Brit and Joe's wedding weekend

Britni is going to be so happy I'm finally getting to this! It's cold outside, and Ian is off doing his wedding responsibility as best man... i.e. doing the bachelor party thing (don't worry, dinner and an evening of Wii). Which means I'm doing some serious catching up on the blog and Facebooking photos while watching some fun crime scene television. And Britni and Joe's wedding festivities are next in the time line.

The bachelorette party and bridal shower were in August, right after Ian and I got back into town. Quite the whirlwind! But the other bridesmaids were fantastic and helped out so much, that I didn't really have to worry about anything. We started out at Chandra's for dinner and gifts. And I won't divulge the giggles we shared there! After Britni opened all her presents, we headed to della Voce, the new fancy Italian restaurant in town. It was so much fun!

The next afternoon was the bridal shower, complete with 4-pound cake.
