Whitney’s Officiant Outfit
Whitney, Samia, Sarah, and I kicked of “girl day” by getting our nails done at Tina’s nails. It was a great time that was full of laughs—and some bright nail polish!
After, we headed up to Alderwood mall. Samia was on a mission for her wedding shoes (red of course!). She made that salesman work for sure! Ultimately, she found a lovely pair of creme round toed patent leather mary janes with black piped trim. VERY cute!
Today was THE DAY to do invitations with Whitney and Rachael. Big plans were made.
In hind sight, 1 bottle of champagne, and nearly 1 bottle of vodka might not have been a great idea to consume between the 3 of us in 3.5 hours. BUT, the upside is we sure did have a lot of fun! We managed to eat some good food, start bread on fire, have “budgetary” discussions, go out and play on the playground in the rain, lay in the bark, and warm back up by the fireplace.
At 6 pm, we headed to Red Hook for dinner. Poor Rachael wasn’t feeling so great. Whit and I proceeded to split a beer and dinner, then she came back to my house to finish the last glass of champagne while we chatted.
Totally unproductive, but a good day none the less.
Today, Rachael was kind enough to invite me to give my opinion (!) on the final 3 dresses she is trying to choose between for her August 4th wedding date!
Congratulations to our dear friends Samia & Georg! They are now a happily married couple who have returned from their whirl-wind Germany wedding and Spain Honeymoon! Enjoy this sweet wedding photo:

Whitney and I have been busy planning the “big event†all week. Our theme is NAUGHTY AND NICE. We have all the fun prizes, food, etc planned out and think we are all set. On Wednesday, Seattle gets a huge windstorm knocking out power for 3 days and now we’re feeling pretty nervous about the big bash. Luckily at 9 am Saturday, the power buzzed back on! Whitney and I embarked out into the powerless city… the challenge was finding a grocery store that was open.
At 5:30 the festivities began with our “nice†part of the evening. We bought Samia a lovely feather boa—because of course that is just her style!! She arrived a little late but still made it! To get the evening started, we served her a sparkling cosmo! (more…)
Well, after a few days preparing for the wedding, we all survived! A lot to do, but in the end it came together quite nicely! Heather was a beautiful bride, and we had a great time (maybe a little too much fun!! 🙂 )
We are lucky to have a wedding at the same time we are planning ours… Heather has been passing on her experience in wedding planning with us!
Congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. Weeks
(Weird… now I have to remember to call my friend of 13 years Heather WEEKS!)
We traveled over to Clarkston this weekend for several parties—Shower, Bachelor, Bachelorette.
Friday night was the shower, which was nice. After, everyone was invited to meet up with the men at Heather and Jeremy’s House. Alchohol came out, and things got fun and interesting to say the least!
Jeremy loves the camera! (more…)
