the day Michael James became my adventure partner for life was one for the books. that whole weekend, starting thursday, was nothing short of amazing. thursday lunch was the last "not married" date for Michael & I... bbq tacos, crepes, and a side of pep-talk was much needed with my man. thursday night, all of my closest girlfriends got together for dinner, dancing, and one big sleepover! it was almost overwhelming to have dear heart friends from different times of life together in one place, enjoying each other's company and sharing tons of stories.
with friday came getting nails done with these girls, writing notes, being late to the rehearsal **oops** and the best rehearsal dinner I could have ever dreamed of **ok, I may be biased** we had our rehearsal dinner at AQ Chicken House in springdale, which was extra special because that's where Michael's parents' had their rehearsal dinner. we ate amazing food, were entertained by Brandon's mr bhs dance piece **insert side-splitting laughter here**, shared more stories, and shed tons of happy-tears **its like a pre-req to being in the haefner fam**
after rehearsal dinner, I kept with tradition and had a sleepover with the OOC girls, julie and shana, aka: best matrons of honor ever. period. we drank wine **minus prego Shan**, pillow-talked, and dreamed about our future family vacations. then I woke up and it was saturday. the day was a blur between hanging with sweet girlfriends, curling hair, getting makeup done, and before I knew it, six o'clock was here. the day was what dreams are made of: from the venue, to the amazing florist, to-die for cake, and perfect photographers... with the help of these amazing people, the best families two people could ask for, and dear friendships, we were able to begin this crazy, new adventure of following the Lord together as one.
here's to family, friends, and #haefnerforever.
