Lizzy and I woke up bright and early to begin our day. We got all ready to go, and Lizzy, Elisa, and I headed off to get my hair and make-up done at a salon (hurray for friends that give that as a wedding gift!). All went well (other than the fact it took about an hour longer than it was supposed to), and my hair was just how I wanted it. Half up...curls...sparkly rhinestones...and my veil. My good friend and wonderful "personal assistant," Megan, came to see how my veil was put in. We then zipped off to church where I hopped into my dress. Then I headed upstairs into the sanctuary to see Ryan for the first time that day.
I was excited and a tinsy bit nervous as I walked up the aisle to greet my groom who had his back to the doors. I tapped him on the shoulder, he turned, and we saw each other for the first time that day. :)
We talked for a minute or two, and then we headed outside to pile into the church bus with the rest of the bridal party. Then off to do pictures at a park near the river. We took a whole bunch of pictures...some really nice ones, and some funny, silly ones. I mean how boring would it be to have all "nice" pictures...or maybe I just am around kids too much, "You can do a silly one after you do a nice, serious one." Don't get me wrong, I love the classic, nice pictures; they are priceless and precious. But the funny, silly ones, make for some fun memories, smiles, and laughs. So the moral of the story is...do both! ;) (I will put some of these pictures up later.)
We drove back to church, where we took family pictures. Then everyone got some food and relaxed for a bit before it was time for the wedding to start. It was fun to "bump" into a few people before the actual ceremony began.
