Who let the dogs out?

Although I don't think we will able to incorporate our little ham... ...into our wedding festivities I would still like to get a photo with her while all dressed up.

Showering Us...

My mom and sister recently threw us a fabulous couple's shower. It was a ton of fun and it was really great getting to see everyone (some of who we hadn't seen in almost a year). I could go on and on about this AH-MAZING event but I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

The awesome spread:

And our lovely guests:

The event was pretty low key which we requested. The theme was girls in pearls and guys in ties. We ended up playing a few games which went suprisingly better than we expected including wedding BINGO. We ate a ton of scrumpcious food and opening a never-ending pile of gifts. The whole day went by way too fast and we had to say good-bye too soon.

My man (the star of the show and one of our ADORABLE ring bearers) found the whole event very interesting....

Thank you so much everyone for such an amazing time! We can't wait to use all of our new gifts and more importantly were so happy to celebrate with you all.

Love,
Brooke and Ryan

Holy Moly!

Folks, can you believe it? We officially have

until the wedding day. WOW!!
