The weekend before the wedding

When Brian and I scheduled our wedding we tried to get it as close to the end of school as possible because his brother and sister would still be in town and so would my roommates. We were going to do it Saturday April 23rd, but my sister went to New York City that week wouldn't be back yet. We scheduled the wedding for Tuesday April 26th instead, but then we had a whole weekend to fill up.

Saturday I had the roommates and Jesse over to ride the horses. It was kind of crazy to have that many beginners on our high strung jumping horses. But I went out early and exercised some of them earlier and everything went pretty well. Brian had also been around horses enough at this point to be a big help, especially with things with saddling. One of my roommates had taken riding lessons before and was excited to get back on a horse.
That afternoon Brian's family flew into Utah. That night my roommates, my future sister-in-laws, and I went out for a Bachelorette party. We went to dinner at Chili's, went to a movie, and then went to Cold Stone for ice-cream. It was a wonderful girls night out.
By Sunday even more family had come into town. Everyone congregated at my parent's house. We sat around and talked and played ping-pong. It was a lot of fun and it was amazing how all these people who hadn't ever met each other could enjoy each other's company so much.
Monday a bunch of us went to the church where our reception would be and starting setting up. This day was the first day I started to get nervous. I had to drive to Provo to pick up a couple of roommates and hit a curb. My roommates said I couldn't drive anymore, and had Brian drive. He drove over to where we would live that fall to show my roommates and he hit a trashcan. Some of my roommates tried to mutiny and take over the car, but Brian wouldn't give it up.
From there we went to Los Hormonos and had our wedding luncheon. We had it a day early to make the wedding day less stressful. It was alot of fun and the food was great. I am glad now that Heather went to New York City and delayed the wedding because we got to have such a fun weekend and wonderful memories.
