Let's get this Party Started!!

A few updates before we get started.. (1) I found "A" dress. Still not convinced it's "The" dress, but none the less, it's the one were going with!! (2) Matt and I officially finished our VOW classes (Pre-Marital skills based counseling) last night, and are happy to report, we passed with flying colors!! Who Knew! So, for all of you that wondered out there, It's still a Go!! :)

O-Tay! Where to begin..This past weekend, was Matt & I's COUPLES SHOWER!! I thought it turned out FANTASTIC, more than I could have ever hoped for! Great turn out, Great food, Great Friends, Great PRESENTS!! :) Thanks to all my hostesses that made it such a huge, wonderful, memorable success! Now, it's time to bring on the Pictures!!

Pre-Party Planning!I'm posting this next pic, because it represents me opening up my FIRST official wedding gift. Lindsey Hughes sent it, b/c she wasn't able to make it to the shower, and of course I just had to take a pic! Thanks Linds!! :)

Our Couples shower was Luau themed, and held at Cody & Mel's house. We had fajitas and rice and beans from Papaciatas, Casey made homemade sopapilla cheesecake (which were fantastic by the way, and got RAVE reviews) and to top it off, we even had a margarita machine! Here's a pic of Matt & I with our hostesses with the mostesess!! :)

Andy & Casey Ferguson, Aaron & Amanda Ferguson, Philip & Ashley Green, Matt & Candy (Bobo-to-be), Seane & Ginger Richardson, Jered & Holly Johnston, Cody & Melanie Ferguson

..and one with just the girls! :)

(I promise my matron-of-honor Holly, was happy to be there, and is happy were getting married! She unfortunately got incredibly sick, and had to leave right after this. I was VERY sad she missed out on the shower, and all her hard work putting it together, but was thankful she got herself better, by taking it easy!)

Since of course, this was a "couples shower" it's only fitting that I show pics of some of the couples..so here goes!
