Thursday afternoon, after getting the rental car and getting all the packing ready – we headed out to Zach and Layne’s – we chilled out a bit and went over to the hotel where Zach’s sister and her family was staying. Zach and Layne were trying to get some last minute details in order – so we got pizza and wings to enjoy once everyone returned!

We crashed Thursday night and got up early Friday morning to get some other tasks done and out of the way – Jared and I took a walk on the beach – more pictures to come later – and talked about the shock of being pregnant and how excited we both were. God has such perfect timing!

We went to lunch at a BBQ joint – mmmmmmm ribs – and then I went shopping with Layne and Tiffany to get some other last minute things – final ring fitting – earrings – flowers. I made the boutonnieres while Layne and Tiffany made the bouquets for the girls. 

We made it back in time to change and head to the rehearsal and dinner! The girls went out – asking me to go – but I don’t really go out anymore – if I ever really did – and I am so tired lately and can barely make it past 9 PM let alone getting ready to go out at 12. Christy and I got a hotel room for the night – right on the beach! 

Layne brought her wedding dress to hang out in our room for the night – pictures to come later – and I just had to take some shots while the sun rose over the beach the next morning!

In the morning we got around and went to the nail salon – meeting Indica – the photographer for the wedding. I got short tips on my nails – even though they cut the heck out of my fingers. I haven’t had my nails done since my own wedding – so it was nice! They are still on too!

I went back to the hotel with Indica and Christy – getting another hotel room for the night – switching Layne’s dress to the reception site and grabbing some lunch. 

Jared grew up with Dave, Dan, and Zach – being a really close group of friends. Christy is married to Dave – and is such a sweetheart! We had a great lunch and Indica joined us – it was so nice to sit outside and have lunch in FEBRUARY! I rode back to the reception site with Indica to grab some shots of the girls getting ready – the guys before the ceremony – then before you know it – the wedding was set to begin!

Jared took these shots with my camera while I was trying to set up the video …

Mindy is the mother-of-the-groom and a kindred spirit! I noticed that her necklace was on backwards so I was fixing it for her!

Christy and Dave …

Zach – the groom himself …

Dan and Dave …

I’ll post more about the wedding and reception once I get those pictures up!
