WE ARE MARRIED!!!

Marriage is not a culmination, it is a beginning. A beginning of a life that will grow and change in ways more wonderful than we can imagine. Many years from now when we look back on our life, love and this day, we will remember that flowers, music and food were not what made this day so special. It will be our memories of sharing the beginning of our life as husband and wife with you – our friends and family. Having you there with us made our wedding truly wonderful. Understanding that life holds many momentous commitments, we thank you for sharing in one of our happiest. We invite you to stay in touch with our family. Please add our family website to your favorites list for family photos and updates http://www.bonagofskifamily.blogspot.com/

We will post photos of the wedding on both websites as soon as they are available. Thank you Kili for the photo above, it was my first peek at the wedding.

Bachelorette Party!!

I do not remember the last time I had so much FUN!! Once again..my friends went beyond the call of duty. They are the best bridesmaids and maid of honor EVER. Seriously, I will challenge anyone to this battle. Sure, they call me bridezilla all the time and even kicked me out of my own wedding, insisted on having a say in all decisions but I wouldn't trade them or our experience in the last year for anything! They have made my last year happier beyond my own expectations. Love you guys!

We started the evening at the Silver Cloud Hotel in Seattle. Sounds like cheap hotel, doesn't it? I was so surprised how luxurious it was. The beds were so comfy. Other than a bad bartender (P.S. I don't need your approval to get married) who thought it was to bust my chops it was perfect. The room was decorated with balloons, party favor bags, colored M&M's, liquor bottles, and some unmentionables ;-) We had a few drinks before heading to Pyramid. There was only 5 of us for dinner but we managed to make a lot of noise and draw some attention. We had many people come to our dining room to say hello and ask what was going on. Who would have guessed that 5 girls can make so much noise. Our guests would mingle a little joining in our fun. Of course, a few had to check out the presents too. It was a great time. After a 3 hr dinner we went back to the hotel room for drinks and dessert. I can't post what my cake looked like but I can tell you it made me blush.

We then ventured to a local club called Tiki Bobs. It took awhile to get use to the nightclub scene but before long we were all dancing. I think at one time we danced for 2 hrs straight. It was so much fun!! I had not danced like that in so long. Of course, due to Kili and Sherry we had a few boys try to join our circle of dancing. They did a great job keeping the boys away allowing the girls to dance.

The party started with a bang and ended on a high. Thanks to everyone for coming out and for the great gifts. Thank you to my sister for sharing this experience with me...why didn't we have more of these before? We have some great memories to cherish. Thank you to Janee and Jessica..I mean Sherry-Ann for putting together such a great party. For all the hardwork, planning and expense, I can't thank you enough. I love you guys!
