Rehearsal

Can I just tell you how much I loved my wedding coordinator, Dana, at Le Jardin??? She was awesome and made the rehearsal so much fun and it was so easy for everyone to know what they were supposed to do on the day of the wedding. Getting all of our many parents situated in the right seats could have been challenging but she made it so easy. :) Here are a few pictures of the fun!

Manicures and Pedicures

After the luncheon, we went to Nancy's and had manicures and pedicures. :) Dana and Melissa met us there. The plan was that Dana would pick up Melissa from the airport and head straight to the luncheon getting there right after it started. Well, Melissa's plane was late so instead they met us at the nail salon. We brought with us a small piece of cake with two charms still in it so that they could pull out their charms. We all enjoyed some fruit, cheese, and beverages while getting pampered. Everyone's nails looked beautiful.

Bridesmaid Luncheon

As is the custom, I had a bridesmaid luncheon on Saturday morning. It was a wonderful time with friends and family. We ate lunch at RJ Goodies. Apparantly the menu that I made was a big hit. When Miranda got married, one thing she did that I loved and promised to do at my wedding was a charm cake. Charms with special significances (example globe means you will be a world traveler) are buried into the cake before it is decorated. They are attached by long ribbons. My bridesmaids and house party each chose one and pulled revealing the charm. Steve's stepmom got me a lolita wine glass to add to my collection and a beautiful white nightgown. It was a truly special time for all of us.

Bachelorette Party

Sorry that these couple of posts are out of order. I am not sure how to reorder the posts. But I have to post about Father's Day and more wedding festivities. I apologize for the confusion. After I get all of the wedding stuff up, I will post about swimteam and then I will try to stay in order! :)

On Friday before my wedding, my sweet friends threw me a bachelorette party. We had dinner and drinks at Tommy Bahamas in the Woodlands and then went to Jaspers for a little while. As you all know, I was perfectly happy just hanging out, eating some dinner, and having a few drinks. I know they wanted me to be crazier, but that is just not me. :) I was perfectly happy to go home and go to bed early!

I love this picture...wish it wasn't blue..somehow when the waiter took the picture, he changed it to a weird setting. I do think it is a great picture of all of us....I guess it is in honor of the Smurf movie coming out this summer! I am pretty sure they were around during all of our childhoods :)



Happy Father's Day!

We celebrated the World's Best Dad this year on Father's Day. Braden made him a scavenger hunt and before we left for church, Steve had to search the house to find his gifts. Braden made him a Texas Tech mug rug...he sewed it in class this year, and the rest of us got him a monogrammed leather case to keep his earphones. We sure love our daddy! :)

My four favorite boys! :)
