july 14th was a very special day for two very special people. one of my best friends married the man of her dreams. leading up to this glorious day were many fun wedding and bridal showers where i was so lucky to see two of my best friends so often. you know who you are {cough cough} ali and tin :)
i have posted pictures from some of ali's showers previously, so this post is going to strictly be dedicated to the weekend of ali and andrew's wedding.
ooooohhhhh how wonderful it was to be part of their special weekend.
the weekend began with a beautiful bridal luncheon that ali's "gran," her sweet aunts and cousins had planned for all of us. of course me and tin still act a little childish so it wouldn't be normal if some of these pictures weren't taken :)
gosh i love this girl.
and am so thankful that i have had this crazy girl to call one of my best friends for soooo many years.
thanks to someone instagram[ing] this picture i was able to add this lovely picture of tin and i with the bride-to-be. there aren't many people out there that can say they are still best friends with girls from 1st and 2nd grade. this girl can.
another lovely pic of tin and i after the bridal luncheon :)
all of the bridesmaids and cousins after the bridal luncheon.
friday evening was of course the rehearsal and the rehearsal dinner. at the rehearsal dinner i was so happy that 3 more of our best friends were going to be joining us {cough cough} george, tess, and ker :) it was so long over due. . . christmas to be exact!
by the looks of these pictures, you can see that we don't miss a beat.
so happy that we all still remain so close :)
i feel like i am just getting started on this post because the most important day was yet to come. saturday afternoon we were suppose to be meeting at the church around 1 to start getting ready. well i figured that with this group of girls what wouldn't make this day a little brighter with some cheese dip from el poblano, so of course i stopped and picked some up.
