KC Fest 2007

About 4 days after I got home from Israel, I left for San Fransisco to take part in KC Fest 2007. That is, the week of KC's wedding. It all started Monday night with the bachelorette party at the bocce ball place. It was quite fun. It's almost like bowling, but not really. I think my team won every time... but I'm not bragging or anything :)

Tuesday night KC had a bridal shower..."the one with all the grown ups" as I like to call it. It was fun - KC got a TON of gifts, most of them being red.

Wednesday KC went to the temple for her endowments. I love going to other temples and seeing how differently beautiful they are. Then we ate at an Italian place that had below par service. I didn't get my food until the entire table had already finished eating. Apparently they forgot to put my order in. Oh well.

Thursday Spencer flew in. We also had the bridesmaids go out for lunch and get our nails done. That night Kim and Dan took Spencer and I around San Fransisco. He'd never been before, so we just hit some of the hot spots. Aka the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, Pier 39, Ghiredelli Square, and Lombard Street. I think my favorite part was the hot brownie sundae. yummmm. The only downfall was the cold weather. Who would have thought it'd be so cold in Cali?

Friday Spencer and I went to the matinee of The Borne Ultimatum. It was SO good!! Friday was the ring ceremony rehearsal and bbq. Somehow us bridesmaids got talked into singing at the bbq. We changed the words to "Chapel of Love" and made them fitting to KC and Ashton. The night was actually entertaining as other people had their own performances. The food was delicious, the company was fun, so I can't complain.

Saturday was the big day. The girls woke up super early to get our hair and makeup done at KC's house. Then we headed to the temple for the ceremony. It went really well. A little long, but KC and Ashton seemed to be very happy. I love going to weddings to not only enjoy seeing others so happy, but also to remember mine and Spencer's. After the ceremony we took pictures then went to the Wise's for more pictures. The ring ceremony started at 5:00 and was very nice. The weather was perfect. My feet hurt for most of it, and I wanted to bust out laughing about 4 times, but other than that it was very nice. Have I mentioned that the dresses and shoes we wore are so cute and I LOVE them?? Well I do.

After the ceremony the party started. They hireed a band named Pure Ecstasy. No matter how much money they paid for them, I think they were worth every cent. They were so entertaining!! KC chose a great playlist for them and the dance floor was packed the whole night. Spencer put on a little show in the circle during one of the songs. It was great. The next morning I, along with Kim and Annie felt like we had a hangover. I'm wondering if the punch was spiked or if we really did party that hard.

I am so happy that I was able to be there for KC Fest '07!! I loved seeing all my BYU friends and acting as if no time had passed since we were freshmen. I loved that Spencer could get to know them, and vice versa. I'm so happy that KC and Ashton are married! KC was a STUNNING bride. Absolutely beautiful. I am so happy for them, I know they will enjoy all the benefits of married life. I think b/c I took so many pictures in Israel I didn't really feel like taking a lot of pictures this week. SO, for those of you who read this and took pictures, if you could, email me some pictures to stace002@gmail.com. Thanks!!

KC - I LOVE YOU and am so happy that you are now Mrs. Grewal!

I am jealous that you got to go to San Fransisco! It is my favorite city ever! I went through the Oakland Temple for my endowments. Everyone looked so cute!
