Minnesota-Minneapolis and St. Paul

I'm Married!

Well.. it's facebook official so I figured I should annouce it here too. David and I are officially Mr and Mrs. We both had a blast that day. The weather could not have been better. We had a couple hiccups nothing major. (Example: We didn't have a ring bearer pillow or flower girl basket and my family never showed up for pictures)

Quick Tips aka Shannan's Do's an Don'ts

Do have a rain back up :)
Don't stress about the small stuff.
Don't do a seating chart unless you have to. ;) We had people that brought uninvited guests and it messed it up something fierce. However, I didn't know until this morning.
Do spend lots of time with your man the day of.
Do drinks lots of water (and yes I did have to pee a couple times in my dress but that meant I was hydrated and good to go. David was really dehydrated)
Do wear comfy shoes- my sneakers saved me! After dinner I literally didn't sit down unless going to the bathroom.

I'll add pics when I start getting them in.... Reviews to come... My only disappointment was the cake... it was nothing like I wanted. It tasted delicious but the look was nothing to write home about and way less than what I thought we should have gotten for our money.

    We took pictures around the Church in St. Augusta. The swings and playground are at my elementary school across the parking lot. :D We also took some in Munisinger gardens but she has not posted them yet.

    Congrats!  I can't look at your pictures from my work computer, but it sounds like you were stunning!  Sorry the cake sucked so bad.  People shouldn't overestimate their abilities for something that important.

    I was thinking about you on Saturday!  I'm glad none of the storms in the TC made it up to St. Cloud.

    CONGRATS!   Crazy that people brought uninvited guests!  WTH??  Did you have buffet or plated?   Also I can't see the pics at work (FB is blocked here) but I will try to look at them later at home.
