Rehearsal/Bachelorette Party

The day before the wedding was both the rehearsal and my bachelorette party! The rehearsal was early, as the venue always has weddings going on (weekdays included) so they needed the patio open at night. We went in at 11 for the rehearsal then had a sort of "rehearsal lunch" at Ken's grandparent's house afterwards. 

Cute sign they put up at the entrance to make sure everyone knew where to go.

 Perfect sash is perfect!

Out on the balcony where the ceremony was taking place.

We started by going backwards so we could get in the right order for the procession the next day. So stepdad and I in the back.

Then bridesmaids and groomsmen started piling in. Missy is VERY excited.

Then we started the procession again.

Missy is just too excited.

Best man Jason was super late so Nolen had to pretend like she had a partner to walk with, lol.

Then the bride! With planner Keri yelling at us to "SLOW DOWN!" on the side.

Rehearsal successful! The bridal party (minus two groomsmen and the flower girl).

Back down we go for the recessional. 

Werking it. 

My brothers feeling extra frisky with the groomsmen. 

Mom and John on the balcony.

Anthony and Missy on the balcony.

Brothers (bridesmen) on the balcony.

Then we were off to Ken's grandparent's for lunch!

My mom got Ken an awesome German chocolate Packers grooms cake. He's really excited about it, I just caught his face at a bad time. 

And then everyone proceeded to fall in love with Ken's grandpa's bird, Buddy. 

I'm used to Buddy, he has no effect on me anymore. 

Mom admiring Nolen's nails. 

 Not sure what's with that face. 

On our way to bachelorette fun!

The night started with bowling at Red Rock.

Bowling in a dress is hard!

Some shitty Taylor Swift song came on so Nolen and I started "middle school dancing" since middle school is the only place shitty Taylor Swift songs are popular.

I wasn't bowling very well. I was sad.

Missy and those faces again, lmao.

My new favorite picture of Anthony and I. 

Gutterball.

Nolen playing with my butt.

Check out that form!

Everyone! Me, bridesmaids (Nolen, Missy, Chelle and Amanda), bridesmen (Anthony and Sammy) and my mom and stepdad. 

Then we left Red Rock to go to Nolen's for more fun!

Upon arrival, I was immediately decorated with dicks. Dick tiara, dick necklace, dick earrings, dick straw.

The bridesmen got boobie beanies. 

We should have gotten Chelle a boobie beanie also, lol.

My two gorgeous cousins, Chelsea and Taylor! I was so happy Chelsea flew in from Texas!

Missy making faces again, though she looks pissed now, lol.

Third time's a charm.

Brother wanted me to throw the dick straw into his mouth, lmao.

Hi Chelsea!

Game time! Put the kiss on Ken's...crotch? We figured later maybe we were supposed to put them on his face? Oh well. Same got it right on! (These are probably going to be all out of order, I don't remember what order everyone went in and my pictures are all mixed up)

Winner gets to dance!

Until Stu attacks him, lmao.

My something new... (my garter, Nolen made it, it's Green Bay themed!)

My something old... (my mom wrapped lace from her wedding dress around my bouquet)

My something borrowed came the next day: my grandmother gave me my great-grandmother's locket to put in my bouquet as well. And my something blue...

(it's a temporary tattoo that says "Property of Ken Erkinger" that Nolen and Missy put on my ass the next day, lol)

I also got some lingerie.

And Nolen took my shoes and put some teeny pictures of my dad on the bottom of them as well as a poem so he could still "walk me down the aisle" even though he had passed away. 

 I wish I could remember what was so funny...haha.

Then we played Apples to Apples.

Chelle proceeded to make Ken's aunt uncomfortable, lol.

And I made Nolen try to suck sangria out of my huge black dick straw cause she was getting pissed that I was just drinking it out of the cup. It was hard! (No pun intended, lmao)

At this point, I'd had a bit much, lol.

One of the dick balloons deflated. I kept it, lol.

I decided to eat since I'd had a little too much sangria.

Then we played dick ringtoss. Well, I did.

Anyone notice a theme to this bachelorette party? Haha. Again, gotta thank Nolen and Missy for throwing an amazing party. It was so much fun and perfect! Not too crazy and more laid back than anything else. Just friends and sangria and games. Perfection. Love you guys!
