I haven't posted a blog in a few weeks, the closer the wedding got the less time I had, hmmm, imagine that! I wanted to talk about the time leading up to the wedding before I talk about how completely amazing the actual day was!
The Friday before the wedding, March 13th, Amy Hughes, one of my bridesmaids (yes the one who sang at the wedding) had a small get together at my house with just a few of my girl friends. This day was a hard day for me, emotions were high because I was trying to finish everything at work and it seemed like everyone needed something from me, not to mention I was shooting a wedding the next day in San Antonio. Amy pretty much talked me into letting her do this, and I'm extremely glad she did! This night gave me time to get my mind off of all the stress and anxiety I was feeling. She cooked an awesome meal, all green and brown, to go with my wedding theme (even the mashed potatoes were green!), and then brought individual chocolate cakes that she topped with green hydrangeas. We played a few games where I won fun lingerie and just had a great girls night. My love to Amy for caring enough and knowing me well enough to force me into such a fun night!
The Sunday before the wedding, March 15th, my mom threw me a shower at her house for all of the ladies who lived in the Houston area. It was very nicely done with all green and white accessories, and my Aunt Val brought the amazing cupcakes which the put in a cupcake holder that made the cupcakes look like one big wedding cake. I received lots of great gifts including my everyday dinnerware, many sets of china, a sheet set, stainless mixing bowls, and some crystal serving ware... just to name a few! I don't have any photos to post at the moment because they're all on my mom's camera, but it was a great day!
Wednesday, March 18th, Teresa, Mark, Ray, and I headed up to Austin from our house in Spring to begin preparing for the wedding. Teresa and I stayed with Megan in Kyle and Mark and Ray stayed with Mitch in Austin. Thursday night Ray had his bachelor party and all the boys said it was a blast! Friday during the day we all went to Don's Fish Camp to hang out at the river for a bit before coming home and getting ready for the rehearsal dinner. I'll talk about the rehearsal and wedding in my next post, still trying to catch up from our trip to Vegas.
Will and Patricia posted a preview of the photobooth for everyone ... check it out, good times!

Also just in case anyone is wondering, our wedding was perfect, we are completely fulfilled with how everything went! If I had it to do over again, I wouldn't, no need to! We're married!!!
