The Big Day..... The day that I had dreamed about ever since I was a little girl had finally arrived!
I felt like a princess, and was going to marry my prince charming. But like any Princess, there was lots of primping going on before the ball. I woke up very early in the morning, lets face it I could barely sleep because I was so filled with excitement.....Most people are nervous on their wedding day, I was so excited. Every minute seemed like an hour. All I kept thinking about was seeing Brian at the end of the mile long (okay well it seemed a mile long) aisle, waiting to embark on our new chapter of life as husband and wife.
First things first, I made sure my dress and accessories were all ready to go.

Next, Me and My
amazing bridal party went to my salon to get our hair done, and drink mimosas ! It was so nice because the salon was literally under 5 minutes away from our house...
After our time at the salon, we all headed back to the house to do our makeup , get dressed , and get ready to go to the church. I was privileged enough to have the most amazing photographer meet at the house to capture the girls getting ready. Maria Sharron is truly a gem, so talented and detailed. She took pictures of everything. I can honestly say not a detail was left out!
I had an amazing makeup artist Named Brittany come to do my makeup. It was so nice to be treated to a morning of pampering. She made me feel so beautiful !
Next I Wrote Brian a letter . I really wanted to show him how much I loved him, so he could have a lovely hand written letter to always remember our special day.
Next, I decided with the left over lavender and white roses I was going to make a bouquet to present at the statue of Mary at the church (Catholic Tradition).

Finally Time for us Ladies to get dressed and head out! I was so excited and couldn't wait to get all dressed up! I am such a girly girl and loved every part of the process. I was so lucky to have each special bridesmaid / family member there to share in this moment...

Next, I got Dressed. It was quite a production...It was pretty funny too, I must admit. Me and a couple girls putting this large gown on, carefully though . It was especially hilarious when they tightened the corset back.
They did a beautiful job and I am sure they were glad to be done with it. I accessorized with all the icing a girl could want! A beautiful Swarovski hair piece, Long drop earrings and a lovely sparkly bracelet. I finally completed my look with a cathedral length veil.
Now time to go to the Church!
Jenny my Matron of Honor, and her Husband Rob, and Robs' sister Cynthia - a Bridesmaid ( I know its a bit confusing) Were
beyond generous and paid for our Limo bus!!! What a great gift , we had a great time and thanks to them the whole wedding party got to ride in style from the Church, to pictures , to the reception.
