Yasss!  Thank you Lord!  Everything went GREAT!! I couldn't have asked for a better day you guys!  Here goes....

Wednesday: Left work early so I could tie up some loose ends (didn't go back to work until yesterday)..can't really remember what I did that day..Oh yeah. I got my programs printed and picked up my cousin (MOH) and we went to get our nails done.  Not too much to do that day.  Hubby took 2 of the GM to try on tuxes just in case anything was wrong

Thursday:  Hayle!  I can't remember much of nothing! LOL!  One of our GM came in from Maryland and he is a dayum clown!  He came by the house for a while and him and hubby went to BW3 and was there dayum near all night! I did my FG's hair that night (yes, it stayed fresh until saturday!)  I finished my escort cards and printed those.  My cousin and I watched "Just Wright" and fell asleep on the couches (I was tired, chile!)

Friday:  It gets a little tricky.....Woke up and hit the ground running.  I took my decor up to my reception venue, gave then a few directions and it was off to pick up my cousin so we could go to Michaels for some more candles and I needed garters!!!  We got everything we needed! BAM!  Back to the venue to drop the candles off.  We did a little more running around to kill time because my boo, Tash (footballwife) was coming thru so we could have lunch!  She called me to let me know that she had made it to town so I let her know to meet me at a local eatery.  She is the cutest thing in person and I had no idea she was a "Tall" LOL! Love you, Tash!!  She got to meet my mom who came as well and we laughed and had a great time!  Once we got done there, it was time to get to the church for rehearsal...all was going well..UNTIL...we realized that one of my BM's FI was a little "tipsy" !!!  He was doing the most and was bout to piss Hubby off!!!  He pissed me off too because he was blurting out stuff and just being obnoxious!  It was annoying!  So yall know me, being the nice southern belle I am...I had to let HER have it!  First off, it was no reason for him to be there cause he ain't in the WP!  Second, he should know better!  Ain't nobody got time fa DAT!  Anywho, we finish rehearsal and get off to the dinner, it was great!  We had drinks and food flowing everywhere.  Our DJ (who is one of hubby's bff's) showed up and brought another one of their classmates which was cool.  Hubby was overjoyed!  He had his entire crew there!  After that, we said our goodbyes for the night (the boys went to my brothers house to cut loose! ugh!).  I checked into hotel and did my daughters hair.  We were exhausted!! I showered, prayed, put in my earplugs (cause my cousin snores) and was outta there!

Saturday!!!   I woke up around 730ish...I tried to go back to sleep but couldn't (hairsylist wasn't due until 930).  I sat up and prayed for covering, prosperity, love and a sound mind and body!  My BM showed up about 845ish with breakfast and MIMOSA'S!! YES! LOL!  I ate and sipped!  By that time my hairstylist (who is a dear friend as well) arrived, she grabbed her mimosa and We laughed, talked and laughed some more.  She got those girls done in no time!  My MUA then showed up around 1030 and it was great!  My FG and daugh were running about (room was huge) and having a great time!  Photog showed up at 1:30 on the nose for getting ready photos... I was getting beautified and we looked up and it was 2p!  I started to get anxious then.. My girls were packing up our stuff because we were getting into our dresses at the church and planned to leave the hotel at 230is headed to the church (didn't happen, more like 245!)  In the midst of packing up, they were like, "Oh, there's the groom! He look good girl!" (He and GM were in the room directly below us! getting ready)  I started to get up and they were like, "NOOOO!! You can't see him now!" LOL!  I was ready to see my boo!  We pack up and head out the door only to remember that we left the dang roses for our "red rose ceremony" in the hotel fridge! GAH!  I call my coordinator and she is all calm like, "Don't worry, we got it under control."  She had the florist run to kroger to get some!  Problem solved, they were beautiful!  We make it to the church to get dressed and it was showtime!  Everyone of my girls looked beautiful!  I had to stand outside in the humidity for what seemed like an eternity!!  I get into the foyer and my little FG was NOT having it!  She didn't want to walk down the aisle!  She had been practicing all day!  I think her seeing all those folks made her nervous.  She was hanging on to my dress saying, "No, tee tee..I don't wanna go!"  I started to get anxiety then!!! Her mom (one of my BM) came to walk her and it was fine.  It was my time and the doors opened and I saw my hubby standing there and my dad and I were off...ceremony went by much faster than I thought.  Hubby's vows made me well up but I made it thru without crying! LOL!  We get all packed up again and head to venue for reception.  Hubby was pissed cause the bar tab was dented in less than 2hrs!! He was beyond heated!! He calmed down and we made our entrance!  It was awesome yall!  Just to see all of our friends and family supporting us was beyond words!  I then made my way to thy council table (sultry, louisianalove and footballwife and....Big Wil! LOL!)  Bo has the prettiest coco skin and Case is super fabulous with her cute self!!  I had a great time!!  I appreciate them for the next 3 lifetimes for coming and sharing my day!  Oh yeah...I ate!  annnnd DRANK! LOL!  So glad to be a MRS!!!!!!

