We finally got our internet set up at home and now I actually have a chunk of time where I can write my wedding recap.
The rehearsal went a little long and I was so nervous!! (Mostly because I felt unprepared) and as some of you remember I twisted/rolled my ankle the night before so I was wearing a brace
The rehearsal dinner was FANTASTIC!!! It was held at the location H and I met and it was outside and the weather was perfect
We had to be up early the next morning for our hair appointments, but I managed to get decent sleep even though I was excited. Everything went smoothly in the morning. The weather was perfect outside.
(putting me in the dress.. it was a snug fit in the top area)
H and I wanted to have a first look so we could get pitures taken before the wedding. It didn't turn out completely the way we wanted, The photographer made us wait a lot longer than we thought and H got frustrated with them. I wouldn't trade having a first look for anything. It was nice to get to see him and not be stressed about it. From the sneak peeks it looks like they did get some good shots
The ceremony went smoothly, only one flaw. My mom couldn't light my unity candle, but during the ceremony one of the GM went over a lit it.
The reception went by so quickly (We had cake and tea and lemonaid) and I don't think we got to greet everyone even though we tried very hard to see everyone.
One word of advice: If you have rice or bird seed etc. IT WILL HURT!!!
and some more pictures because you know you wanted to see them
waiting our turn and keeping myself cool!!
