After having our makeup done, we headed to my Aunt Kathi’s house to get dressed and ready for the big event. Her beautiful house is just around the corner from the chapel, and she graciously let us use her newly decorated bedroom for all of our staging. While I knew it had just been redone, you must believe that I had no idea how perfectly blue and gorgeous our prepping suite was for our photos!
Michelle had a bit of trouble keeping her sash pinned, so Meagan attempted to help.
Nope… it still needs more safety pins… so Aunt Kathi to the rescue!
I should have brought a step ladder for the girls to stand on!
I <3 how you can see all my girls in this photo!
Stopping to take the first of many snapshots in the dress
Gotta get one with mom too!
My mom was charged with taking my ridiculously long veil to the chapel
Just one more chance to reapply my lip trio before we leave…
(had to insert an open mouth laugh photo somewhere!)
“Ok girl…. you’re ready to do this!”
For the rest of the recap:

About Me: My FI and I met online, but we like to tell people that we met at a "cookie shop" which is the technical location of our first encounter. He proposed exactly 1 year, 1 month and 6 days after our first date (it's the only part of his proposal speech that I remember), and we're planning long-distance from Los Angeles for a July wedding in my hometown of Monterey, CA. I have a passion for all things "cool, cute and quirky" and I enjoy video games, reading blogs (WeddingBee, trashy celeb, consumer & political) and crafting in my spare time, if I have any!
pretty pretty pretty pretty!!! Your photog did a fantastic job! You look wonderful! Exclamation mark!
