Ryan and I both agree that we are truly blessed with amazing friends and family. I can speak on behalf of both of us when I say our first two wedding showers have been absolutely amazing! We couldn't be more thankful and appreciative. Thank you to everyone who put so much time and love into those showers! We look forward to the other festivities to come that our friends and family are putting together :)
We have such a supportive group of friends that got together and threw my bridal shower for us (see picture). My bridesmaids Kelli, Melissa and Ashley were so excited to plan this special day for us and they truly blew me away! Thank you very much girls! The shower was at beautiful restaurant called Benvenuiti's. It was decorated sooo pretty! The cake was absolutely beautiful and just as yummy (see picture below). Seriously, I wanted to buy one for my house to snack on at home. hehe. Lets just say Ryan didn't get much of that cake. hehe. The appetizers were sooo wonderful - chicken satays, veggies, spinach dip, and kabobs. It was absoultely beautiful and it was more than I imagined! It was so great to see all of the support for our BIG DAY! Ryan and I got some wonderful gifts from some great friends! My entire car was packed from floor to ceiling, not to mention the trunk. hehe. Thank you to Ashley, Kelli and Melissa and all my friends and family that were there to enjoy that day with me :) You made it very special and Ryan and I truly apprecite the amazing gifts and support.
Our second shower was our family and friend shower for my side of the family. My whole family got together and planned a very special day. Ryan got to come to this one, so he was very excited. Ryan and I walked into the shower and were graced with a flood of beautiful plum decorations and smiling faces. It was wonderful and we were blown away. Our family did such a great job and we are so thankful! The cake was a hit! My family had our favorite strawberry cake with chocolate strawberries on top! Yum! If you haven't had a nancy's cupcake or cake I suggest you pay a visit to Cookies and Cards and get one! A-Mazing! The punch was a beautiful purple to match as well and was so yummy! As Ryan and I looked around we saw our engagement pictures, a number of other pretty decorations around the room, and all those we love surrounding us. The guest book was a plate that everyone signed that we can keep and remember forever! What a special gift. Not to mention, we got some amazing gifts. We got our cookware, bakeware, our Vera Wang place settings, among many other wonderful gifts! Yahoo! Thank you to everyone! We are so thankful and appreciate everything our family and friends did for us!
We look forward to the bachelor party, bachelorette party, lingerie showers, rehearsal dinner and other wedding festivities that our family and friends are doing for us. June 5th I will be heading to Dallas for my bachelorette party where I will share wonderful memories with great friends. My maid of honor, Kelli, and two bridesmaids, Melissa and Leslie, graciously planned a wonderful weekend get-away for me and all of us girls. We are staying at Hotel ZaZa and are enjoying a amazing dinner and night out! I just can't wait and feel so blessed for my friends!
Ryan will be taking his bachelor party soon at Lake Texhoma where he will spend the weekend fishing with his best man, Jay. Of course this is Ryan's favorite thing to do, so this bachelor party fits him to a T. But we aren't stopping there friends! My other Matron of Honor Ashley has planned a night out in OKC full of lingerie and yummy treats at the Melting Pot. Then we will venture out to the Piano Bar in downtown. So fun! I can't wait! Also, my wonderful sister-in-laws and mother-in-law, Casy, Summer and Carol, and also Ryan's aunt Pam, are planning a fun bridal shower night full of drinks, music, champagne and lingerie! Gosh, I am truly blessed! I can't wait for a night with my wonderful in-laws. So special! Ryan will also have another bachelor party here in Norman with the rest of his groomsmen where he will enjoy drinks with friends and I am sure they will find some trouble. hehe. To top it all off, Ryan's mom, Carol, and step-dad, Darwin, have planned the most amazing rehearsal dinner for us! We are so excited and we can't wait to share that time with family. Wow! What a dream wedding.
Ryan and I want to say thank you to everyone that has made this journey so special. We are truly blessed and couldn't have a more supportive group of family and friends. Thank you to my family for all of your love, support, and helping with the planning of our big day. My grandparents, my mom, my dad, and Ryans family are what made this wedding possible. Thank you for making our special day so perfect! We are so glad to share these wonderful moments with you all.
