Frenchie Kisses: Waiting to Go Down the Aisle

Frenchie Kisses: Waiting to Go Down the Aisle

About 30 minutes before our ceremony, my dad drove me over to our venue. Don’t tell the police, but I didn’t wear my seat belt. I ran the newspaper headline through my head: “Bride flies through windshield on her way to the ceremony” and told my dad to drive as slowly as he needed too! We weren’t going far, but aren’t those some famous last words?

My DOC made sure Mr Frenchie couldn’t see me while Papa Frenchie dropped me off in the back parking lot and I walked, by myself, to the Bridal Room. As independent as I think I am, I should have waited for my dad or bridesmaids to walk with me.

I was a ball of emotions at this point and a group of drunken Frat boys sang the Wedding March to me. It about made me chuck my bouquet at them. I managed to hold on to my bouquet and duck into the Bridal Room, and my dad followed shortly.

While I tried to relax with my bridesmaids, our guests started to mill around outside.

My parents’ friends…

My friends…

The ladies from church…

SIL Frenchie and her boyfriend, Mark…

and friends from when we lived in Dallas.

As is got closer to “THE TIME” I tied Mr Frenchie’s ring around Sister Frenchie’s wrist.

You may remember Mr Frenchie and I decided not to have children in our wedding, so this meant Sister Frenchie was in charge of Mr Frenchie’s ring. Using some leftover ribbon from our OOT bags, Mama Frenchie came up with the genius idea to tie it around Sister Frenchie’s wrist, because it was WAY too big for her to wear around her thumb, and she didn’t want to drop it.

Next, Sister Frenchie helped me with my garters…

and re-lacing my dress.

I put my shoes on all by myself.

And we were ready to go!

Up Next: Walking down the aisle.

Mrs. Frenchie, that first picture of you is absolutely beautiful. You are glowing, and have this wonderful mix of nerves and excitement in your face. Such a gorg bride.

I love that you tied Mr. Frenchie’s ring around your MOH’s wrist — unique, and it made for some great shots!

You look so pretty getting ready with the final touches! And what a great way to carry the groom’s ring, just might have to steal it!

Tying the ring around your sis’s wrist is a good idea. I know I almost lost my best friend’s husband’s ring as MOH because it was so big on my thumb.

I love the idea of tying the ring to her wrist with a piece of ribbon! We had my fiance’s ring on my MOH’s necklace for most of the morning and then she put it on her thumb just before we walked down the aisle. You’re so smart Frenchie
