on and I travelled to the Chicago area to partake in all the wedding happenings. I flew in on Tuesday, the 18th, allowing me to spend some extra time with the bride and some friends. Wednesday afternoon was spent with a few of the coolest people on earth! I had lunch with Emma, Mollie, Maddie and Nelly! The amazing thing is the I have know these three girls since the day they were born...I was Emma's age (13) when she was born...crazy! Wednesday evening was all about the bride! We had a shower to deck her out with beautiful outfits?!? You can figure that out....It was a lot of fun seeing all the bridesmaids and friends together for laughing, food, gift opening and even a game :) 
After the shower, all the girls took Allysha out for a few drinks with more laughing and catching up. It was a fun time!
On Thursday, 
Brandon arrived and cooked a wonderful dinner f
or all the girls, Mom, Dad and a few groomsmen...who happened to sneak in...it was a fun and wild night! Brandon made steak fajitas and red rice while I made guacamole, a veggie salad and sangia. Dad added to the feast with some delicious (with a bit of kick) margaritas! As you can tell by the pictures everyone was having a good time! 
Friday was the rehearsal dinner and the food was super yummy! It was neat to see the whole wedding party together along with the Schuster and McGillia
rd families. I included a couple favorites of mine from the evening :) The wedding was on Saturday...a beautiful weather, beautiful bride and a beautiful new family! It was so great to celebrate Allysha and Andy's new life together. We can't wait to go visit them in St. Louis...we have some food places already picked out! Sunday after the wedding, we got together with Garth and Mary. It was great to spend a bit of time with them walking in downtown Naperville. They are coming to visit soon and we are so excited!WOW...this was a bit long but I hope you enjoyed a glimpse into our past couple weeks :)
