Wedding hair party!

All of the girls including the two moms had their hair done the morning of the wedding. The salon let us have a table of snacks and mimosas to snack on while we were getting ready.

Rehearsal Dinner

We had our rehearsal dinner at Pizza Nova's. It was laid back, with good food. We were just so happy to have more time to spend with our friends and family!

Ceremony Rehearsal

After the beach afternoon, we all headed over to the ceremony site and had the rehearsal. It was freezing and windy....Thank goodness the actual wedding wasn't like that!!

Beach Party

We had so much fun getting to spend the afternoon the day before the wedding at the beach with all of our guests! We miss everyone so much. It was so nice just to get to sit around and talk and actually catch up with everyone! Hope you all had fun!

The Filipowicz's even started a full on family volleyball game!

John's bachelor day

All the CG boys decided to kidnap John and take him on his bachelor day....so of course what did they do? They kidnapped him and took him via rental bus to Mammoth Ski resort about 7 hours away. They drove all night, slept for about 4 hours in a hotel before hitting the slopes, skiing all day, and then driving home. The bus dropped John off at the house at the same time I was getting home from my bachelorette party. I think they had a ton of fun, I know John did!

Bachelorette Day!

All the girls surprised me on the morning of my bachelorette day at my house with flowers and gifts! Nell and Cammie were up bright and early despie being 7 months pregnant! Theresa, John' sister, even flew in a day early to surprise me. I have the best girls!!!

First, we went to a spa where we all had manicures and pedicures. I even had a massage! It was awesome just to hang around the pool, chat, and get excited for the wedding!

After, we all got ready and went out to one of my favorite restaurants in San Diego, Kemosabe. We had lots of good food and drinks! Definitely lots of fun!

Later in the evening, we went to the W hotels beach bar, where all my college girls showed up! It was so much fun and maybe there was a little bit of drinking....

Easter Sunday

John's parents came into town the weekend before the wedding, which happened to be Easter weekend. To celebrate Easter and being in San Diego, they took us to the very posh Hotel Del Coronado Sunday brunch. There were tables and tables of food and desserts with unlimited mimosas. Not a bad Easter huh? The scenery was beautiful and we even got to see an Easter egg hunt out on the beach!
