Oh my you guys, I spent the weekend in Half Moon Bay, CA (about 30 minutes west of San Francisco on the coast) for Danielle and Steffen’s wedding weekend! So amazing!
I flew from SeaTac to SFO on Friday morning, then waited for Kate in San Fran at the airport. When her flight got in we waited in a humongo line for our rental car then went on our way to half moon bay. We checked in at our hotel then immediately went to dinner at Half Moon Bay Brewing Company. It was pretty romantic. I had beer (true story, I just typed in I hate Beer – I think my liver is speaking for me right now), she had wine, I guess that means I was the guy on our “date”.
Next we pit stopped at Safeway for some vodka (I LOVE that you can buy alcohol from a grocery store in California! LOVE!!) and some snacks (for later, of course), then went back to our hotel room to wait for everyone else to get in. Not soon after, we got an invite to go over to a house that some of the guys had rented. Side note: Danielle was my sorority sister and Steffen was also in a fraternity at UW – ALSO they have been together since their sophomore year in High School though – crazy, right? Anyway, we went over to the frat boys’ house to play some beer pong (keeping it fratty, of course) and wait for Danielle and Steffen to arrive.
After some fun times with the guys we decided to head back to the hotel room to get some rest so that we would be ready for our 9am rehearsal the next morning.
Rehearsal was super quick and painless.
After rehearsal, Kate and I were STARVING (obviously) so we went to the Garden Deli and Cafe in downtown Half Moon Bay, and OH MY GOSH, I got the MOST amazing sandwich. If you are ever in Half Moon, you’ve GOT to go there:
After our sandwich we went back to the hotel and waited for our other sorority sisters to arrive. Once they did they immediately wanted a nap so Kate, Rachel and I went to Courtney and Carly’s room to hang for a while until it was time to get ready for rehearsal dinner.
We (Kate, Me, Kristina and Courtney) ended up getting to rehearsal dinner a little early and decided to have a glass of champagne at the bar:
Then when it was time to start the dinner we headed outside to where they had the tables set up. Everyone was kind of late due to the fact that the guys were playing a game of golf until 6 minutes before the rehearsal dinner started. WHOOPS!
But they got there and everything was good. Don’t Danielle and Steffen just look amazing?
Of course I made Steffen give me some love too :)
We sat down to an amazing seafood dinner (complete with many, many glasses of wine).
My soul mates (Josh and Courtney – yes, both of them are my soul mates) getting ready to chow down:
After dinner we hung out outside:
And they guys had even set up some golf game where you tried to hit the ball into these floating things in the pond. Needless to say, the girls weren’t very good at it:
Then I took these pictures with Josh (soul mate, who I also walked down the isle with), who can’t keep his eyes open:
Then I was all, HERE, I’ll even SHOW you how to do it:
Whatever, you’re never going to get it…
Now you’re a supermodel and I’m a motherfuckingbear, RAWR!
And then I just kept telling the bartenders to “Fill it up, yeah, all the way to the top, kthx” and we took some more pictures:
Some of them were even nice, like this one of Danielle and I: 
Then we decided that Courtney could be our honorary sorority sister. Obvi we took a crown pic, Zeta love!
After that I figured that maybe it would be fun to take Prom Pics with all of the men in Danielle’s family starting with her grandpa:
Then her brother, Michael, who is RAD by the way:
And then, of course, her dad:
Then her dad was really excited about partying it up, so we took shots together (Eric (the best man), Me, Kate and her dad (who took a shot of wine, because he doesn’t do shots):
And then when I woke up the next morning, this was the last picture that had been taken on my camera and I thought to myself, that was the most fun night I’ve had in long time. I LOVE this.
Then after all my fun last night my stomach started calling to me, and clearly it was time for some continental breakfast (bagel with TWO things of cream cheese – Josh agreed, soul mates – Yogurt, juice and coffee, BOOM) before heading to Danielle’s bridal sweet to get ready for the WEDDING!!! But that’s a story for my next post…
