One Last Fling Before the Ring

As if celebrating our first wedding anniversary wasn't enough excitement for one weekend, I also had the privilege of helping one of my very best friends from college celebrate her last weekend as a single lady! That's right, Miss. Katie Nelson and Lee are FINALLY tying the knot this upcoming weekend! Not only do I get to witness these two people who love each other so incredibly much commit to spending the rest of their lives together, I get to stand next to them as they do so and for that, I am so grateful.

We had a fabulous Saturday celebrating Katie's "last fling before the ring"! We started our day with a trip to Lake Geneva. I had never visited Lake Geneva before but you can be sure that I will be going back and taking Dave with me - it's a beautiful, quaint city with a gorgeous lake, breathtaking views of the multi-million dollar mansions, cute shops, great food, and fun boat rides. The bridal party (plus Katie's wonderful mom) took an hour-long boat ride around the lake, learning about the gorgeous mansions. More like, planning how we would make enough money to someday buy one of those beautiful mansions (yeah.right.). We shared a delicious lunch and enjoyed some fabulous shopping! It was a perfect start the Bachelorette party. Later in the evening, after we got all gussied up, we joined our fellow Pi Phi sisters for a night of celebrating! We had a wonderful Italian dinner at Buca di Beppo's - we even had our own little table in the kitchen. Yes, the kitchen. While it was loud at times, it was a fun atmosphere and it was actually kinda nice to be removed from the rest of the restaurant. We then headed to a fabulous wine and chocolate bar on Milwaukee street called Indulge. From there, we set Katie free with the Pi Phis for the wild and fun part of the night and judging from how Katie was feeling the next day, it was certainly wild and fun :)











Katie and Lee - we are soooooo excited for your wedding this weekend! We can't believe the countdown is at just three days now! We look forward to sharing your special day with you both.
