Let the Wedding Recap Posts Begin...

I decided to start mixing in wedding posts with regular posts.  This way I don't kill you guys with too many at once. :)  I started getting pictures from friends, family, Facebook, etc.   I also have a few from the photographer and my disc with all of the photos is on it's way.  I am beyond excited because he got some amazing shots!

Anywho...let's start with wedding week and getting ready...

Thursday night was mani pedi night for the moms and girls.  We brought in champagne and snacks and took over the salon!  It was a great time...minus the pedicure part.  It was my first pedicure and while I love the results, pedicures will be special occasion only events!  I think I have said this before, but I hate people touching my feet.  I'm a total weirdo!



We were super lucky and got to decorate the venue on Friday afternoon.  I had so much help!  My aunt, uncle, grandparents, mom and dad, sister, and Andrea all came to help out.





Friday night was the rehearsal dinner and we had a great time with our families and friends!  BBQ, gifts, and then an after party at our place with Royals, beer, and wine.   I don't have these pictures from our unofficial photographer yet, but it was a great time and I'll post them when I get them!

Saturday was all day beauty for the girls.  Hair appointments at 9am while the boys hit the golf course! Lots of champagne made the time fly by!  The boys were ready right on time and the girls...well, we were not.  That's okay though.  You can't rush beauty!




It was well worth the day of beauty (and being a little late) because everyone looked amazing!  I'm lucky to have such beautiful and awesome friends!!


Who love to have a great time!

Happy almost Friday!!!

  1. I love that you're mixing in wedding posts and stretching out the memories. Your wedding dress is beautiful! I can't wait to see the professional photographs -- hiring a photographer always ensures you get great photos and that you and your guests can just enjoy the special day.

    1. Thanks! I loved my dress!! I don't think I would have ever thought it is what I would pick (since I am fairly a simple dresser and not at all fashionable), but I fell in love with it when I tried it on!

    1. Thanks! I hope they are enjoying the process. It was a lot more fun that I thought it would be!! The Knot app is a lifesaver. It kept me on task. :)

  4. I'm not big on people touching my feet either, and I have -yet- to have my first pedicure. Everyone tells me they're amazing and relaxing, but ehhh -- I don't know. And your whole wedding party looked absolutely gorgeous. It's so nice to get pampered every now and then :)

    1. I definitely didn't enjoy the pedicure. I just didn't look at what she was doing and kept myself distracted. My feet looked so much better after though!!
