Pretty Ladies

I woke up bright and early on the morning of the wedding and felt so wonderful and fully rested (thanks to my BM's who kicked me out of the reception site at 8:30 Friday night, sent me to my sister's, and made sure I took melatonin)!

I sat on the couch, drank a few cups of coffee, and cuddled with my precious 3-week old nephew. Oh, and I can't forget that I ate pancakes, eggs, and sausage! I highly reccommend a BIG breakfast! What a perfect way to start one of the biggest days of my life. I really like how I just woke up feeling calm and ready.

Here is my newborn nephew. I may be biased (unlikely). But I happen to think he is the most adorable little guy ever! I'm in love with his chunky cheeks and those precious little lips!



Then I showered and headed off to meet my ladies at the salon! I had such a good time at the salon. My appointment was last. So I was able to just chill out and visit with my ladies (mom, grandma, sister/MOH, BM's, and Jr. MB).

Salon Saavy. I love this place.


Apparently I was excited about something. Could it be the fact that I finally felt like a bride?! It's a possibility :)


This is my grandma. She is so special to me! And I am so glad she decided to come get her hair done with us!


Not exactly sure what was going on in this picture. But I like this shot of my veil. (Word of advice for future brides who are wearing fingertip-length veils: wait until the last possible moment to put on your veil. I had that thing on for hours, and it was a pain in the booty! It's just the right length that it gets caught on everything. Regardless of the annoyance, I LOVED my veil).

After our hair was all done and we were beautified, everyone went their separate ways until it was time to meet for makeup and getting dressed. I headed back to my sister's (where I was staying the week of the wedding), ate more carbs than I care to admit to, and soaked in the fact that I was HOURS away from my wedding. I was quite surprised at how calm and easy the day was. Up until the time for pictures, it was just another day (minus the hair-do and veil I rocked all day).

Here are a few photos of us girls getting all beautified!

Practicing The Wedding. aka: Rehearsal

Getting to the wedding rehearsal was slightly hectic and stressful. A (major) mishap occured an hour before the rehearsal. Thank goodness for my amazing BM's, who made me leave to go get ready for rehearsal, and solved the problem for me! (I will go into full detail about all the mishaps at the very of all wedding recaps).

We all managed to arrive on time. And the rehearsal couldn't have gone more smoothly (for the sake of my sanity - this was a VERY good thing). Our pastor was incredible. He did an amazing job of bringing everyone together for our special occaison! Now here are some pictures!

Jr. BM, Ring Bearer, and Flower Girl. They did such a good job!


My dad walking me down the aisle. He was walking so fast! I had to tell him not to be so happy to give me away! :) Little did I know, the next day we would be crying so hard we barely made it down the aisle.


My daddy giving me away. I love this picture....just the look on all of our faces. I'm the baby of 3 girls - and have always been a true daddy's girl.


Standing by our unity sand and explaining the ceremony and what it meant to my daughter. This was so special to me. I get teary-eyed just thinking of it.


Giving my honey some love before heading to rehearsal dinner!



After a year and 2 weeks of prepping and planning...I don't think it all TRULY hit me until the rehearsal. I was overcome with so many emotions! Overall, I was truly happy and felt at such peace! I could barely wait for another 24 hours until I became Mrs. B!

Up next - - our rehearsal dinner. Which was so relaxing and incredible!
