Vanessa & Keannon got engaged in February of 2011 and were married on April 13, 2012. Although they were engaged for over a year her entire wedding was pretty much planned in a little over 6 months... no joke... it was crazy.
Vanessa is blessed with amazing friends and she was able to have a bachelorette weekend at a girl friends lake house on Possum Kingdom lake... amazeballs!!!
I headed out to lake on Friday afternoon to help Michelle, the house hostess, get everything ready for the bride to be. Now, if you know Vanessa you know she is always late... always... at least 10 min... except when its her bachelorette weekend... then she shows up HOURS early!!! Michelle and I were seriously running around her house like a couple of lunatics trying to get everything ready before the bride showed up.... Now, if you know Michelle and I you know that we are amazing and pulled everything together, duh.
Once we got everything together... and by everything together I mean opened the liquor, took some shots and made some drinks... Michelle offered to drive us around the lake and show us some beautiful homes and where all the fires had burned... which was pretty much everywhere, so sad. Also, we realized we didn't have eggs for the banana bread and had to go yank one from a neighbor.
When we got back to the house from our golf cart expedition VJ started getting calls from the other party guests who were lost trying to find the house... being the nice people we are, VJ and I went to go meet them... and found some construction equipment along the way....
The evening progressed nicely.... thanks to great company and plenty of booze the remaining pictures from that first evening are not be shared publicly as several of us are mothers and proper ladies... yes, ladies.
On Saturday Michelle used her Cliffs pass to get us all into the pool at the club house, perf.
It pays to have your hairstylist as your matron of honor.
We basically had the pool to ourselves which allowed us to consume ridiculous amounts of mimosas, act like idiots and chow down on some deliciousness. Surprisingly, we all managed to stay sober enough to make it back to Michelle's to get ready for VJ's lingerie shower & dinner at the Grill at the Harbour that night.
By Sunday everyone was exhausted... i.e. hungover and sunburnt. It was a fabulous weekend filled with good friends, good food and plenty of booze!!! Hey Michelle... can I put in a reservation for my bachelorette party!?!?!?!
Your reservation is in and the house is open!
ReplyDeleteI love your perspective of the weekend! I may need some of your pics when I get ready to scrapbook that event...only the ones that aren't inappropriate. She can scrapbook those if she wants to! LOL!
