I must say, I really liked the way that Rebecca posted pics of her wedding in installments. It is really hard to post them all, and it can be very overwhelming. So I'm gonna follow her lead. But I must warn you....I have a LOT of photos. Esp including the honeymoon. So you might get a little tired of the never ending wedding narration. However, it only happens once a life time, so I'm going to stretch it out as long as possible. Esp since it was so much fun! So here we go! Let the photos begin.
I'm gonna start with the photographers pics. And we'll start with how the day started.
I got up around 7ish to have breakfast. Esther was coming over at 8:00 to pray. I was getting pretty nervous. Esther came and we prayed, and I calmed down a bit. We finished in time for Andrea to come over and pick me up to take me to the salon to get my hair done. And so the saga began.
At the salon, we were greeted by the salon dog. They told me her name, but I forget now. Cute do huh?
My stylist Megan got started, and you can see how in to it she is. She really worked hard to make it perfect.
My cousins also stopped by to watch and see how I was doing. I was very well taken care of.
Here's Andrea after her hair got done, still waiting for me to finish up.
Here's a close up of the finished product, hair clip and all. You'll see a full shot once the dress is on later.
Once we were all done with hair, we headed out, and back to my place.
At my place, the rest of the bridesmaids came over to do their hair and make up. Esther's fiance,Timothy, was kind enough to make sure we were all fed by bringing Subway. We needed our sustenance!
Then my cousin Kristen worked on my make up. We went over many strategies for how we would touch up my make up when I cried, cause I knew I would. But she assured me should be right there.
While we were in the bathroom doing make up, everyone else set up their own make up and or hair stations all over the house. It was fun! Here we all are before heading over to the church. Next up...pre-wedding photos at the church.
Lacing...
Lacing takes a long time...
But has a nice effect...
And jewelry...
Next up...walking down the aisle.
The parking spot reserved for the get-away car.
The gardenia & ocean breeze candels were placed in the windows.
Communion was ready to be taken.
Guestbook was waiting for its first visitors.
The flowers were ready to be carried.
And my dress was ready to be worn...
