Last I left you, I was glowing through the chaos of our room. How could I not smile? It was my wedding day!!
It was that time of the day for me to put on THE dress:
Of course, after almost 30 years of dressing myself, I couldn’t possibly do this alone.
It took a village to get me ready.
Mama Peep took on the challenge of getting me into my dress:
Didn’t I say getting dressed was a challenge? Mama Peep struggled for a good 10 minutes to get the bow and my Grandmother’s brooch just right on my dress:
All the while, I was struggling to try and remain calm (yo, we were still running late):
Again, the fabulous wonders of photography—I look perfectly centered and calm.
One more task for Mama Peep:
Come on Bridesmaid J, I need your help.
I felt useless not being able to put on my own shoes.
I think if I had asked Bridesmaid J in 7th Grade to put on my shoes, she would have asked if my arms were broken! But there she was, all dressed up, helping me to look my best:
Right at that moment, I had two special guests.
SIL/Groomswoman Peep:
And Papa Peep:
For a man who doesn’t stop talking, he’s never looked more lost for words.
At this point, my nerves started to get the best of me. I struggled big time to do such a simple task.
Can you see the nervousness in my face?
At least it was all starting to come together.
And with one final touch from Bridesmaid Kat:
And a little lipstick:
Oh, wait, you want cheese? I can do cheese:
Finally, I was ready for my close up:
Dare I say that I was ready to go?
Up next, me and my ladies.
As always, photos by my favorite photographer: Amanda at Blueberry Photography.

awww that pic of your daddy is so so sweet, and I agree with everyone else: you look glowing in every picture!
Awww, thanks for all the sweet comments.
@Champagne Wishes: The girls dresses looked beautiful but they were a small nightmare to get zipped up. They are Melissa Sweet- and after talking to the designer and shop that sold them to us- I can’t recommend them.
OMG, I can’t believe your photog took pics of each step of this process. I am so jealous! I love it. You can relive/remember these moments (because they go by so quickly, yeah?). Lucky you!
Gorgeous! I really wish I had photos of my mommers helping me get ready. She’s just not the kind-o-gal. Actually I only have 3 photos of her the entire day. 
Totally random….you have great teeth!
Ditto on the glowing! Such a happy bride! These pictures do such a great job of showing wedding day emotions. Love em.
You are SO cute!!!!! I had a really hard time with my earrings too, a bridesmaid had to do it for me. Ah, wedding day excitement!
Oh man Peep you looked great! The make-up, the dress, the pictures…everything is beautiful! I love the winking pic!

You look so beautiful! The last two pics are my favorite!!
Peeps, you look so beautiful! Loving your recaps so far!
You look beautiful! I love the neckline of your dress!!
So beautiful! I’m loving your recaps! Can’t wait for the rest!
You look oh so beautiful Mrs Peep…takes me back to my wedding morning. So nervous, happy and trying to stay calm all at once!
You look amazing! I love that everyone is helping you get ready, I bet that meant a lot to them, too!
You probably get this all of the time, but you have the most radiating smile! Keep the recaps coming!
You look SO happy. Honestly, even though you say you were nervous, you look so cool, calm, and collected in those photos!
You look so gorgeous! I love your recaps you glow in all of the pictures
