If I could put time in a bottle : My Wedding Day Part One

The day started out with me in pjs and ended with me feeling like a princess. My wedding day was one of the fastest, longest day of my life, I wish I would just hit rewind and replay. All the stress, all the tears, all the drama, all the fears, just disappeared the moment we started unwinding my hair from my flexrods (yes I did my own hair with help from my MOH Jordan and Wedding Coordinator Tonya, my sister) and with each brush of make up on my face from the talented Danielle (Beauty of All Faces), I knew that this day was no longer a distant dream but it was reality. I was marrying Larry :)

I guess I am getting ahead of myself but lets me start with the beginning of my day which was picking up 144 flowers for my table centers and bringing redbulls and snacks to church for my girls at around 9:30 am.

 

When I got to the church, I saw my MOH already doing stuff to the tables. I can't even begin to say what a rockstar my MOH was the whole day of my wedding. All my girls were incredibly helpful and patience with me.  But the day of my MOH stepped up her game and did stuff I didn't expect her to do at all. It was amazing but more on that later. 

Jordan (MOH) and I started making sure tables were set up right before she headed downstairs to start to get ready for the wedding.

 I and one of my mom's friend attempted to tackle the backdrop. What a freaking hassle!!!!!! They were suppose to tell me how to put it up when I picked it up on Thursday and they never did, so it was a guessing game, luckily we figured it and one of my other bridesmaid Carey came to help but after about half an hour, I was shooed downstairs and told that my make up artist had arrived and I needed to be downstairs.

Danielle (Beauty of All Faces ) my make up artist, was amazing as always, she even up put with my lame nervous jokes I kept saying and with me trying to boss people around while she was doing my make up.

My photographers showed up and took my flowers and the rings to take pictures while Danielle did my make up. When my make up was finished, I realized my hair was still in my flexrods! So Jordan and Danielle helped take them out so Danielle could get a few pictures of my hair. My make up looked AMAZING, I kept making the comment that if Larry didn't marry me, I'd probably marry myself. My eyes had never looked bigger or prettier, I kept staring at myself, haha. After I was done admiring myself, Jordan and I  went on to find my pearl headbands and my sister came down to give my hair a "bump" and attached my veil. hehe. After that it was time for the dress.
My mom just looks at me and says, "How are you going to get the shirt over your hair and make up?"
I look down at my old school MTV t shirt (please make sure you were a button up on your wedding day while you are getting ready just a suggestion.)
Someone suggested that we cut it and after that it was wrap. Jordan got some scissor and we cut the bad boy.  It was my mom that I insisted help me into my dress. After I got my dress on it felt like time just slowed down. I looked freaking awesome! Jordan snapped a few photos, that she promised not to upload until the wedding was over.

Me and the MOH Jordan

We were running behind schedule, so we made sure Larry wasn't in the hall way and rushed me upstairs to take family photos.
During family photos, Jordan was a rockstar! She kept making sure my hair wasn't out place and when it was, would come up and fix it. (Please make sure you have a good MOH like this!) After family photos, I was rushed back downstairs and put in my "bridal room" while Larry was rushed upstairs. During that time, MOH and I just joked around with one of my other bridesmaid since the other two were taking family picutres with Larry (his sister and his cousin). I had family and friends stop by the room, oohing and awing about how pretty I was and asking if I was nervous. Surprisingly I wasn't nervous. Just ready to get hitched! 

Part two, soon to come!!!
