the weekend started off with a shower for malea, where she received her family's official bride hat. somehow her uncles and male cousins basically throw money at her when she's wearing that hat. i think i need a hat like that...:)

jessie was in charge of adding the ribbon to the bouquet. how colorful!

and then malea added it to her amazing outfit.

malea's cute niece, callie and her mom natalie.

we had a blast at the western themed rehearsal dinner! roommates reunited! \

another great family tradition is this amazing picture of a mama dog tied to a dock as her litter drowns...amazingly awful is what i meant.

and for my sanity, you'll see a new post for the pictures from the wedding day!
