Deborah's Wedding Pictures

I haven't posted to the blog since November...whenever I finished blogging about my sister's wedding.  So it's only appropriate that my comeback begins with a link to more wedding pictures.  Her photographers (who are amazing!) just got some pictures up on their blog, so here's the link.  Enjoy.  They are pretty darn good at what they do!

Deborah's Wedding - Race to the Altar

The day of Deborah's wedding a couple of her friends put on a 5k "Race to the Altar".  It's become a tradition when one of them gets married.  It was felt great to get some exercise in on the day of the wedding.  We had brunch afterward and there were awards.  It was a great start to a wonderful day!

 Welch girls.  Yes, we parked at Hooters.

Deborah's Wedding Week - Friday

Friday is kind of a blur.  My aunt and great aunt threw a wonderful bridesmaid's luncheon.  Once we got back to the hotel it was time to change clothes and get ready to head to the rehearsal.  We rehearsed and then headed to the dinner.  It was a great day before the wedding.

Deborah's Wedding Week - Thursday

Deborah got married this last weekend and I am so excited to blog all my pictures.  There are a lot.  So I am going to have to break it out a little bit.  We got to Austin Wednesday night really late.  Thursday morning we had brunch and then hit the ground running putting room bags for out of town guests together, working on last minute details, getting pedicures and having dinner with family that lives in Austin. 

 Jeff & NolaAnn (aunt & uncle) stuffing the room bags.

 Lots and lots of bags.

Erin got Married!!!

My precious friend Erin got married a few weeks ago.  It was a very fun wedding and great to catch up with a lot of my PwC girls.  I'm thankful that we've kept up with these friendships!

Deborah's Bachelorette

And now I'm only a month behind.  We had a great weekend in Dallas for Deborah's Bachelorette Party.  This post will be a little picture heavy, but it really was a great weekend with most of her closest friends there.  I know it made me excited for the wedding, and I hope it made her feel the same way.

We started the weekend with brunch (Dream Cafe):

 Michelle, Natalie and Kate.

 Megan, Kim, Leeann, me.

 

Natalie & Kate

 Courtney, Megan and Kim

 Alisha, Anna, Deborah, and Courtney.

Then we lounged around the pool:

Then we had the lingerie shower:

Then to dinner:

Then we made a pit stop at the Gingerman:

 Where Deborah was convinced (it didn't take much) to get up on a table and dance the dance we have all officially dubbed "the Bird".  It was what the singer had her doing and it was just hilarious!

We then hit up Karaoke:

 Korean karaoke, that is.  Private rooms are SO the way to go!

 We had some very animated karaoke-ers.

 Welch Sisters!

 And karaoke turned into a little bit of a dance party. :)

 Anna was the karaoke allstar!!!

And one more for good measure!
