10 Days away....

Where did the time go?!?  It feels like we just got engaged!  Crunch time is upon us and surprisingly I think we are on top of everything... I always say organization is the key to success!!  Ryan and I both look forward to seeing you all on June 4 and can't wait to share such a special day to both of us with you all!  

Last weekend we went a took a few photo's down at Huntington Beach... I suppose they are still considered engagement pictures since we are not married yet!  Here are a few of our favs...

Thanks for following along this process folks!

Just a reminder the boat leaves at 5:30 so please don't be late... it's a cold swim to the boat ;)

Bachelor and Bachelorette Parties!

Finally a night to relax and not worry about wedding planning!  Ryan and I both had a wonderful time!  A special thanks to Ally Crayon and David Parnell for all the planning that went into both parties!

The girls went out first and we decided to go to Hollywood and have a bit of fun!  Ally and I had massages that afternoon at our hotel and then the limo arrived!  

Oh you better believe they dressed me up!!  Like my "Bling"?

April and Anna

My sissys!  Ally and Melissa

Super excited!

We had an amazing dinner a Lola's (Home of the Apple Martini... coincidence?  I think not ;) )  After dinner the limo took us around.

We stopped at Saddle Ranch (my crazy girls thought I would get on a mechanical bull... ummm.. Nope!)

  

SO we settled for shots bought by the bartender!

Then we hit The Brass Monkey (a karaoke bar), and a scary looking bar where we promptly left (Don't remember the name) just to name a few.  All in all we had a great time!  Thanks ladies!!

(This we at the scary bar)

Fist pumping like a champ at the karaoke bar! 

The night ends... we had an amazing time!!

My amazing Matron of Honor, Ally Crayon

And on the the Bachelor Party....

Ryan and the guys went down to San Diego the following weekend and played golf during the day.  They went to a great dinner and as you will see... they left no evidence!  No pictures to speak of... at least as far as we know (*wink* *wink*)

We both had a great time!  Thanks guys!! :)

Pre Wedding Festivities in full swing!

As you can see by the ticker at the top of the page we are 32 days out....

ummm where the heck did the time go!?!

With just a few details left to smooth out we have started the pre wedding celebrations!

First up was my Bridal Shower!

And let me tell you what a day it was!!  I felt like a princess!  It was absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!  My Cousin Ally (and Matron of Honor) and my Momma planned a beautiful day... I couldn't have wished for anything better!  My future sissy-in-law pampered me with doing my hair (color AND style).  My aunt Karen and Aunt Sharon helped set things up and my Dad and Brother did most of the heavy lifting!  Thank you all for the hard work I know you put in... let me tell you it was well worth it!!  It was a day filled with family, friends, drinks and great food!

Here's a few pictures to show a bit of the beauty!

Mom and Ally did a great set up... my theme was Peacock :)

This is the walkway leading up to my Parents house

A few of the guests....

Games....

And gifts!  (Couldn't publish them all... *ahem*)

Thank you to everyone for all the great gifts!  Most of them have already been put to use!!

Stayed tuned for more updates as this weekend is the Bachelorette Party, the following weekend is the Bachelor Party and then all preparations leading up to the BIG DAY!!!

Love you all... XOXO

Invites are out!!! (As most of you know already!!)

After only a few tears, wrong ink color, wrong paper and an evening of papercuts and witty banter... This is the final product!  We decided that our personalities are a little more "out of the box" so decided not to go with the "traditional" invite.  We wanted it to be fun yet classy... with LOTS of personality!

I hope everyone liked them! 

(Yes, that does say Elton John... we sent him an invite... don't judge me!)

We had an assembly line going to make things a little more organized.... didn't help much hahaha!

Though this may look like an argument... it was definitely "witty banter" LOL

"Cheese...?" 

Almost done!!!  

**To Mom and Dad Parker and Mom and Dad Lorenzen Thank you for all the help!!  They could not have come out any more beautiful!**
