WEDDING: Da dress

Wedding log... March 9, 2003

I ordered my dress from Mamo Howell at the Ward Warehouse in Honolulu. It's a classic muumuu with a lei straps and a little ruffled train. It even has a Hawai'ian pattern in white on white. The dress will go well with the slippers I plan to wear!

WEDDING: Da bridal shower

Wedding log... June 29, 2003

My good friend Peggi held a couple bridal shower for Aaron and I at her house. It was catered by my co-worker Michael. It was a very lovely event. My allergies was acting up so I wasn't feeling so hot.

WEDDING: Da bachelorette party

Wedding log... July 5, 2003

Jen Vido planned a night out in Cleveland with the girls. I tried getting into the silly little rituals like selling lifesavers and lollipops for $$$ but couldn't. We even braved our way to a male strippers show. We danced the night away then spent part of the night hanging out in the hotel.


Thanks Jen, Jessica, Tasha and Wendy!
