Wedding Blog

Before I got dressed to meet Mr. Onion for pictures, I took some time out to give my best friends and bridesmaids their gifts. Their presents were one of the first things I blogged about on the bee. I was so excited to see their reaction and I fully expected water works from all of us. It began, but no tears from the bride!

Here they are reading the mushy cards I wrote. Notice I got more use from my OOT welcome bags that I used to wrap the girls’ gifts!

And the tears begin…

Two of the three Lill 1154 Studio make-up cases I made for them. You get to pick your own fabric and bag (so many styles to choose from) — I’d highly recommend them for your bridesmaids or yourself. (See Miss Penguin’s recent post about her Lill 1154 Studio Party). Look — they even match their shirts — how well do I know my girls, huh?!

This was a huge winner — pearl earrings to wear with their bridesmaids dresses. They all LOVED them and swore they’d wear them again (I sure hope so — I wish I’d gotten myself a pair). From Dasha Boutique — see their wedding jewelry here.

Reacting to the “tip toes” from foot petals I got so their BM shoes would be more comfortable.

I love this photo — so much love!

All this emotion and nothing but smiles and calm from this bride. So strange because I’m usually a little wound up and cry at EVERY episode of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. When one of my bridesmaids saw that I was all smiles and no tears she said “you haven’t cried at ALL this weekend?!” She couldn’t believe it! Calm and collected — that was me! Or at least that’s what I thought — more to come
