3-29-2014 (Bachelorette Party)
4-12-2014 (Wedding)
Nicole and I became friends because we are both besties with Taryn Young (now Goeppner). I have known Taryn since High School and I blogged about her and her fiance back in November when I went to visit them in their new home in Jasper, Indiana. I first met Nicole when Taryn and I started hanging out again at Ball State. Nicole and Taryn were roommates before Taryn and I were roommates post college. So Nicole and I have never lived together and dont know each other extremely well but we share a very special relationship with Taryn. I have spent the past few days trying to dig up some old pics of us from the college days. Here is one Im proud of...
Ahh...Sweet memories. This doozy was taken right after I turned 21. We went to a restaurant and I decided to order a margarita and it tasted AWFUL! I made Nicole assist me in completing the task of drinking it.
Here are some blog worthy bachelorette party pics.
Now fast forward 8 years and LOTS of margaritas later and here we are at Taryns Bachelorette Party. Nicole was the MOH and the head planner/organizer. She takes this position quite seriously and did an awesome job!
We all met at Crowne Plaza Hotel late in the morning. This is when I was somehow served champagne for my breakfast followed by a 99 proof of something or other. Woo Wee! It all went straight to my head. But made for a good time. We went to PF Changs for lunch where I had a margarita which was apparently really strong because the other girls gagged when they tasted it. I couldnt really feel my tongue or taste anything. I told the waiter (who appeared Chinese) that it was a fantastic margarita and that the Chinese made them better than Mexicans and he proceeded to tell me that he was actually Mexican he just worked at a Chinese restaurant. Im still laughing about this.
After PF Changs we spent the rest of the day getting nails done, hanging out at the hotel, and then going to the Spaghetti Factory. After this we went to Howl at the Moon and then to Kilroys. We ended the night around 4 am. I dont think Ive eaten so much in a 24 hour period since college!!!
It was so much fun not only the drinking and the laughing but all the memories that flooded back as we were able to spend time with each other. It was great to be able to reminisce but also make new memories.
A few weeks later we were able to meet up again in preparation for Taryn and Kyle's wedding day. Since we all live so far apart (Taryn in Jasper, Nicole near Valpo and myself in Indy) we had a full weekend in Jasper for the wedding! Nicole and I both arrived Thursday night. Friday we decorated the church and did the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner and then Saturday we had all morning to get ready together and then do pictures. The wedding took place at 3. It was so great to be able to spend so much time with Taryn and Kyle and to be able to help them prepare for their day. Here are some of the wedding pics...
Like Seriously!?! Is this not the most gorgeous bride ever? She should be on a magazine cover!
The whole wedding party!
All of us girls! I love these.
The three of us right before she said, "I DO!"
So now my friend is married off and I probably wont see Nicole for a long while but I did enjoy the new memories that we made (and some I dont even remember ie: the reception). Girls lets plan to meet again soon!
