My maid-of-honor Shae and I stayed up all night the night before the wedding doing last-minute stuff. We were silly sleepy, and got about two hours sleep. We made pretty, pretty flowers that could not have been better if we had spent thousands at the florist. I wasn't sleepy the day of the wedding, and it surely must have been adrenaline.
I loved my hair. It took forever, and wasn't what I had originally wanted but it was great. It was big, like Hairspray big. I stumbled across these vintage bobby pins with black bows on them the day before the wedding, and they held back my pin curls. My bridesmaids were really helpful and really sweet. They answered my phone, painted my toenails, put on my makeup, helped me go to the bathroom, put on my bra, and did just about everything that I needed or wanted.
The photographer was intimidated by Janae takin pictures, and kinda gave up. Which I kinda find funny.
When we arrived at the venue, my dad opened the door for me and my mom, and she didn't recognize him! He got teary and told me I was pretty, which made me cry the first time of the day. Everyone ate Taco Bell tacos before the wedding b/c they were all hungry. Raven and Mia chased each other in the hallway until they were both sweaty. Clay got me a wish box that plays a song. We both wrote wishes last night.
He was nervous, I could tell as I was peeking out of the froyer. Mia didn't throw down an flowers, she just ran to her Daddy who was a groomsman. Raven ran out of flowers before she reached the end. My Daddy made me cry again when he gave me away. My handkerchief was in my bra. My hands were shakey, really shakey. Clay kept asking me if I was okay. My feet hurt because I insisted on wearing some really high polka dot heels during the ceremony. Afterwards I wore polka dotted Converse. My Daddy danced with me until we both got tired half way throught he song. My mom laughed at him for wanting a fast song.
Big emotional moments were talking with the pastor and his family that I were at my church when I was a little girl. I loved them so much, and even though I haven't seen them in forever, I think about them all the time. Their sons are like little brothers to me. I still have this gum wrapper in my Bible that the pastor's wife LaDonna wrote me a note on when i was like 8 or 9. She taught me how to study the Bible, and to hide it in my heart. <3
Next one was my Brooke. The photographer was trying to corrall us all and take family pictures when I saw her. I just walked off and found her and cryed and cryed and cryed. I love her so much. Like seriously next to my husband, she is the most imortant person in the world to me and always will be. She kept saying please don't, please don't, please don't cry. But I bought out the ugly cry, and let go. I really love her with all my heart. I'm so glad she was there. It helped make my day.
Afer we left the wedding, Janae took pictures of us downtown, and they have turned ot amazing so far. I don't know what it is about those smelly gross bridges that look so cute in pictures, but they work!
Here are a few wedding pics:
