I finally have all of our pictures sorted, so I thought I should get busy on the recaps. I will be posting a lot of pictures in each post, and I will be labeling them with the following in each title:

• Getting Ready

• Guys and Girls

• Walking

• Ceremony

• During the meal (I am excluding the cocktail hour because it was just guests visiting while we were getting our extra photos done)

• Details

• Dances and Miscellaneous

I hope you all enjoy. I had to go through 1,535 pictures to get just the highlights.

Me and my daughter :-)

My Hair

The note from hubby :-)

My beautiful shoes!!!

My gown and the girls dresses with the DIY hangers that I made :-)

The next 5 pictures are of me getting into my gown and shoes. That was fun :-)

mm

Here I have my crinoline on and I have literally crawled under my gown to get in it. The girls are trying to unhook the hanger from my gown, so it can be brought down over the rest of me.

Here I am finally in the gown. Thank goodness for that!!!

Here the girls are trying to fix the crinoline that I started out wearing and the crinoline that my gown already had. What a chore that was :-)

Here we are trying to get my shoes on. Maybe I should have done that first :-/ But then we wouldn't have gotten this picture :-)

Here the girls are fluffing my crinoline and dress to make it look pretty :-)

Here I am trying to hold it together before the walk to my again, at this time, future hubby :-( As you can see, my girls are ignoring me :-/

But they make up for it in the next 2 pictures :-)

One last picture after the tears.

I don't know why it didn't load :-/

In this one we are laughing so loud that the guys and guests can hear us downstairs; whoops :-/

Thank you ladies; you are all very sweet with your comments :-)

@PurpleUnicorn: I had planned to step into my dress, but it was just hanging there, and we thought it would make a great picture, so I just jumped under it with my arms held way up while sheilding my hair and veil. It was a little scary, but it worked out. I am glad your seamstress was able to let out a couple of stitches for you. It would have been terrible if you wouldn't have been able to get in your dress.

@Elarissa: Thank you :-)

Thank you so much for your wonderful comments ladies :-)

@MsInterpret: Thank you for the compliment on the girls dresses. The color of the fabric is Celedon, and it took me almost 3 months to get enough fabric to make them. It was totally worth it though, and my girls loved them.

@blondilocks: Thank you :-)

@brenna1035: Thank you so much :-)

It was a very fast paced and crazy day, but we made through all of it!!!

Here is a link to my next post, if anyone would like to take a peak :-)

@ellabee: Thank you :-)

I had issues with my sister's dress. It was a bit to big for her, but she wouldn't let me alter it. She had given me her measurements with her bra on, so that is the way I made it. I am still upset about her not letting me alter it because she refused to wear a bra, so some of the pictures with her in them are ruined. It would have literally taken me about 15 minutes to get it right.
