I loved the calm in the church just a couple of hours before the ceremony was to begin. For a wedding of 100 people, we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect church to be married in. Some of our guests even commented that it felt like a little country church… that is, until an ambulance came blaring by in the middle of the ceremony. Ahh, urban life!

Daddy Stiletto made sure Mr. S’s flower was pinned on just right…

… while Momma Stiletto kept me cool and calm as we waited in a different part of the church. This was after the first look, but I was still all in knots!

The guys putzed around while they waited for the high sign that they should line up…

… while the ladies kept me company as I asked, “Is it time yet?!” many times over.

When Mr. S was on his way to the front of the sanctuary, I met up with Daddy Stiletto to get lined up behind the rest of the wedding party.

A behind the scenes story: notice my arms in the shot? Yeah… I was very concerned that I was going to sweat like crazy during the ceremony (not only out of nerves, but the sanctuary didn’t have air conditioning!), so I was keepin’ my arms out. But no worries, I was cool as a cucumber!

An encouraging smile from Sister Stiletto…

… and just to not have a completely big head about how great I’d like to think I looked on the day, I give you my ugly face:

Two of our fabulous ushers rolled out the white carpet, err, paper-like runner. That blasted runner (you’ll see why in a second).

The bridal party made their way down the aisle.

And Mr. S was ready and waiting for my grand entrance!

Here goes nothin’!! (Seeeeee the runner?! Arrr.)

I have to say, while I was ready and rarin’ to go down the aisle, it absolutely went by in a whirlwind. An amazing and meaningful whirlwind, but a whirlwind nonetheless!

Next up - the Stiletto ceremony and officially tying the knot!
