Wedding Showers

So I'm a little behind, but I'm just getting around to posting these. I am very fortunate to have such great family and friends who threw me such wonderful bridal showers. There were 5 so these pictures are just a mix of some of them....family, friends, bridal party & even some of the MEN! Thank you all for the wonderful pictures and of course the great showers!

The Koenemann Wedding in Arizona

On October 12th Cory and Sarah were married in Scottsdale, AZ. It was absolutely beautiful. They had the ceremony at the top of a mountain, at Desert Mountain Resort, followed by an awesome ceremony down the mountain! We stayed at Carefree Resorts with everyone, which was a blast! Before you wonder, you will see a teddy bear, who is Rex the Bear, and a cane, who is Ted the Duck! They both attended the wedding as well and traveled all the way from STL! Congrats to you both! We love you!

ILLINOIS VS INDIANA

The weekend of October 18th,
we headed back to U of I for
another amazing football weekend.
Without doubt, Illinois kicked
Indiana's butt 55-14! Go ILLINI!
Of course it was a long weekend
we're still recovering from, but it
was definitely worth it! The tailgating
was a blast as well as our 5th row
seats (thanks Mom & Dad)! It's great
getting to see my friends from college that
I don't get to see too often. It's the best
feeling knowing that my friends are TRUE
friends who can still have a blast....even though
we don't see each other a lot and....of course,
as we grow up! Guess
I'll let the pictures speak for
themselves:)

1 of the 20+ Cardinals Game

Well, when my hubby was out serving his country and helping those in need during the flood, I was beckened to root the Cardinals onto victory. The night started a little slow, but at the end, it was worth every penny spent for the overpriced food and beverages! We are so lucky that we NEVER have to pay for a Cardinals ticket! After 20+ games this year, we would've been broke...literally!

HEATHER & TIM'S WEDDING

On August 8th, 2008 Heather and Tim tied the knot. The wedding ceremony was beautiful. It was performed by REV. Tom Graziano at the Jewel Box in Forest Park. The reception immediately following at Windows ON Washington and was the nicest Windows wedding we've ever attended. We were so honored to be invited and had a fabulous time.

You are the cutest couple ever and we can't wait to hang out with you more in the future! Above are a few pics from the wonderful event!

OUR FAIRYTALE WEDDING

Well, April 12th was the big day! It was perfect! We couldn't have asked to be given a better wedding! My parents provided the fairytale wedding that I've always dreamed of...without any stress! Everyone that we care for was there...and from what we hear and can see....they all had a blast!! We are so happy that the day was UNIQUE, SPECIAL, and DIFFERENT! Thank you to everyone for the compliments on the prereception at a "CHATEAU" as opposed to the typical scene and how you all loved Bellerive Country Club! It means the world to us! I always pictured our day being a certain way, but it was so much more! We are so happy together and are so glad we waited and didn't rush into anything! It has made our relationship much stronger and we have a solid foundation! Plus we had a great time getting to know each other and all of our friends!!! We're still waiting on the professional pictures since we have been slacking!!! There are some here that people have sent us (and we love you for that)! We can't wait to share all the other (3000) with you!!! I'll keep everyone posted on the house situation.....we're so glad we're staying CENTRAL!!!!
