After our sleepover Mrs. Avocado graciously offered to wake up early go with me to get my manicure. I’m dangerous with my nails, which is why I waited ’til the morning of the wedding to have them done. I was starving and I desperately wanted a Bagel Bin Bagel, and thank goodness for Avo, because otherwise I would have skipped breakfast saying I needed something healthy and there wasn’t enough time to make it. Avocado said it was okay to have a bagel, and so I did. So, between the carb flood and the manicure, I was beginning to calm down ever so slightly.

Why was I so on edge? I was already hyped from the night before, and on top of that the weather report called for rain. RAIN. I was in panic mode. In fact, I couldn’t stop getting upset about the weather. My reaction to stress is to cry, and on your wedding day, it’s just a really bad idea to cry so much. I also felt sick. Tears and nausea are not the best way to start the best day of your life.

All the guys met up with Mr. D to play 9 holes the morning of the wedding. The ladies? We all met at my mother’s house to hang out and be beautified by Mindy (hair) and Lori (make up). We ordered lunch, prayed for sunny skies, and BM Rachel and I ran out to get a larger pot for the cactus. Jenna woke up (she took a nap ’cause she’s preggggers!) after the British ladies had headed back to their hotel to finish getting ready. It was so nice to have all the women from both sides of the family there to get ready together. Enough talk though, here are some photos!

Mindy worked on my hair…
