Our day finally arrived, and our day will never end. I'm sure that's what it felt like for everyone involved in our day as well. For us, its a little different. Our day will never end, because the memories we made dancing into the night (and the next day) will stay on our minds daily. I don't want to take up much time with my words, because the pictures below will take up enough. I just want people to know that our day, our wedding day, was the most perfect day in our lives. I can only hope and pray that every bride and groom have a day as perfect as ours. Just as I used to say to my sister Andi, as she got up to bat (and then she proceeded to hit a home run), I say to the future newlyweds, "Smooth and easy, [insert your names here], SMOOOOOTH and EAAAASYY". In the end, your day is what you make it, a "home run", smooth and easy, perfect!
Today is my last day visiting JCC as a single women. I'm pretty excited. Aunt Nana and I went up to get the key and went through a "short" rehearsal timeline for the of. We ran through some last minute planning details and she gave me some insight every bride should receive. Don't stress to much, you know the normal advice, but wait for it... "Be prepared for at least one major thing to go wrong". Which spoke to me. I don't know if it speaks to you the same way, but I'm a "preparer" of sorts. I like to pretend that something really bad happens for two reasons. 1. If something bad happens, you have mentally prepared yourself. 2. If something bad doesn't happen, you get excited that nothing bad happened which makes all the good THAT MUCH BETTER! Im ridiculous I know, but just try my "logic" sometimes. After out trip up to Jupiter, we went back to the Wagner house and prepared for the Rehearsal Dinner. Which, turned out perfect. We did the normal routine, had chipotle with our finest, exchanged our bridal party gifts, showed a rehearsal video we prepared for our guests, and relaxed, and got to see our names engraved on a family heirloom, beautiful. Later that night I finished making my belt to go along with my wedding dress. Ya know, not procrastinating at all. There's a story behind this, and it involves limited supplies because a seamstress originally cut my original belt causing me to have to remake it. Not stressed at all. ;). Afterward, my boys, Boo and Marcus chilled on the swirly couch and exchanged our wedding gifts to one another. Thank you Marcus for inspiring Brandon to draw the details on the wrapping paper! Seriously though, the amount of things one can get done in a day with a hand full of helpers. Today was a special day for us. It was the first day in the Month we are getting married. Should I mention we are getting married May 3rd. I feel like I should be done with everything already, but there are just all those last minute details that have to wait until the last minute. Hmmm, I guess that's where they get their name from. Not only that, it was a day all my girls could "relax" and get our nails done for the wedding. Before this took place though, work had to be done. Brandon, Mama Wagner, and I were up early making bags of rice for "Our Exit". Then I watered and checked on my plants for our bouquets. Afterward I was able to meet up with my girls. After getting out nails done, Bug took my ring by Vandell's and got it cleaned, and met back up with me at the Wagner house where she, Brie, Bryce, and Mama Wagner rolled hundreds of towels for our "clean your toes" bucket. I think the most stress relieving tasks of all today was completed in the early evening. All my sisters and mom showed up to help with making the bouquets. I just have to say, they turned out perfect. While all this was going on, The BM, Marcus Beesley, and his boys took Brandon out for his Bachelor Party. I will leave the details at that. As for my night, my Bachelorette party was chilling with the Beesley's. Katie Beesley stored all the bouquets in the spare fridge, and then we relaxed telling stories with Mr and Mrs. Beesley for a couple hours. Perfect! I can't thank every one enough for the love and support. You have no idea how much this truly means to us. |
