Wedding Dress Shopping

After Emily got back from her honeymoon, it was time to start thinking about the next nuptials!

We attended a bridal show and were given a discount if we scheduled a session for Ashley to try on gowns at David's Bridal.

Since we are always up for a fun twin night, we set the date and headed in to get our coupon!

We never would have guessed that the ONE dress Ashley picked off the rack to try would be THE ONE!

Once she had it on, it was clear that this dress fit her personality and style perfectly!

The sales lady put her in this sash (perfect wedding colors!) and we were in love!

The back was so lovely with its lacing and drapes, it had romantic winery wedding written all over it!

When she put on the veil, a few tears were shed and the sales lady gave her a bell to ring to signify that she had found her perfect match!

The gown was on clearance and the price was so unbelievable, we had to take it!

She ordered in a perfect new dress, and we were one step closer to happily ever after!

The wonderful experience (and deal of the century) was reveled in over sushi dinner!

Emotional and wonderful twin night!

IrishFest 2013

We headed to Irish fest!

We chose Sunday so that we could get in free with canned goods donation!

The weather was absolutely gorgeous!

Probably too warm for the festive scarves we wanted to rock, but oh well!

We had a few drinks, a few laughs and checked out all the booths.

What a perfect way to take in Irish fest!

Emily's Wedding Weekend

It all started on Friday, August 23rd with the rehearsal!

We all met up at the Indianapolis Museum of Art to practice for the ceremony!

Ashley made this BEAUTIFUL ribbon bouquet from the shower gift ribbons!

It was absolutely perfect!

The happy couple arrived early to drop-off all the last minute items to the on-site coordinators!

Then it was time to practice for the wedding!

After a successful practice round, we headed to Lorenzo's downtown for dinner!

They had a special, private room set up for us with our gifts and register book tree!

The old, new, borrowed and blue charm bracelet was gifted at the dinner!

It was an emotional moment knowing everyone worked so hard to make it!

 The whole wedding party was there to celebrate and dine on Italian fare before the big day!

It was a really great time to sit back and take in what a wonderful time a wedding is for family!

The dinner was wonderful and we all walked back to the hotel to get some rest for the big day!

After spending the night as twins at the Canterbury suite, we awoke to a beautiful morning!

We walked to the circle and got some lattes to fuel the day!

The "bride" latte foam had a heart in it!

What an good sign of more wonderful things to come!

After moving the car and crying to some emotional tunes, we returned to the suite for some pampering!

The makeup/hair stylist came to the room and made us all look gorgeous!

Then the bridal party loaded up the car and headed through the underground entrance to the IMA!

Once we were inside our changing room, we all got dressed and put the final touches on!

The perfect charm bracelet will be a lasting reminder of the love that encircles our family!

The first look was at the Robert Indiana LOVE statue and carried out the theme perfectly!

We had a perfect day to spend enjoying the love of family and matrimony!

Walking down the aisle was such a magical moment!

Wedded kiss!

The rose petal toss was a perfect way for well wishers to send the couple to the reception!

The lovely ladies all together!

Happy twins!

At the end of the night, Ashley and Natalie walked the couple to their waiting vehicle!

It was such a special moment to share!

And then it was off to happily ever after!

Great twin time!

Emily's Bachelorette Day at the Spa

Emily's Bachelorette Spa Party was a relaxing sister day!

We started at Complexions Day Spa in Broad Ripple!

The whole spa was rented just for us and Ashley put out an amazing brunch spread!

Additionally, Ashley had a specialty cup made for each attendant with their name and flip flops!

We were each pampered with a manicure, pedicure, massage and facial!

Emily even had a special "bride" robe!

It was great to relax and get to know one another better!

After the pampering, we headed to Three Sisters Cafe in Broad Ripple for lunch!

Such a perfect spot since Emily had her three sisters by her side!

It as such a beautiful day, and we sat out on the porch for some gourmet eats!

After the wonderful meal, we all said our goodbyes and headed back to our corners of the state!

What a beautiful, peaceful way to prepare for a wedding!

Great twin day!

Shakespeare / Highland Reign / Bachelorette Weekend!

Pre- Wedding Twin Weekend!

We started our weekend by checking into our hotel room at the Hilton Garden Inn!

A beautiful hotel downtown, you know we got a steal of a deal online!

We grabbed up our picnic and headed off to see the Shakespeare on the Canal production!

This year the Heartland Actors Repertory Theater present: The Taming of the Shrew!

A fun topic for a bachelorette themed weekend! Ha!

And you know our favorite artist, Ryan Artzberger, was in great form this evening as Petruchio!

We had perfect weather for our evening stroll back to our hotel!

Of course we had to hit up the hot tub!

The next day, we started out with bagel and lox on the circle!

Then we spent a leisurely afternoon on the canal together, talking about marriage and life and preparing to move forward in so many positive ways.

We took in the beauty of White River.

In the evening, we went for dinner at the Claddaugh....

But what Emily did not know was that she was about to be a part of Highland Reign's music video!

SURPRISE!

#1 FAN time

Emily hanging with the Reign!  Leslie and Robert!

We finished the evening on the town bar hopping for free drinks for the bachelorette!

The beautiful bride-to-be enjoys a free lemon drop from Lorenzo's!

Great twin weekend!
