Wow! I have not posted in so long. I had so much going on with the wedding and the honeymoon and just life to even think about posting. I sure do have a lot to catch up on now though.
Well recently I have opened a whole new chapter to my life. I am a married woman now, to the most amazing man I might add. The whole wedding process seemed like a complete dream to us. The day after it was all over we woke up and looked at each other and were like Whoa, we are married. The cutest part is still to this day we look at each other and go "Your my husband" or "Your my wife"; like its some phenomenon haha. So I guess I better tell you all about it.
Well surprisingly wedding week was pretty calm. We had most everything done and ready to go. I think we even found ourselves looking for things to do to make time pass. So come Friday (the day before the wedding) it was quite relaxing. Cameron being the work-a-holic he is got up and worked a full day of work. I on the other hand slept in until it was time to get ready to go get my nails done with the girls. While I was getting ready, Cameron's dad came over to blow out the sprinklers. Cameron was adament about having that done before we left for the week just in case there was a freeze. It was only the beginning of October but you never know...specially since a couple weeks after that we got almost 20 inches of snow all in one week. Anyways, at noon that day I met all the girls at the nail salon and we all got our nails done and pedicures. It was fun and nice and relaxing. From there I went home and started getting things ready for the rehearsal dinner. Everyone was coming over after the rehearsal that night which was at 5 so I had to prep before we went there. I told everyone that they had to be at the church by five because I did not want anyone to be late. So we left the house around 4:20pm. About 5 minutes into our drive we realized we forgot the marriage license. Oops. So we had to turn around and get it. That put us behind and actually made us late because it turns out there was a lot of traffic. Whats funny about this is I preached and preached about how everyone has to be on time and in reality we were the ones who ended up being twenty minutes late. So once we finally arrived at the church for our rehearsal, we got on with the show. I was nervous and could not stop laughing because of it. Needless to say I got told to take it seriously a few times.
So after the rehearsal we all went over to our house for our rehearsal dinner. We had tacos and nachos. It was yummy. I love tacos and nachos. We passed out our gifts to everyone and went our seperate ways for the night. But not without me lecturing the boys about drinking the two liters of jager that they had. They did it anyway haha. Another unintentional thing that happened was us girls ended up getting pretty tipsy too. Desiree had told us about "Panty Droppers". They are made with three ingredients.
1/3 Beer (We used wood chuck cider & Corona)
1/3 Pink lemonade
1/3 Pucker
Yes, it sounds so gross, but it most definitely is not. It is for sure my favorite drink! So yummy. So we played kings cup with these "Panty Droppers" and sure did learn a lot of things about each other. We were going to watch the movie Bridesmaids, but that didn't happen because we were all a lil too tipsy to pay attention. We ended up going to bed at around one or two in the morning. We had to be up early the next morning but it all worked out.
The next morning I woke up super easily. I must of been anxious, nervous and excited. We began showereing at getting ready around 8am. The hair and make-up lady was coming around 9 am. I was surprisingly quiet and calm all morning. I felt like it was all a dream. After all. I was getting married. It was the day every girl dreams of having for their entire life. We had to be ready by 11:15 am to leave for the church. And it definitely did take all that time to get ready. I was surprised at how well my hair and make-up turned out. But I loved it and I felt like that was the prettiest I have ever felt. Our photographers were there to catch it all too. They were amazing. Huge thank you to Photography Evolved: Kyle & Sara Here is a picture for your own judgment.
From there we left the church. My mom had decorated the car for me to ride in. So we loaded up and went on our way.
Once we got to the church I got in my gown and waited... and waited... and waited for my groom to arrive and get ready so we could do our first look photoshoot. I know its not tradition to do but I just loved the idea. After all, all morning I had nerves building up. I had to catch the emotion from all spilling out before anything ever happened.
After that we split back up and went to our own area of the church until the ceremony that started at two in the afternoon. I was completely fine after this. After all everything was going great. Nothing went wrong other then being a little off schedule but that is to be expected. So we waited some more and then it was finally time. At this point I was still fine. I was fine all the way up until it was my turn to walk down the aisle with my dad. This was a specialy moment I would have with my dad that I will never forget. It was amazing. I remember them closing the doors so I could prepare to walk down the aisle and I look at my dad right before the doors open and say " Im gonna cry" and there went the tears. Actually I was pretty much balling. All those emotions I had been holding in came rolling out. Our ceremony was perfect. It truely was. I loved it.
After that we went and took pictures with our wedding party. It was tiring and I was ready for it to be over. Which is probably why what happened next happened. I had a total break down because I did not want to do pictures anymore. I just wanted to chill out for a minute but a few people decided to distract the picture taking process right when we were about done and I flipped out. But thats okay right? After all it was my wedding. Haha. So when pictures were finally done we hopped in the limo and went to our reception. It was a blast. We danced and laughed and threw cake in eachothers faces. We did everything you do at a wedding reception. It was fun. We were anxious most the evening though because we were leaving for our honeymoon that night. We had to leave the reception at 10-10:30 to catch our 12:20 flight to New York then a 5:30 flight to Flordia where we took a cruise to Cozumel, Mexico, Belize, Honduras, and Grand Caymen. Needless to say we did not sleep much since Thursday and it was now Sunday.
Well... the honeymoon will have to be in a different post. This one sure has gotten lengthy.