Edit: I will post a pic later!

    Oh i been waiting for this! I got a couple pics... yes, i'm a tall but so is MRSd only for being a tall she is the smallest thing out there, i swear, she's like 6 ft tall and a size -4. We met up for lunch and her family is really nice! after lunch i made my way over to Shreveport to meet up with @louisianalove and Bigdub. We come back saturday, i had to redo my hair (it was kind of humid), and we haul butt to the church. The ceremony was BEAUTIFUL. MRd's vows were amazingly heartfelt. he fell out and it was a wrap for me. I started crying. MRSd was too beautiful for words. the dress, makeup, hair, accessories. everything was ON POINT. we made our way to the venue- and i'm telling you, when i walked in there, I was JEALOUS. she had the uplighting, her and mr's name in lights on the dance floor, them tablecloths she was talking about, and the food was delicious. Very very elegant. Her 2 friends had sat with the council at the table and they both really nice. Especially her friend Sophia. I'll shut up and add some pics now! p.s. sorry missusD! I had 3 drinks, I went to go get sultry some "simple syrup" and they made her some stuff with grenadine (i don't think he spoke much english). shoot. i'll come back and post pics. it's not working. someone know how?

I loved it as well as her hair brooch.... She's so beautiful! Now onto when you walked in.. absolutely gorgeous and radiant!!! Took my breath away!! When Maica said his vows you saw nothing but kleenex going up to faces and big smile everywhere... I'm sure yours was the biggest! I loved your exit.. Your granny did the dang thing by lifting that cane in the air and getting her dance on! Your brother hit us with the George Jefferson... Hollered!!! Your reception was beautifully decorated!! Good food, good drinks and good people! Your hairstylist is soooo sweet... I had jumpsuit envy with her tho... She knew who we were the inure she asked where Tash was from... Lol!

  • Hey now!

    Texas is bigger than any piece of land has a right to be. 

    Got in on Saturday, drove to the hotel, met up with those two coconuts up there ^^ and proceeded to go to the church.  When the doors opened and here comes groomie and his dudes pimp strollin down the aisle, we knew it was finna be a fun party!   Ok next, bridal party.  Miss GG looking gorgeous and biggirly.  Then the flower girl - ya'll this baby was adorable but please believe she was in document revision mode, tambout NOBODY said anything about having to do this in front of an audience, the deal's off, see ya at dinner.  The. Cutest.

    Then, even though this is the moment you anticipate at every wedding (well, the one I do) I still wasn't ready - here's how I know - the doors opened, we get a glimpse of the glamazon and her daddy and everybody gasped in unison, I'm not kidding, if it wasn't so touching a moment, the whole church pearlclutching at once would've been giggleworthy.    Wait, because this family was not done with our endocrine system.   Groomie starts his vows and we're fine, I promise......and then we hear his voice catches.    @#hankiethrowbaptistfuneralcry.   Tasha was hogging the Kleenex box so I'm not sure what the world we did but the mess got sopped up.   Then Mrs. D. said her vows, might as well get all the moisture out of our system, so more squeegeying and there were some more words and some laughter and a pronouncement that we could now, for the first time, welcome Mr. and Mrs. [____] [____].   One broom hop and several happy aisle shimmies later (shoutout to gramma) and us was finna eat.

    Reception - all things wonderful.  I 1/2 a glass of moscato (designated driver) booo! hiss! and everything was beautiful, you just won't know that from my phone because it chose that particular day to inform me that its memory was full.   more booing and hissing.   The dance floor, the tablecloths, the attention to detail, oooh, the cocktail hour food (I tore up a fair share, more than my fair share of meatballs, le. yum.)  What a wonderful day for a wonderful couple.  Thank you for inviting me to share in your joy girl, you were a beautiful bride and are a beautiful person.

    The cake needs its own postscript - white cake, with white or vanilla frosting and soft? uuuuh, LIKE. BUTTA.   If I hadn't been such a greedy hoar with the rest of dinner, I might've had room and foresight to steal some more of it.  dammit, I really need to work on that.
