My Best Friends Wedding

The main event we've all been waiting for...the WEDDING! Now, I was the Maid of Honor, and I have to say - that has got to be one of the most stressful positions a person could have!! I gave a speech infront of 180 people!!! I was soooo nervous!! But, Id say it went pretty well. And even though I swore up and down that I would not cry - I did. Not during the ceremony, or during my speech, or during the first dance, but right in the middle of dinner, of course. haha.

It was such a fun day and I think its nearly impossible not to share in all the happiness when you are attending a wedding with your family and friends and loved ones - so, it was really great. And, it was a learning experience for me since I'm going to be having my own wedding this May!

Ok, here are the pictures!

This is before we went to the venue, having a toast.



Here are some pictures with my mom, dad, and my future husband before the wedding ceremony! =)









The ceremony....




Heather's Father-Daughter dance, Cake cutting, and a picture of me and the bride!






Dancing and having fun!






Awwww, I loooove these pictures! <3





Well, I really hope the wedding photographers got better pictures than I did.... haha

Heather's Pre-Wedding Activities!

Well, as you know - I was recently the Maid of Honor in my best friend Heather's wedding this past July....and as soon as I arrived in California there were a MILLION things we had to do! So here are some (alot) of pictures from all of our girly activities, including the rehearsal dinner - bridal shower - and of course, the bachelorette party in Las Vegas! Enjoy!!

Here are a few pictures of the bridal shower at Heather's aunt's house. It was really cute! And, of course when it was time to play a game where you get wrapped in three rolls of toilet paper - I jumped at the opportunity! =)





Then, a week or so after the bridal shower - we all went to Las Vegas for Heather's three day bachelorette party! And, when I say "we all" - I mean 18 girls! EIGHTEEN! It was quite the party. Of course, we spent the majority of it in the hotel room since it took a minimum of 4 hours for us all to get ready and actually go anywhere - haha. I think we managed to entertain ourselves.

Here we are, right before we got in our shuttle...



Here is the bachelorette herself...Mrs.Heather!



And here are a bunch of pictures of me and a bunch of girls being a bunch of dorks...


















So, apparently if you give me a mask to wear ... I will NEVER take it off. And not only will I not take it off, but I will take a MILLION pictures wearing it! haha.

Ok, here are some pictures from our night out on the town (which only lasted about an hour since everyone was wearing brand new high heels...) But, I think we all looked pretty in our dresses!!!









And here is the last picture of the trip. Heather and I in the car on the way home from the airport...this was taken a half hour after I got off the most terrifying plane flight I have EVER been on!! So much turbulence! I literally thought I was going to die! But, I lived - so we took this cute picture together. =)



This is a picture of Heather and I at the rehearsal dinner.



Here are some more pictures at the table...Ron got to sit at a table with all girls! haha. He was a pretty good sport about it. =)





All right! I hope you had fun looking at all these silly pictures!! I know I had fun taking them!
