About Mrs. Hamster

I woke up on the morning of the Hamster wedding to a sunny, scorching hot day. After a low-key breakfast of fruit and bagels with Mom Hamster, we were ready to get prettied up!

It was an early Sunday morning, and a holiday weekend at that, so NYC was pretty quiet:

However, our hotel suite was bustling! Mom and Sis Hamster got their hair and makeup done first.

And then it was my turn! I never thought I’d post pictures with my hair in rollers for the world to see, but you won’t laugh too hard, right?

Mom and Sis Hamster looked on patiently (and munched on those cookies on the coffee table - yum!):

As well as read some of the wishes/predictions/advice guestbook cards that some guests had filled out at the rehearsal dinner:

It was so nice to have my mom and sister there, while we all got ready together. They provided a calming influence as well as cracked jokes here and there, keeping things lighthearted. After all, the Hammies never take themselves too seriously!

My make-up artist, Sissi Chan, put the finishing touches on my hair and makeup:

And I saw the finished result - and loved it!!

If you remember from my original makeup post (it’s okay, I know you don’t), I was going for an old-school glam vintage look - and I think Sissi achieved that perfectly!

Then the lovely Hamster bridesmaids arrived:

After some last-minute touch-ups:

I was ready to get into The Dress!
