Recap and Pics!! (long)

So I've been semi-back all week since we aren't going on our honeymoon for a few months, but hadn't had time to post and was waiting to get the pro-pic sneak peek that my photog was sending us so here goes

Family started coming in Wednesday for the wedding and things were good. Then Thursday night I get a call from my friend who was to be my co-MOH along with my little sister that she is stuck overseas where she was for a business trip because all of her ID had been stolen.  The embassy was working to get her docs but there was a chance she may not make it. I was a little bummed but I was still ok.

Friday
Running around in a million directions we had to go get our marriage license because the clerks office we went to earlier in the week was closed for renovations (which they had nowhere on the website)  Then take an aunt to get a rental car, pick up a cousin/bridesmaid at airport.  Make it to my waxing appointment, pick up few last minute items and go get nails done to make it to rehearsal. So yeah I was 30 minutes late to the rehearsal but everything still went fine. Rehearsal dinner was at Bahama Breeze and everyone loved it and had a great time.

Saturday
So me and my bridesmaids who stayed with me at hotel didn't go to bed till 2:30 and were up at 6:45 to go to salon to get our hair done.  We grabbed breakfast and started getting pretty. After we went back to the hotel to wait for makeup and the photographer and video guy to get there. We finished getting makeup done got dressed and they started heading to the church for pictures and I waited for one of the groomsmen to come get me in the rented car we had.  
 
I got to the church and the bridesmaids told me that DH had been pacing and seemed a little nervous.  The ceremony started on time and was great, the handbell choir and soloist were great.  My pastor made me and my sister cry and had everyone laughing also.  After we took pictures there at the church and then went to a park downtown near our reception venue and took some more pictures.  The reception was great everything looked fantastic and the food was great. We did our entrance and first dance and it was fantastic. My cake looked better than I thought was possible love my baker. DH and his frat brothers sang to me and then stepped and everyone loved it.  The dance floor was packed when we started dancing until they turned the lights back on.  After we went and watched the fight and then came back and relaxed and enjoyed being married.

In all our wedding was everything we both wanted.  Our friends and family all had tons of fun and said they enjoyed themselves and that it was one of the best weddings they had been to in a while.

Here are a few pictures and if we are friends on FB there are tons there
