As our oldest got ready for the big day, we were grateful to have so many family members helping out. First, program folding.
Next, flower bouquets.
We were so busy with the flowers that we almost forgot our nail appointment!
At the rehearsal that evening, it began to hit home when Eric had to practice giving her away. That's when I almost lost it and had to hold back tears.
But then I took a breath and realized that this moment could be savored more if I could see clearly through dry eyes. I turned my attention to her practice flowers that were made from the bows during her bridal shower. Although this is no longer a tradition, it made her mom and future mother-in-law super happy. This was common 30 years ago.
The morning of her wedding day was filled with so many things to do that time seemed to literally disappear. She was adamant that she get a workout in first. Here's the bride with her workout companions.
She had the BEST bridesmaids who so graciously kept the excitement up with her through phone calls and texts over the 100-day countdown. These ladies represented her childhood school days, college years, medical school, and famiy. It was fun to watch them hang out in the hotel.
But time for glam was over. We needed to get the bride to the church for her wedding!
