BRIDAL SHOWER AND JOINT BACHELOR/BACHELORETTE PARTIES!

On Saturday, May 22, 2010 my friends threw me a bridal shower and Chad and I had our joint bachelor/bachelorette parties! Of course the day started out with rain - what does not start out with rain lately :) But, it cleared up beautifully by the time the parties started.

We all met at my friend Holly's house which had a perfect layout for this party and a brand new deck for everyone to hang out on! The theme of the day was Black & Bling. Actually the full title was "Sonja's Wedding Fling - Wear Your Best Black & Bling!" And everyone looked great! We were an eye catching group when we went out later!

The shower portion of the day was a wine tasting party. All of our wine was from Wisconsin since Chad and I got engaged in Door County. Our friend Andy was even our wine sommelier!

Suzanne Wynveen did a fabulous job! We had a great time with her, even though the weather was something to be desired! Can you believe it was only 47 degrees this day!






Chad and I tease that this one looks like a country music album cover! I pretend I'm Carrie Underwood :) (If only)...
