The night before the wedding was certainly a fun one. I hope I never forget it—my girls and I had such a fun time hanging out together and bonding. We had headed back to Cache Creek Casino and Resort while Mr. Pomegranate drove back to Sacramento to take care of a few things and wait around for Groomsman Peter to arrive at the airport. Some of the ladies had not yet seen my wedding dress and so after changing into some flips flops, we went down to Mamita Pom and Reverend Pom’s hotel room to check it out. Then we decided to go check out the hotel’s Club 88.

Cache Creek Casino
Club 88 has a nice large dance floor and lofted seating in the back. We tried out many different seating arrangements before hitting the floor, as it was mostly empty.

There was an awesome Top 40 group on stage, so of course after a beer or two we decided to get out on the dance floor. It was pretty dead for a Friday night - but we were out in the middle of nowhere and the casino wasn’t really the clubbing type of hotel—so we had the floor to ourselves. I seriously wish we had taken a video for you all—so you could see the gyrating hips of the male singer on stage. Hilarious!

Once we had our fill of dancing, we headed back to the hotel room to get some rest, but Groomsman Peter and Mr. Pomegranate had returned from the airport and had some problems checking into their room, so we didn’t get far. I ran back down to the front desk (my fourth time that day) to resolve the check-in issue (apparently having three rooms under one name was confusing for them) and got the boys their room key.

The excitement for all of us was too much - I don’t think I actually rested my head on the pillow until midnight and even then, I wasn’t able to fall asleep until about 2 AM. I woke up at 6 AM with a terrible stomachache—probably due to stress. I was worried about the rain. It was pouring outside. I hadn’t planned on waking up until about 8 AM so I tossed and turned until my alarm went off.

MOH insisted on taking photos at every instance of the day - including me in a towel before I hopped in the tub.

This is what I changed into - a white sweat suit I had purchased on clearance at Target for $25 just that week. So comfy!

I immediately went to draw a bath, hoping to ease the stress, and started fielding phone calls from vendors and family members. This was the quietest part of my day - the makeup and hair pros were not scheduled to arrive until about 11 AM. Blonde Bridesmaid arrived shortly before the chaos to supply us with much needed champagne and orange juice. Mmmmm mimosas!
