Keely's Wedding

On Friday I was lucky enough to stand up with a good friend of mine while she got married. During photo time, her 7 year old daughter had my camera, so the angle is a little off, but enjoy...
Here is Keely with another one of her bridesmaids.





In order to save some money Keely got her flowers through a wholesaler and her mom did all the center pieces and I did the bouquets. I have NEVER done bouquets in my life, but I think they turned out all right.
Bride's bouqet:

Throwing bouqet:

and you can see the bridesmaid's bouqet in the photo's above. I also helped out with Keely's make up and the other bridesmaids make up (Neither one of them are girly girls and neither one was comfortable doing make up). I also did Arianna's hair (keely's daughter).


And then there was the reception. It was probably one of the funest weddings & receptions I have been too. The wedding, was a minor roast on the groom. The priest went to high school with both Keely & Paul so there were some GREAT stories and the reception had dancing. So of course, not knowing anyone there other than Keely I danced the night away (And I paid for it the whole weekend...). Here are some photo's & Stories of what went on- of course of david dancing. David threatening to attack the cake before the bride & groom arrived.

Keely's aunt was getting a little fresh with David, but then again he was in a three piece suit and was incredibly hot, so who could blame her? I did have to reclaim him though.
Saturday night fever anyone? I was very excited about the cake. Keely hired Mike from "Mike's amazing Cakes" to do her wedding cake. Now for those of you who watch the food network know that Mike is a good friend to Duff Goldman. So even though I didn't get to meet Mike it was so cool to taste a cake and see a cake that is in the same league as Duff Goldman. I hope this video uploads.... I know you all have to turn your head to the side, but it's for Theresa- it's David dancing to Ice, Ice, Baby just for you :-).

Overall it was a GREAT wedding! I had helped Keely for months with ideas and money/time saving "Martha Stewart" hints to have a great wedding on a budget. We had a GREAT time and I can't remember the last night I danced the night away. Which leads to this last story: Keely's request to the DJ was to play all the bad wedding songs. So we danced to The Chicken Dance, The Electric Slide (Which BTW, David had never heard of... WHAT???? I was the QUEEN of the electric slide in high school), The time warp, YMCA and MANY, MANY others). It was a BLAST.

A weekend to remember

On friday we went to the rehearal dinner for Kim's Wedding. It was a lot of fun and it ended with a wiffle ball tournament.



We had a lot of fun and everyone got a chance to hit. Afterwards some girls went to Dick's for some last minute comfort food. Lorena Gate, Christina (Keith's sister), Heather Jameson, Tracy Muter & Kim all enjoyed some people watching, greasy food & some great shakes:

(Sorry Lorena, I know this isn't a good shot). We dropped Lorena off and the rest of us headed back to the hotel for a last bachlorette hoorah.

The next morning we got up way to early to get our hair & make done for Kim's wedding.






taking a breather


and getting ready to walk down the aisle... don't worry she took the glasses off just in time


The wedding was a LOT of fun! we had a blast and and I am soooo very happy for my best friend her her fabulous new husband. for a LOT more photos and wedding stories you will have to wait and see Kim's blog. I know she has a LOT to post in the coming weeks so be sure to stop by often!!!!

A weekend to remember Part 2

On Sunday, David & I signed up to walk the 5k Jingle Bell walk/run for arthritis. we joined Sadie's Stars team. Sadie Jordan from church is one of the girls we went to Disneyland with and she struggles with RA. I am so encouraged by her positive spirit that when this came up I wanted to do this for her. We became and "official" member when we received our matching scarfs for the team.



As we started the race it started to snow just little bit. It was so much fun. After the 5k walk David & I headed down to the game.


Josh Brown fratenizing with the enemy.


Kurt Warner (AZ QB) looking at the camera! Say cheese!
And for all those football fans...


The NFL replay booth... this is were good and bad stuff happen.

It was such and exhausting weekend. Looking back I don't think I would ever plan so much in two days again. But I did have a great time and I am so glad I have these memories!
