The One Where the Girls Get Ready

We started the morning at the salon - the photographer met us about half way through, and I am so glad I had her come for this part of the day!

The photographer and I made a stop to see my dad. The headstone had just been placed earlier in the week, so this was the first time I was seeing it. I am so glad to have this on film, and to have this memory.

I climbed into my dress - it worked really well!

I had my mom and sister-in-law as the only two helping me get ready. The house was full! My bridesmaids, aunt, cousin, grandma, my mom's boyfriend, my son and random people were all there!

A hug from my little guy. He was afraid of me and didn't want to come by me, I had to steal this moment!
