Part 2 of Wedding Reflection

Saturday was the main event. I wound up waking up at 8:30 a.m. and was still half asleep. Those of you who personally know me know that mornings are not my cup of tea. I hate getting up early. After a quick bite I headed to the salon to get my hair done. I went to Beautique salon in the Town and Country Village and had my hair curled and styled by Mya. She did an outstanding job. I even slept for a bit while she was doing it. I hurried back to my house to get my makeup on and pack everything up that I would need for the day. Everyone was about to leave the house when all of the dogs decided to escape and had to be chased back into the house not one but two times. Finally after all the mass confusion we pile into a number of cars and get to the church on time. Most of the ladies waited until getting to the church to put on their dresses including myself. We were all getting ready in a room about the size of a small master bathroom. It was hot and crowded considering there were 9 bridesmaids, my mom, Devin's mom and my aunt Robbi all in the same tiny area. It was insane. Time flew by and by the time we knew it we were lining up to walk down the aisle. I was getting very emotional at this point and was starting to tear up. Luckily I was able to compose myself long enough to make it down the aisle. As soon as I was settled on my spot on the altar I saw my sister and dad go down the aisle and completely lost it. I could not stop crying. It was awful. I can't image how pitiful I must have looked but I couldn't help it. It was honestly one of the most emotional moments of my life. I managed to make it thought the rest of the ceremony with a bit of composure and through pictures. The crazy thing about all of the emotion is that my makeup held up incredibly well. I thought I'd look like a mess by the time the ceremony was over and I couldn't be further from the truth. Also, I really appreciated the fact that Michelle, my cousin Chris' wife, went and got my makeup so I could do a quick touch up. So thanks Michelle, you were a life saver.
