Friday had arrived and we had big plans. Since our bridal party is from many different placed, 4 states to be precise, we decided to have just fun time together on Friday with everyone so they could all meet and get to know each other a little bit.
Kevin and I started the day by ordering Togo's for Saturday lunch before the wedding, and then headed down to Irvine to Z Pizza. We got there early and then took over the majority of the seating for our large group of about 12 people. The staff was super nice and accommodating. We had a hard time picking the pizzas to order, since there were so many delicious combinations. Ultimately we settled on a hawaiian pizza, one that had tomato and basil and another one with artichokes and mushrooms and such.
All of our wonderful friends and family found the restaurant and we promptly devoured to pizza. It was so delicious, and it was so wonderful to have everyone together. After a lovely, casual and totally fun lunch we headed to Boomer's for mini golf fun times. We traveled there in a bunch of cars but maintained one single file line the entire way.
Once we arrived in the parking lot at Boomer's, we gathered everyone around and gave out the groomsmen and bridesmaid gifts. The girls received monogrammed bags, with chocolate and necessary things for the wedding, along with a lego heart necklace and a unique black and white bracelet. They all seemed to love them which made me so happy.

The boys gifts were wrapped in trash bags, and when they opened the bags they found two Nerf Vortex guns in them. They wasted no time opening the boxes and began shooting at each other. The little bright green disks ended up all over the parking lot. It was great fun to see them all enjoying the gifts.

After tons of nerf gun fighting we cleaned up the parking lot and headed into Boomer's. Kevin paid for mini golf for everyone along with a few unlimited video game cards. We mini golfed altogether, which takes a while with more than ten people, but it was tons of fun. We free styled the majority of the way, with multiple people hitting balls at the same time, so there was the risk or two ball collided. The group had a number of hole in ones in addition to tons of fun.
Mini Golf Fun Times.
When the first round of mini golf was done, all of the girls except for me, decided to do a second round of mini golf. I headed inside with the boys to start the arcade time. After hours of fun in the arcade, we had racked up about 500 tickets. The tickets didn't get much in the end, some goo, a yo yo, and an assortment of candy.

We headed back to the hotel to prepare for dinner, except we hadn't totally planned for traffic. The drive down to Irvine was so easy and traffic free, but driving back up the 405 during rush hour was not the most practical idea. Thankfully we all made it back to the hotel in time so that people could check in. We met at our suite before beginning the walk to Bubba Gump's for dinner.

After such a fun day, we still had our rehearsal dinner to go to. We could only hope that the excessive amount of fun would continue into the evening :-)
