We arrived in Tucson and celebrated Christmas and New Years (and received the seal of approval from the family!) we started gettting ready for the big... couple of days. The rest of our families were due to arrive two days before, along with the maid of honor and so forth, so we had a lot of fun and getting-to-know to do beforehand.
TWO days before:
One of the very cool things that we did with everyone was to go to the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. It's a zoo, natural history museum and botanical garden all in one. Here are a few photos we took there:
Beautiful. I took at least 10 different photos of cactus that day! We were lucky enough to see all of the animals, even though we got there later than we wanted to. My favorite are always the javelinas - no good photos of them, unfortunately.
Everyone got along so well and had a great time.
By the end of 'two days before,' we had people in from England, Scotland, Wales, China, Alaska, California, Texas, and Arizona. We are so blessed (and even more blessed that everyone loved each other!)!
What a super idea for a wedding party. No days before the wedding of stress and angst for you then. No wonder we didn't hear from you. I love the photos.

You forgot the young man from Australia...and I remember it as a 5 day party...the Thursday before through Monday night.
