Wedding week happenings.

I have yet to recap what all actually happened the week of our wedding...so why not? I know a lot of you read this post, where I spilled about all the "not-so-happies" in my life, that I choose to stay positive about. So if you did, you read the story about  my mom...and that she left on vacation one day, and decided to stay out there. So, imagine my surprise and excitement when she told me she bought a plane ticket to come home. She got home while I was at church...and so when I pulled in the driveway, I couldn't contain my happiness when I saw her. It was so amazing having my mom home for my big week.


Monday: My hair trial appointment. Didn't go quite as planned...which put me in a sour mood when I got home. 1,700 text messages later with some friends, I felt like there was a chance my hair WOULD go according to plan on my wedding day...although I had no idea what we would do now.


After the appointment I treated my mom to our favorite...SKYLINE.


Tuesday: My brothers band concert. He reminded us every single day from March to May about his concert, so of course none of us missed it. & we wouldn't for the world!





That evening... my MOH came over and surprised me with a Chickfila sweet tea (my fav!) and a silly post it -- "4 mo days!" ;)



Wednesday: Erin, and my amazing blog besties all pulled together and sent me a honeymoon package. Like, are you kidding me? I have the coolest gals in my life. A full post on this to come with what was inside!


Then our friend Betsy came to play!


& lyndsie came by again! which made me happy!


Thursday: first day off work. This day was a hot mess...the tent got put up early, church had to hurry and mow the grass, last minute things were bought, it got crazy! Luckily...I was able to wind down and get my nails DID!


FRIDAY: was a hot freaking hot mess. I woke up early, and it seemed like everything that could go wrong, did. I literally lost 4-5 pounds in the last two days before the wedding due to lack of eating (because I was too busy to even think to eat!) and stress. It was stupid. You could say I was a hungry, hungry girl. Although, I wouldn't change a thing about it looking back. Everything worked out.

I'll be doing a post this week on my full day and evening, since it WAS the rehearsal (dinner)...and it was awesome. Absolutely perfect. Everything obviously fell into place the way it was supposed too and I still married the man of my dreams that very next day!

Also, tomorrow is my Friday! Yay for short weeks. Any fun 4th plans??

  5. I lost weight the days before the wedding too.... a combination of madcrazybusyness and nerves. Even if I had time to eat, I wasn't hungry because my stomach was a ball of knots and stress and nervous energy!
