The wedding went perfectly.We had a rough start when the power kept going out at the salon while we were getting our hair done but it worked out and I was shockingly calm. We had absolutely beautiful weather and were able to do pictures right on the beach. Everyone was blown away by the crafts I did and especially the dessert buffet my mom and I made. It was perfect and I felt insanely beautiful. Our photographer was amazing and I can't wait to see more pictures! I have one picture so far that a friend of the family took. It was the end of the night so the dress is a little saggy and the hair has almost completely fallen down. I'll post more later!

You are absolutely glowing! Certainly does not seem like an "end" of anything picture! Congratulations!!!

Now that you have experienced it all, any last minute advice or tips you'd like to share?

The biggest thing I can say is just relax and rely on the people that are there with you. I would not have been able to get everything done without help from my bridesmaids and my parents. I'm a little bit of a control freak at times and so I was worried I wouldn't be able to. I just got to the point that I relaxed and if it worked, it worked.

SUNSCREEN!! I didn't even think about this. We were on a beach doing pictures (I live right on Lake Superior) but even away from the water, I got so sunburned. Basically all of my shoulders are burned. So if you are doing an outside ceremony or pictures, make sure you apply sunscreen!

Also, stay hydrated. I had a few drinks earlier in the evening but then I switched to water. Don't be the drunk bride who is falling over. I was able to socialize and make my rounds.

Mostly just enjoy your day. I can tell you this: it's all very surreal. In my head I know I am married now. But it doesn't feel completely real and I'm guessing it will take a while!
