06/07/08

As most of you reading know, 6/7/8 was my wedding date! I thought it would be lovely to write a little about the day and how I was feeling and my surroundings.

The rehersal dinner was the night before. It was at a very nice resturant in North Arlington. Everything was perfect. All the people I love were in one room, and dressed up!! I loved my dress!! People kept telling me it looked like something off Sex in the City.

The food sucked, but all that mattered to me was that everyone I love and almost everyone that's had a positive influence in my life was in one room! I do'nt have many pictures from the rehersal dinner, but I do have one that you'll just love!! This to me describes our relationship at it's best :)

After the rehersal dinner some of the girls came to my house and we watched Friends, they helped me pack, and we went to sleeeeeeep! It was a big girl slumber party. I was the first one to sleep!! I was still not feeling nervous AT ALL!

Then the next morning we got up, ate breakfast, and we went to go get manis and pedis complement of my mamma!! After that Kelli and I went to go tan! Then we had to swing by her moms house to get a curling iron and some hairspray!!! We then went to The Sanford House ( place where we got married ) and took a shower so I could go get my hair done!! Ugh getting my hair done was so fun. I was so relaxed, so carefree!!! It was perfect, just as I had imagnied it should be. After that Kelli and I came back so I could start on my make up! The rest of the girls started piling in and it was a assembly line with them!!! After I finished my make up they came in one by one and I'm pretty sure I did almost everyones make up! It was so fun! I'm so thankful that I didn't have the "It's all about ME" attutide. I loved doing other peoples make up for them! People kept telling me "Taylor, this is your wedding day, stop doing peoples make up!!" I thought that was just silly. It wasn't about "ME" it was about Mike as well, or Creator and the gift of marriage he gave us, and of course everyone involved. I was already dont getting ready, so the least I could do was other peoples make up? I'd get bored if I just had to sit there.

It was awesome, I don't know how I was so relaxed, but I certainly was. I was actually calming MY bridal party down!! Haha! Isn't that hilarious? I thought so. Kelli and Tara were the most nervous! I thought it was so funny because all they had to do was stand there and look pretty! Although Abbie did have some problems. My little love bug fell down the stairs!! Okay imagine, me, standing behind a door so no one can see it. In this humongo long white dress, worried about tripping down the stairs, and I hear Abbie bite the dust!! Man I wish I could have seen it. Straingly enough, after she fell, I wasn't worried about me tripping anymore!! She got that out of the way for me! Thank goodness :)

This is my favorite picture from the wedding

After the ceremony was pictures, of course. Then was the rehersal! It was so fun! We had a dj and people actually DANCED! It was awesome!! We also had a hourse drawn carriage and people lined the sidewalk with sparklers! It was so fun!!! Perfect <3
