So long time coming... but here are my wedding posts! There will be many since there are around 820 pictures, so bare with me.
The morning of June 7, 2008 the girls and I woke up at 5am to start getting ready! Yeah REALLY early! We reserved a meeting room and got our makeup and hair done in the same room. Coffee and bagels were brought in so we were happy campers!
Deborah did our make up! She is AMAZING! I got her name from my friend Brittany and Courtney because she did their weddings. I was so happy that I got to have all the girls get their makeup done that day.
Our hair stylist Sam came in with his assistant and went to work. We were all rotating in and out. It took a total of 7 hours to complete all 10 of the bridesmaids, me and my mom.
Later in the morning my cousin Kelly brought my little Flower Girl to the room to get ready. Morgan was adorable! She looked absolutely perfect in her "pretty pink dress" that Maria made for her. She went up to everyone and introduced herself as the flower girl. She was so excited and so professional (for a 4 year old). I could not have chosen a cuter little girl! She carried the most precious bunch of flowers. It was a ball of pink roses with seashells through out them hung from a ribbon.
My Bridesmaids... what can I say!! They are the most beautiful group of women inside and out. Each and every one of them are so dear to my heart. It was so much fun to get ready with them and socialize before the ceremony. It really calmed my nerves.
Closer to the time we were suppose to leave the flowers arrived. Bobbe (my florist) did an breathtaking arrangement for myself and all the girls. My bouquet was wrapped in a handkerchief handmade by my great grandmother. My mom used it in her wedding. It was my something old and something borrowed. Mark's mother made and beautiful ring bearer pillow for Logan to carry. It had all my favorite colors.
Time to get into the dress! Let's just say it barely fit! I knew I shouldn't have had so many bagels!
Just before we went downstairs to get into the limo Dana (our photographer) took some last minuet photos... I'm surprised they turned out so well considering we were late and in a rush to get to the church
So I had already been up for 8 hours, and my day hadn't even started yet. More posts to come on capturing out wedding day.
