I had my bachelorette party on the weekend and it was awesome! My sisters had planned the whole day and hadn't told me anything so I didn't know what to expect.
My girlfriend came and picked my up and we went to my mum's house to meet my sisters and one other friend. My sisters got me to change into an outfit and we headed out in the "Meagan's Stagette Mobile". They took me to the Shooting Edge, a shooting range, where we picked out 3 different guns and got to learn how to load them and shoot them. It was a very empowering, scary, fun activity that teaches you how much you have to respect these weapons. It reaffirms that I would never, ever have a gun in my house.
From there we went back to my mum's house for a Shower my sisters had organized. A few more of my girlfriends showed up and we had finger sandwiches (with all the crusts cut off) and drank martinis with penis ice cubes! The funny thing was that not everyone even noticed they were drinking beverages with penis ice cubes!!!
Around 4:30 we had a special guest who, to everyone's surprise was a lady who is from a company called MisBehaven and brings massage oils, lubricants and sex toys! It was a blast...who would have known!
From there we got dressed to go for dinner and the bar. Needless to say there was copious amounts of drinking and we had an absolute blast. Looking back at the pictures...there are some I can't remember taking!! The way a Bachelorette party should end!

41 Days oh my!
Last I wrote I was getting ready to go for another dress fitting. Unfortunately, we had to reschedule as they needed a few more days to complete the alterations. Now I am going this coming Friday and I am very excited!
We met with our Videographer, Josh, and we had a blast. It was a bit awkward at first talking to the video camera but it got easier as the session continued. We felt very professional as we even had a lapel microphone! Josh has a great video camera and he got some very good angles during the shooting. I can't wait to see the final product at our wedding! We have to finalize the pictures of us growing up for him to add to the slideshow but other than that he is ready to film on the wedding day.
We spent an hour and a half with Scott and his wife Kelly, our photographer, in Fishcreek provincial park last Thursday taking our engagement pictures. We had a blast with the two of them. In the hour and a half Scott took over 500 pictures! We had a bit of a sneak preview of them and they look awesome. He is couriering over a CD of all our pictures so hopefully they will arrive soon and we will be able to look at them. We get to pick a couple of them but I am not sure it is going to be easy to pick only two.
My stagette is on Saturday!! I don't have any idea as to what is happening...all I know is that it is going on all day. My sisters are picking me up in the morning and I probably will not be going home. I will fill you in after the fact.
Our craft night is set for next week so we are busy trying to get everything finished before we have the crew come over to help finish our favors and programs.
Will keep you all in the loop as to the upcoming events.

55 days...
Wow! Here we go...the last two months are flying by already. I go for a dress fitting on Friday and I am so excited! This will be the first time I try on my gown with all of the alterations finished. The hem will be done, bodice fit and bustle set. I love the bustle of the dress because the shape the it takes makes it a completely new dress.
David and I are now finishing everything off. My goal is to have (almost) everything done by the end of the month. Then we will only have to seat the guests at our reception and we will be done! Ha...yah right...it's a goal, that's all I can say.
My mum has found a dress and she looks fabulous in it. It is one of those dresses that doesn't look like much when it is on the rack, however, looks like it belongs on the red carpet when it is on.
We have decided to meet our videographer at our old high school on Saturday to do our 'Love Story' shoot. It is the perfect place as it is where our friendship and romance blossomed. This will be shown at our reception and I am very excited about staring in our own movie!
That is really all for now. I will keep everyone posted as we progress with all the events in July.

2 months!!
Can you believe it? Two more months (less a day) until I am officially married! I can't wait. There is still a lot to do, but the time will come when none of that will matter anymore and the day will be upon us. What am I to blog about then? I am going to have to think about that!
Responses have started to trickle in and it is like a little surprise party every time you open one..."who will be coming to our wedding today"? We have to settle on the music for our reception and for our wedding video, finish our programs and favors and finalize flowers. Then we will have to touch base with everyone of our vendors to make sure we are good to go for the day.
One week Friday I get to go for another wedding dress fitting! I am in awe every time I put that gown on! I love it so much I can't even describe it.
In about a week and a half we have a video shoot with our videographer! We get to film our love story which will be included in the video presentation and slide show at our reception. I am really excited to get out and spend some time doing this together. i think it will be really cool and something we will probably never get to do again - star in a video production!
Dave and I also have our official engagement photos with our photographer in a couple of weeks. I am excited to actually get out with Scott and shoot! See what he does for us...and the creativity that stems from us getting outside.
My stagette is coming up too. I have been completely left in the dark with this whole thing. I have zero clue as to what is going on...just that I have to be available from about 9:00 in the morning on...I feel a little nervous about what my sisters have planned.
That's it for now...I promise to fill you all in on every thing that we are doing!
