Soon-to-be Mrs. Pennington!

Guess what...I'm BACK! Haven't posted since February and now I need to catch up big time!

Last weekend we hit the road around noon on Thursday and high tailed it down to Rosemary Beach for Ryanne's last fling before the ring! We were very pleased to see the townhouse we had booked was amazing!





Thursday night was Cinco de Mayo so we hit up the Mexican restaurant, which was a 30 second walk from our townhouse. We sipped on drinks (%50 off that night!) and waited for the other girls to get there.

Both Friday and Saturday we spent the day on the beach. We ate lunch both days at Wild Olives, which was a great little market type lunch place. Highlights of the beach time included running into Charles Kelly of Lady Antebellum and getting to see multiple beach weddings on Saturday!

5 out of 8 of us:





Both days looked like this...PERFECT:



Gorgeous beach wedding Saturday night...



Friday night we gave Ryanne a lingerie shower and then headed over to Bud and Alleys for dinner and after dinner drinks. It was so fun!

Cute Bride and Groom cookies with their initials:





One of the more racy items she got!







Cute drink umbrella topiary as a centerpiece!



Lots of gifts!



The whole group at dinner.



The three of us got martinis...oh no!









Saturday night we left the beach a little early to come in and watch the Kentucky Derby (most of the girls were from Kentucky). We all bet on who would win! My bet was for "Comma at the Top" but unfortunately, he did not place. In honor of the royal wedding and derby, we all made "fascinator" headpieces to wear out that night. That was such a cute idea and we all sported them the whole night!

We walked over to La Crema, an adorable fondue and tapas restaurant in downtown Rosemary Beach. I loved it! The fondue was amazing and it was the perfect way to end such a fun weekend!










Looking forward to the Pennington nuptials in Atlanta on June 4th!
