Pre-wedding, wedding and Honeymoon

PRE WEDDING FUN AND NOT SO FUN!

The wedding is taking over the house :)

We had about 1/2 of the envelopes come back needing more postage due to the wax seal. Would I do it again...unsure still, they were sure pretty!

One week before the wedding Calli had another shower. April and Melissa threw her one for their side of

the family!

Enjoying the Fiesta!

Friday morning around 4 in the morning I got a call from Calli in tears. She had an extreamly hard night with her neck and only slept about 2 hours and was in a lot of pain. She wanted to go to the ER but we knew they wouldn't be able to do much so we made her an appointment with Thompson's PA instead. 

Getting blood work done! Not much they could do with it being her wedding the next day but they wanted to at least help her get through her wedding day and honeymoon. 

They gave her some pain meds and then made a follow up appoinment after the honeymoon. 

Even with our busy day at the doctors, the girls were still able to pull off the bachelorette party! 

Manicures and Pedicures

I popped in for pedicures and then while the girls went shopping, to dinner and back to Calli's for gifts, I went and decorated her apartment and then to Brio.

Friday night we all met at Brio and set up!

So Pretty!

Loved all the real flowers

RECEPTION

Entrance to the clubhouse. Ian and Levi made this. There was also a big Canvas print next to it but I didn't get any pictures of their canvas's set up…

I snapped a quick pic of this one as we were cleaning up

The guest book. 

Calli found this globe idea and I loved it! They are such adventureers, that this fit them perfectly.

 

"You mean the world to us, please sign our globe."

The Cake

Charcutrie Board

My biggest stress of the entire wedding planning was the Charcutrie board for their reception and...

it turned out SOOOO good! Way better than I could have imagined!

Could not have done it without the help of Sadie, Gentry, Adam, Jenni, Jorrin, Sean, Amy and Jared and Lacey Olmstead.

Mati was the best MC. He kept the party going throughout the reception!

We had such a good turn out. There was line for the first hour. 

Loved seeing Shana.

Taking a break before the dancing begins!

While they headed to their hotel we cleaned up and got home around 10:30pm. We got Koda while they were on their honeymoon, so we got him for the first night too.

Sunday, Calli and Levi came over for dinner and to say goodbye to Koda.

After all the excitment from the week, once it all calmed down I got so sick. Spent Wednesday, Thursday and Friday in bed. 

Napping in Grandmas bed. Keeping me company while I tried to get better.

Loves rides in the car

And the Christmas tree in our room

While Adam was showering one night, he looked down and there was Koda at his feet soaking wet…so he got bathed! Haha!

Koda and his pine one 

So stinking cute!

Made Calli and Levi a sign to welcome them home. Thought it was a great idea to use Kodas paw prints…

Didn’t quite go as planned, haha! But it was still cute! 

What a fabulous weekend. Of course there were stresses along the way but overall it was so much fun! Happy Wedding Day Levi and Calli! Love you so much!
