Wedding Morning

The sleep that I got the night before the wedding was pretty pathetic because every time I woke up I would listen to the rain and cringe. Finally I gave up on sleep around 6am, and watched an episode of Beverly Hills Bride on Slice.ca... yea it was better than staring at the ceiling.

After a little more sleep I got up and my day got started.

It started with hair and make-up - there was a schedule that had to be kept and I have to say my girls were totally on the ball. They even arrived with coffee!

Heather getting pretty

Kristy - also getting pretty

last minute DIY - thanks bridesmaids!!!

We had help - she was pretty darn cute, I'm pretty sure she's going for her Mother's coffee here...

Flower girl - see how cute!

Maid of Honour and the other flower girl - she refused to be anywhere else but Momma's lap while she got pretty

AND NOW: The dressing of the bride - I now realize that being the bride is kind of like being an infant, you don't do anything for yourself. That includes dressing and feeding. (There was a sandwich fed to me while I got make-up done, it was ham and cheese and delicious. Thanks Momma!)

The Hair

The posed make-up application shot

This is all pretend haha! I was already fully made up when the photog arrived :)

Pre-getting dressed

The dress is on!

Time to get laced

This took a while

Mom had already laced 4 other dresses and was getting good at it - I needed help bracing myself. Who says that a bride needs to breathe on her wedding day?

Shoes!

Jewelry - Like I said, didn't do ANYTHING for myself...

Bracelet - with the touching addition of a silver heart that belonged from my bestest friend in the whole world.

Almost ready...

Make with the poofing!!

READY!
actually now that I look at this picture - there isn't any jewelry, I thought it was taken after all that... hmmm oh well!
