Martini Wedding Recap Part 4: Our First Moment

Martini Wedding Recap Part 4: Our First Moment

September 18th, 2009 @ 6:24 pm by Mrs. Martini

To be honest, I wasn’t as nervous as I thought I would be. Mr Martini and I had already seen each other when I first got to the venue, so there weren’t any surprises or anything. But he had no idea what my dress looked like, so I was a little nervous and feeling self conscious about whether he would like the way I looked. Whenever I look at these pictures, I think about that long walk down the staircase, repeating to myself over and over again, ‘Don’t fall. Please don’t fall. Please don’t fall…,’ and the tension I felt as I was about to see my future husband all dappered up.

*All pictures below were captured by our wonderful photographers, Cly Creation*

Ahhh! The final moments before I started walking down the stairs!

And so the walk begins. I step down…

And down….

And down…

Please don’t trip please don’t trip please don’t trip

Mr. Martini waiting patiently.

Haha, I’m not exactly sure why he was closing his eyes. How cute!

Ahh, and so the flood gates opened, and pretty much stayed open all night.

“Help! My mascara!” We weren’t even married yet, and I was already ruining my makeup. sad03

With the bridal party, all set and ready to go!

Very sweet first look. It reminds me a lot of ours. I was so afraid of tripping on the dock and falling in the lake.

I LOVE the closed eye pic! So so cute!!! You look amazing Mrs. M. I can’t believe you had trouble fitting in that dress earlier in the planning cause it looks like it was made for you!

Congratulations for getting down the never-ending staircase in one piece!I’d be saying the same thing walking down the stairs “please don’t trip. please don’t trip!”
You looked amazing & I love the emotion in your photos.

You look so beautiful! And so happy. You’ve probably mentioned it, but where did you get your veil? I absolutely love it!

How beautiful. I’m so glad you made it down the stairs in one piece. I’m such a klutz, I know I’d fall if I had that many stairs in my dress.

@Jane: wow, what a great eye! yes it is justina mcaffery =)

@peachesandtulips: really? thanks! i’m surprised you feel that way, because i didnt put any thought into the veil. i got my dress from kleinfields, and when it came time to choose the veil, i had a choice between a really gorgeous long one for 300 dollars, or the standard plain veil for 100 dollars. of course, i chose the cheaper one. i probably could’ve made it myself for 10 dollars!

@mrspaetz: OMG. i wasn’t even there but just thinking about how it might have looked made my jaw drop… i feel so bad!
