About Mrs. Peppermint

Hello, Hive!!  Now that we have our professional pictures all in, I wanted to take you through the events of our big day. To remind you, we got married in December in Palm Springs. Here’s a look at how the girls got ready…

My Mom, Mother-in-Law, Sister & Grandmother and I were the first to arrive at the site (The O’Donnell House). We went straight into hair and make-up…

The bridesmaids were next to arrive. I really love this picture of two of my close friends, my Gram and me taking it all in:

The Big Day: Girls Get Ready :  wedding palm springs pictures recap 3043dKnowing that is was going to be a long day, I had arranged with the caterer (Le Vallauris) to provide lunch for us girls. They brought up delicious Chicken Caesar salads in Parmesan baskets! This is also when I decided to give the girls their bridesmaids gifts.

I want to preface these next few pictures with the fact that I had managed (all three times) to put my dress on at the dress shop (Claire Pettibone) all by myself. When it came time for the big day, I thought that I should enlist the help of my bridesmaids. For whatever reason, it was a quite hilarious and difficult event. These pictures are just a hint of the struggle it was to get it on…

after seeing this post, i went back and read a lot of your older posts. i just wanted to tell you, i love you. haha… um, okay time to make this less creepy: i read your post entitled “too young?” and wanted to say that i am also very young but definitely ready to marry and glad to see another youngin’. i also saw your club 33 pictures. and i. am. so. jealous. my guy and i only DREAM of having dinner there at least once in our lives - actually, we both have it on our lives’ “to do” lists. and anyway, i have just enjoyed reading your posts and am sad that i wasn’t around during your engagement and the peak of your weddingbee posting.

anyway, you looked beautiful on your big day. thanks for sharing these pics. :)
