Pre Wedding Adventure

So I thought I'd share the story of our wedding, and it wouldn't be complete without the pre-wedding story...with some photos!!

We made the drive back home around the middle of September. We had a 12-15 hour car ride, so we left around midnight to drive back. We arrived at D's house and his family was so happy to see us (they hadn't seen us since D moved out here in February and I moved out in March).
That evening we headed over to the bridal shower. There were quite a few people there. Everyone was so happy to see us, it had been months. We opened gifts, ate food, had fun. D went home and I went and stayed with my parents. The dog was so happy to see me (I love him, he's a big Akita, so loveable!).
We had another "bridal shower" with friends that week at my favorite Japanese bar in Center City. It was a lot of fun!



My maid of honor and I headed down to the shore a few days before the wedding so we could chill, etc. We picked up my dress in Cherry Hill and drove down to the shore. We were staying in an old style hotel right by the beach. It was cute! We spent our time shopping and walking around Cape May. We even got our nails done and had breakfast with our friend Ashley (who came down a little early for the wedding as well).

The day before the wedding there was a small marathon so we got to watch it from the hotel. We did a quick rehearsal at the venue, then we went to our rehearsal dinner at my family's beach house. There were A BUNCH of people.



D suggested we grab the boogie boards and go to the beach. We thought he was nuts at first because it was a little cooler and it was windy. But nope, he wasn't. We grabbed the boogie boards and D, his best man (S), his wife, my maid of honor, D's sister, her boyfriend, and I piled in the cars and went down to the beach. D and S hopped right in and were in there quite a while. I went in, dunked under the water and came back out. IT WAS COLD!
S ended up getting stung by a jellyfish in the ordeal.
