Saturday, November 19th we tied the knot!!!
It was PERFECT! Everything about it was just what we wanted and absolutely beautiful!
Let me rewind... Last Wednesday Rachel and I started making the babies breath balls. These little jewels were a little big pain in the behind... luckily they were gorgeous so we continued to make them. They took much longer than expected to complete so we started to stress. Thursday we recruited Tate and Mimi to come help us and I must say with two more sets of hands we were like machines. We finished the floral balls, floral monogram, painted and stuffed the welcome bags, processed all of the flowers, made some of the bridesmaids bouquets and loaded the car. Wish I had remembered to take a picture of Jeff's car once we had it loaded down because it was quite comical. It was like playing Tetris making everything fit as we loaded it.
Friday was a whirlwind! It started at 7am and did not slow down until late that night. Rach, Tate and I drove to Austin early in the day to prepare the rest of the bouquets and centerpieces. Erica, Daniel, Mom and Chandra met us there to help and things were going much faster than I ever dreamed of! Thank goodness for amazing friends and family!
The rehearsal was supposed to start at 5 but due to traffic and road construction not everyone could make it on time... and by not everyone I mean Jeff and my dad to be specific. They did make it however and everything fell into place perfectly! We even had a little down time to enjoy some champagne before going to the rehearsal dinner. My mom had rented a limo to take some of us to and from the rehearsal dinner and I was so grateful for that so we did not have to drive and could really enjoy the evening.
Jeff's parents, Sid and Vicki, hosted the most amazing rehearsal dinner for us at Stubbs Bar B Q in Austin. It was so nice to have all of our friends and family gather at the place we met 2 1/2 years ago to celebrate our marriage.
Jeff's poor Mom broke her foot two weekends before the wedding... then oddly enough my Mom fell after the rehearsal and broke the same bone in her foot that Vicki did :(
More pictures to come from the wedding day!
