Wedding recap: the morning of
Monday, July 19, 2010 at 06:49AM
The morning of our wedding, we woke up knowing we were getting married, but I can't say it felt much different than any other day. Just a saturday, hanging out with the fam at dad's, and oh yeah, we're getting married. We got going around 9, picked up some Starbucks, picked up Erica, the photographer, and headed down to Dad's.
First, we had to pound some helpful signage into the ground. Didn't want anyone getting lost! My dad kind of lives in the middle of nowhere.
Mike and Des (stepmom) got started on the food prep while I started in on our To Do list. Slowly others from our family began showing up to help. We set up the buffet (sans hot or cold food just yet), hooked up the ice cream machine, and prepared some final decorations and details.
At about 1:00 I passed the reins to my dad. He was in charge of making sure things got done while I was in "hair and makeup." Erica has a great photo of Mike and I running a miniature family meeting right before I was swooped away to be made beautiful. I don't have access to you it yet, but she says we'll get our disc-o-photos soon. In the meantime, imagine it here.
Tune into my next post all about the fun of getting beautiful for your wedding day!

(I freehanded that sign, thankyouverymuch.)

It's so nice that you had someone else to be in charge for a while! 48 hours before my wedding, I turned things over to my maid of honor. It was wonderful, because I got to sit back and enjoy the process while someone else handled all those silly details!
