The Day Before . . . We get pretty, we rehearse, and we eat!

I came to Oregon about 4 weeks before the wedding for my sister's graduation, and then stayed to finish prepping for the big day. I couldn't believe it when it was actually upon us! Some of my girls came into Eugene on Wednesday & the others arrived on Thursday morning or afternoon and then the festivities were officially underway. We started with some mani/pedi's, then prettied up for rehearsal, then on to the main event: DINNER! Yum!

Gettin' our nails did!! :)



Last make-up trial before the big day!

So excited!! (a little stressed, but mostly excited!)

Little argument about chair set-up . . .

But it all worked out fine!
