Wedding Weekend

8.5.11

One of my besties Aimee got married in California and we drove to Newport for the wedding. 
But the night before we had some drama with Molly.  

My other bestie Krystle and I had plans to do each others hair when she got into town then her, Ryan and I would drive to California at 6:30 am the next morning.  Krystle's mom Luanne was sweet enough to stay with Molly for us while we were gone that weekend.  While Luanne was dropping Krystle off, Molly started having a sneezing attack. Throughout the week she had been sneezing a lot but I didn't think anything about it.  That night she was sneezing so much there was eventually a little bit of blood was on her face. I of course started to freak out and it was probally about 11 pm by this point so I called the animal ER to see if there was anything I could do for her.  I described what was going on, I told them she was sneezing/drive heaving and she had blood on her mustach. Krystle and Ryan heard how I described it and were dying laughing.  I of course on the other hand didn't think it was a funny at all, my dog was dying.  :) The hospisal said there was nothing they could do for me unless we brought her in.  Ryan starting figuring out how we could get her to the ER.  Krystle and I needed him to sleep so he could drive in the morning.  We both needed our hair colored and cut before we left and we would be up till about 3 am.  Ryan thought that he would stay home from the trip to take her to the vet but I said I didn't want him to.  I thought I can put Krystle color on and run to the ER and my hair would get done later.  All of these options came up but we kept shooting them down.  While we are talking poor Molly was sneezing up a storm and was getting blood on the carpet.  I was getting really worried at this point.  We were all looking at her and all the sudden after a really really powerful sneeze a long piece of grass flew out of her nose.  Like I'm not kidding like a 3 inch blade of grass.  We all stared at it in disbelief that it just shot out of her nose.  Ryan and I remembered that earlier that week, we saw her eating grass at our Dover house.  I never thought that it would get stuck in the wrong place and she would have to sneeze it out.  After that baby came out, she was fine and didn't act like anything was wrong.  We started to laugh and we were relieved she was okay and they weekend could go as planned.  Krystle and I got our hair done (it really needed to be done, we had sever regrowth and couldn't be in a wedding like that), stayed up till 4 am and we left at 6:30 am like we planned. 

It was a fun weekend.  We got there just in time for the wedding rehersal and rehersal dinner.  That night all of the bridemaids went to Huntington Beach to make Aimee do a check list full of crazy things. 

Beautiful Aimee and her handsome husband, Josh

*I stole this pic off of facebook. 
I only had my phone, so the pictures aren't the greatest.  Krystle was the photographer for the wedding and I was with her the whole trip so I didn't want to carry my camera around.  She does amazing work, check it out here. http://krystlejohnsonphotography.com/

WEDDING! BEST DAY EVER!!!!

March 5, 2010

Ryan was so excited he showed off his best high kick ever. I hope he stretched before.

 My beautiful bouquet! I've never seen flowers like that before.

 The girls from KS Apraisal. Holly, Stephenie, and Sarah

 Arriving at our luncheon. It was so yummy!

 The Gardner Family

 Harper Family

 My sisters and sister in laws. Rachel, Melissa, Me, Lisa and Jami. We looked so hot with our pink shoes on

 The groomsmen. Todd, Patrick, JD, Ryan, Me, Scott, Steve, Todd, and Nick. They all looked so handsome in their matching ties.

 Flowers, Food, Cake, It was all so amazing!!!! It looked so beautiful.

Notice the pink lamp above my cake, my dad painted it. He's so clever and funny. He came up with that all by himself.

 Ryan making sure he has enough energy to last him through the night.

 Aimee and Krystle, we have been friends since high school.  They are so amazing!

Vanilla Ice Ice Baby! Ryan's brother Dave sang the whole song while the boys were his back up dancers. I was so impressed. 

 Who can forget the dance off!! Ryan vs. Daniel Dawson. I think it's safe to say that Ryan's Red Bull worked and he had plenty of energy to last the night.

 Our first dance! This picture reminds of a scene in a movie. :)

 Daddy Daughter dance

They trashed our cars. They put saran wrap around both of them, flour in Ryan's air vents, toilet paper, and shaving cream. Their time will come. We will get revenge.  Ryan getting blown in the face with the flour. This was the best night ever! We had so much fun! I'm the luckiest girl because I marry Ryan. 

Thank you Nick Sorensen for all of the great pictures. Check out his blog. http://www.thisisnick.com/

I know this happened forever ago but I am just now getting around to posting about it. My awesome sisters Lisa, and Jami, Mom Donna, and sister in laws, Melissa and Rachel put together this beautiful shower for me. It was so much fun. We had all my favorites...like rice crispy treats, brownies, Neds Crazy Sub, and cookies. They know how to throw a spicy party.
