Bachelorette Party & Bridal Shower

In the weeks before the wedding my two maid of honors threw me a bachelorette party and a bridal shower - both turned out to be really fun and memorable!

First came the bachelorette party!

Heather M. set up a slumber party at her place in Newport. The Heathers set up TONS of candy and had games and a whole stack of girly movies picked out to watch.

CANDY & CUPCAKES!!!


Dinner at The Cannery in Newport .... amazing food!!! (and so much fun!)

The bachelorette party was awesome - a night I wont forget! :)


This is the bridal shower that Heather W. planned - it took place at Pinot Provence in Costa Mesa and it was the perfect setting - I couldn't have picked a better place! The decorations were perfect and we had this secluded area and the staff was super nice to us! It was so much fun!

AMAZING food!!! So good ...

Especially the desert! A homemade kit-kat bar with coffee ice cream!

PRESENTS!!!! AHHHH!

Scrapbooking challange!! Heather had this great idea to break everyone into groups and have them create a scrapbook page for Ron and I and then at the end I had to pick the best one! :)


Sooo hard to pick a winner!!! Can you tell which one Celeste worked on .... (look for skulls) haha.




It was so nice to spend a day with all my favorite ladies!!!

The Rehearsal

Here are some pictures of our rehearsal ceremony and dinner!

Here is a picture of Ron with his best men before the rehearsal eating Del Taco :)


Onsite at Aliso Creek Inn


Ron and the best men - James (brother) and Eric :)

In the big van on the way to Dukes in Huntington Beach for the rehearsal dinner!! So much fun - and I could not believe how many people fit in this van!!

At the restaurant under Dukes before dinner....

We had some family visiting from Wisconsin..... :D


Me and my besties! It was a really really special dinner, Ron's stepdad gave a really nice speech and Ron and I had so much fun and it was so nice to have our closest friends and family with us :)

Photobooth

I have always loved photobooths, so when we were planning the wedding I knew we should get one. It turned out to be a hit and we got some really funny photos from it!

Here are some of the best ones...


Okay - there are more but I think this is all I can post without getting in trouble!

<3

Ok...so this is funny. This guy was staying at the venue but wasn't a guest at the wedding and he got in the photobooth and managed to take a few pictures before getting kicked out by the attendant...haha - I almost feel bad because it looks like he was having so much fun!
