On Friday evening, Russ and I raced out of work and raced down to SD. We wanted to make sure we were there to help with anything Haeli & Malcolm might need. Instead, we made it just in time for dinner! Turns out Anita, Audrey & Jason were there with their helping hands! =) After dinner, we hung out at the groom's house. What is a groom's house...well, Haeli & Malcolm were geniuses and rented a house for the groom, groomsmen and their significant others for the weekend! They rented another house for the bride, BMs and their significant others for the weekend! Super smart! Anyway, we went there to hang out and watch the boys play some games!
On Saturday, Anita, Jason, Audrey, Russ and I went to grab some much needed coffee and breakfast and headed back over to the groom's house for some pizza and more hanging out. Good idea too b/c it was pouring cats and dogs! The highlight of the afternoon was when the groomsmen were trying to throw Malcolm into the pool, but he threw Eric (co-best man) into the pool instead! No pics of that tho. :(
Following the rehearsal, we had to a Chinese food rehearsal dinner, followed by some last single-person clubbing in downtown SD! Malcolm rode the bull there. Haeli smartly opted to remain safe and away from the bull. We had drinks and I helped nurse an underage cousin back to health! Jason helped to corrupt the other underage cousin! As Audrey can attest to, I was the instigator this weekend! ;)
After having some late-night popcorn snacks, we all finally made it to bed, only to wake up 6 hours later to get ready for Haeli & Malcolm's BIG DAY!!! =) We went straight to Peet's Coffee to load up on the caffeine and then got ready!
Here are some of my favorite shots from the day and night:
Here's Henry w/ Connie (they were walking so fast that I had to snap off a pic really quickly!):
Malcolm and his parents:
The ring bearers:
Haeli & her parents (Haeli looked absolutely stunning!):

Grand entrance (check out the beautiful sunset in the background!):
The dessert and candy bar:
The cutest cake topper ever! Haeli took pics w/ the little tomatoes while they traveled to various places around the world! Those pics became the little table number thingys. Awesome idea!
Lucky Table #7 (our table):
Malcolm & Audrey. Do you notice Malcolm's ring!!!
After some time, Haeli changed into the cutest dress ever! And in spite of the stress of planning the wedding, Haeli looked elegant, beautiful and relaxed:
Uuummm...Malcolm can't get away from his little shenanigans, but that's what makes him unique! hehehe. Luckily, Haeli is THE MOST patient person I know (next to Russ and Anita). ;)

Russ and I had a blast! The weekend started off rainy, but ended beautifully, perfectly, and 100% blog-worthy (well, on one of the blogs that Haeli and I blog-stalk, not mine!)!!!
Congratulations Haeli & Malcolm!!! We can't wait for all the little kitties! ;)
