I had everything but the dress. It was time to officially become a bride.

Once we arrived at the venue after hair and makeup at the hotel, I stepped into this beauty:

I stepped into the dress, so as to not mess up the hair. I paused for a moment and Mama Pencils took her place of honor: lacing up duty.

The lacing up took quite a while. Mama P worked from the top down, tightening as she went.

Mama P’s green fingernails were working hard and as quickly as possible.

I took in the view of me in my wedding gown. It hit me: I was in my wedding dress, completing a look I’d planned for so long. I was about to marry my bestest friend.

I was so excited- it fit perfectly. When you buy your dress over a year before your wedding, things can change. It fit like a glove and I felt beautiful. I had to raise the roof, fist pump style. See above.

Did I mention I was excited? I was.

And before I knew it, I was in my gown, ready to put the finishing touches of jewelry and my somethings on before our first look. I felt like the most beautiful version of myself—exactly how I’d hoped.
