Getting Ready!

((Sorry for the delay! We have still been working to get settled into our home and lives here. Hoping to start doing monthly updates after all the wedding posts!))

Friday night has ended.. the rehearsal, the dinner, and now we're trying to get some rest. My sweet friend, Carmine, stayed with me at the house with my family. We talked a little, then laid down to get some rest. I'm not really sure how to describe how that felt - my last night as a single... my last night like this. I was exhausted and SUPER emotional. It's probably good that I was trying to get some sleep, huh? :o) And before I knew it, it was time! Saturday morning had come, and the sun was already flooding the huge windows in the house. I snuck into the master suite to take a bubble bath, pray, and try and mentally prepare myself for this day. An hour or so later, the door bell was ringing, the kitchen was abuzz with lots of my favorite people!

Meanwhile, the guys were groggy from a late night of playing pool at the house, wrestling around, and staying up way too late! Damion and his brother, uncle, cousin, and friends have more to tell, I'm sure. I still don't really know everything that went on at the house! Ha!

It's time to get ready!!


The lovely Kathleen W. doing her magic on all that long, straight hair!


Amanda Jo's bag of goodies!


The perfect lashes...



Lots of laughter and enjoying each other all morning!


And my nephew running laps around the room, too!









Damion's little brother, Dustin.


Damion's dad, Ted, helping to make him neat and smooth.


Damion learned to tie the bow ties on YouTube with this trick!


Returning the favor!


These smooth guys are ready to go!
