfect! Just what I needed. The rest of the day was spent at the pool with bridal party (Jamie, Sarah and Candace), family (my mom, and Cece), and future family (Kathy, mother in law, and Aunt LaDonna). We took mudd baths and finished off in the Grotto, thanks Candace and Cece. The Grotto is my favorite part :) I just love the way my skin feels after. Here are some pictures from the day...
The week of the wedding there were a million things to do!! Bryan and I tried to make sure everything was done a couple weeks before the wedding but it just didn't work out that way... Even though the week of the wedding was filled with craft projects and and organizing who goes where, we made time to have fun and laugh. Here is the last picture of our lovely wedding chain. Made you rest in peace wedding chain :)
As the days get closer the chain gets shorter...The other day we went to go get our marrage liscense. I thought it was going to be a long painful process but it was actually really quick. Bryan and I were both presently surprised. After the easy task we treated ourselves to the movie Toy Story 3. I balled my eyes out while Bryan laughed at my tears...It was a perfect day :)
This year has been a big year for weddings and babies :) Bryan and I had so much fun at all these weddings and we're looking forward the other two weddings this year! The Slattery wedding was the most recent wedding we went to. It was June 26th in Seattle. The weekend was completely amazing. Bryan and I had so much fun. We were able to see the city, which was great because Bryan hadn't seen it before. The day after the wedding a large group of us went white water rafting. The sights were breath taking. The Ricker wedding was May 29th 2010. The wedding was perfect and was such a wonderful location. The bride and groom are both close friends of ours so it was extra special. The first wedding of the year belongs to the Powell wedding. It was so much fun!!Here are some high lights of the night!
