Chris and Char are married!

The day was so amazing! I cannot begin to put into words how much fun the whole day was and the gratitude we have for all the hard work people put into the day to make it special. Here are a few photos - more as they come in:

OH MY COD!!! (as in Codzilla)

Now it's time to recap the bachelorette weekend. So I knew we were going to Boston for the b-party but that was about it. I'm going to use photos to try to bring you into the weekend and the debauchery it entailed.



This is our group at the train station - bright and early on Saturday morning. We have Kate, Michelle, Valori, me, Julie, Nicole, Shalimar and Shana. Not pictured are Deena and Amanda.

Starting off our train ride was me giving Shana a shoulder massage - I was curious as to how many of these I was going to have to do.



The real fun started when our gracious bartenders Shana and Julie made us all mimosas...now the party was starting.



Now, I'm going to skip ahead but when we got into Boston we met my good friend Amanda who flew up from North Carolina at the hotel and headed out to brunch at a fabulous place call Aquataine. We then went down to Long Wharf and took a ride on Codzilla. It was high energy and great fun for everyone.

We hung out a bit and had some drinks before heading back to the hotel to get ready. Getting ready in bachelorette terms=Champagne funnels.





After showering and heading out to dinner it was on to Jaques Caberet. Where there was a little of this:



And this:



And that is where we start to get fuzzy...I do know that I had a great time and enjoyed four bites of my food when we went to Chinatown at 2:30am. I don't remember the last time that I was out that late and I paid for it the next day.



It was a rough morning and train ride back to Portland. But NOW I can get married!
