Say Hello to Mrs. James Westlake!

We had a beautiful wedding and an amazing honeymoon! The last 4 weeks have been a dream come true for me. Not only did I get to Marry the man of my dreams but I got to see all of my friends and family together having a great time. It was wonderful. One of my favorite things about the whole thing was that it seemed that everyone I love had a huge hand in it. Brittany and Andrea made the cake and butterfly wings for the flower girls. Cameo made the little tutus for the flower girls. Mom, Chantelle, Brittany and Andrea all helped with the decorations. The centerpieces and bouquets were created by my good friend Annie and her very talented mother. I got to wear my grandmothers wedding dress, had all of my gorgeous sisters as my bridesmaids, and my loving dog was our ring bearer.

I got a big surprise when my co-host for my radio morning show in Anchorage flew down with my boss in Anchorage. You know you are loved when people fly over 4000 miles to be there for your big day.

Nothing too big when wrong just a couple of little things the biggest mess up was completely my fault when I realized 5 min before the ceremony was supposed to start that I had forgotten the wedding certificate at my moms house. We had 5 women, one man and 4 children all trying to get ready in the same house. It was a messy wreck and I just had so much going through my head it completely slipped my mind. My uncle had to speed over to my moms to pick it up because legally the Judge cant start until it is there. So we started about 10 minutes late but now it is just a funny story to tell. It all worked out great.

I am slowly receiving pictures from people that were at the wedding as well as from the photographer. If you took any pictures at the ceremony or reception please email them to me at nicoleashly@hotmail.com or to James at jwestlake77@yahoo.com

Thank you so much to everyone that attended and especially to my loving friends and family that helped make this day the magical experience that it was.

I am almost Married!

So Apparently I am not very good at updating this... But a quick filler on my life as of lately. James and I had a wonderful Valentines Day. He cooked me King Crab, and Flaminyon with steamed Veggies, and a nice bottle of Champagne. Then we played some games (he kicked my butt in UNO) and cuddled on the couch to a movie. I am so excited to marry that man, I can hardly contain it. Speaking of Wedding it is just over a month away! It didn't really hit me until I saw my new business cards from work that say: Nicole "Nikki" Westlake. It was a little weird to see. The wedding plans are coming right along. Invites are out and we are just working on a few more details for the big day. I have lost 25 lbs in preparation for the wedding, and for the honeymoon in the Bahamas. I hope to loose some more before we head down to Arizona.

Work as always is going great. I love my job and the people I work with. As much as I want to move closer to my family someday soon to start my own family, I don't know what I would do without this great supportive team of coworkers that I have hear in Alaska.
