I promise that I'll post REAL professional pictures once we get them. Here are few snapshots that will have to do for now.

Bachlorette Party

The sisters & Gloria planned an AWESOME bachlorette party. It was a "Farewell Tour" for Me. Jake designed the t-shirts that everyone wore. We hit many of my favorite (or meaningful) Minneapolis spots like my parent's house, where I was falsely arrested, Oakwood, Cafe Latte, the Metrodome, Dunn Brothers Coffee, FBC, etc. . . The embarrassing part was that I had to sing a song
(already selected) at EVERY stop!

Thanks for a GREAT & memorable night. Love you all!

Rehearsal Dinner

We had a yummy rehearsal dinner in the church fellowship hall following the rehearsal. Bekah's friend, Sue, catered most of it. We had hot turkey sandwiches, pasta salad, carrots & lots of yummy pie. It was delicious & a fun night.

Rehearsal

The rehearsal went SO well & the best part was that we started at 5pm and were heading down to the Rehearsal Dinner by 6:10pm. Way to go Uncle Jeff!

Friday morning my Mom hosted a Bridal Brunch. We ended up inviting the groomsmen, who were in town, & Dad's & Uncle's. It was a GREAT morning. I loved spending time with all our friends & family who were in town.

And OF COURSE. . .

Wednesday Morning

Wednesday morning we went into church to get a few things ready. Notice the PILES of wedding stuff behind me. We sorted & got ready for decorating later that night.

Pedicures

Tuesday afternoon some of the girls got pedicures.

I'm waiting until Friday to get a manicure & pedicure. Can't wait!
