20+ long arse sparklers...these things are REALLY long. lol

now for the recap:
the week of the wedding was stressful.  i dont know if i did it to myself (everything having to be perfect) or the fact that dh was out of town and i felt overwhelmed. 

for starters, i screwed up the programs and had to redo them 3 times. 

the day before the wedding had me in stitches. literally.  i was working on a
last minute diy project when i sliced the top of my left thumb off with an exacto knife.   my sister had to escort me to the urgent care center to have stitches put in.  not fun...i did however make it to my nail appt on time

ladies, whatever you can get done in the early stages, DO IT!  and try not to sweat the small stuff  

the wedding turned out beautiful and i wasn't as nervous as i thought i would be.  the first look did not take away any emotion i felt walking down the aisle with my father.  i know you've heard it a million times, but the day goes by fast.  try to soak everything up! 
there were some things that didn't go as planned, but i'm not sure our guests noticed.

here are some highlights/ fav things from the wedding day..
