Our week is here...

Why yes.... Our week is here! We've been waiting for this week for a LONG time. Two years to be exact. OH yeah baby!

When we started planning our wedding, we thought it'd be so cool to have a wedding weekend. We wanted to make sure that everyone that was coming to our wedding had fun and such. But I didn't know what we can do with the people for that long. So, we thought, it'd be cool if we had a welcome dinner, wedding dinner, and an after-wedding brunch.

Different ideas came to us -- luau, dinner cruise, water activities, etc. But we decided with Aloha Mixed Plate since it had great reviews. And we nixed the idea of having brunch the day after. We were disappointed but we had to mind our budget too. But we still wanted to enjoy a luau with the family on Saturday night. So, we invited people and most are willing to go. Awesome.

Then, Mr. JB's friend, Daniel offered to host a BBQ for us on Saturday in lieu of our wedding present. Awesome! We were very excited and humble at the same time. Wow..someone offered to host a party for us. How cool is that.

And because of that, we will now have a real wedding weekend. Here's an email I sent out to my peeps tonight:
