    So I started my recaps with my details, found here:

    http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/time-for-the-photo-intensive-recaps-recap-1-the-details

    On to the wedding morning. My girls and I had a conference/lounge room at the hotel for the whole morning to relax while getting ready. The hairstylist showed up at 9:30am and the day began!

    Looking a little like Shirley Temple at the beginning of getting my hair done. Lots of "good ship lollypop" jokes at this point:

    Thanks! I'm so happy how everyone turned out. It was great to have all of us getting hair/makeup done together (it was one of my gifts to my BMs) and I'm so thrilled how the flowers turned out.

    I also love my photographer, I feel like she really captured the important moments of the day as well as the emotions.

    A few more photos I missed.

    Putting on my earrings and my mom helping put on my bracelet:

    The ring on my mom's finger in the above photo belonged to my grandmother. She passed away about a year ago and I was very close to her.

    And one more trolley anticipation photo:

    @bRooklynRocks: Thanks! My MUA was great as was my hairstylist (even though I had to go for 2 trials and was a bit nervous up until the day of). I would recommend both of them to anyone getting married in Maine. They are fantastic.

    @lumos: Thanks! My girls actually picked them out themselves. I was going to let them each pick their own dress but they all picked the same one!

    Love your hair and make-up. I like the black and white photos too, I might have to ask for some from my photographer.
