You know the saying, “The harder you fall, the higher you bounce?”
Well, it’s particularly true at your wedding. Or, it was at ours, anyways.
After arriving at our venue and witnessing all the chaos caused by the rain, folks, I was majorly stressin’. But then the rain let up for a few minutes and our photographer wanted to do our first look.
And suddenly (Like magic?) I didn’t care about anything but seeing Mr Trail Mix. In fact, I realized that I was damn excited to see him! Seriously, the transformation was practically instantaneous. I let go of the worries and stress and once again, wedding day excitement reigned as I hurried out to meet my love.
*Thanks Kelly, for capturing this moment so beautifully. Be still, my heart…
Mr Trail Mix strikes a GQ pose while awaiting the onset of his beautiful (*wink) bride…
Here I come, Mr Trail Mix, comin’ to getcha!
I never realized until looking at this photo that others were watching us while the first look happened. We were so wrapped up in our own world, we didn’t even notice.
I walked up to him (with a kind of impish look on my face, don’t you agree?) and my heart began to pound a little bit. My arms were shaking but I had to hold up my dress so it wouldn’t get soaked!
Hilariously enough, it looks like I’m barefoot in these photos but not so fast, I’m actually wearing my beautiful, gold, J.Crew shoes. You’ll see them in detail in the next post 
Here’s the abridged version of how things went down (the long version involves a few sniffly whispers and perhaps one or two lovey-dovey declarations of happiness/fulfillment, etc, all meant to be kept private. Mostly because it would bore you all to death and no one would read the rest of this post!)
*Giggle, giggle…tap, tap…
*Tee Hee! Here I am, all spifffed up, one bride-to-be, just like you ordered!
*Aw, You look pretty. No, you look pretty. Let’s hug and kiss. A lot.
Gosh, Mr TM is so handsome in these pictures. It must be all the love in the air!
See? I wasn’t kidding about the hugging and kissing a lot parts!
And with that, we had officially seen each other in our formal marriage cloth and both parties approved and agreed to go through with things. Yup, it was time to take exactly one million photos and then do the damn deed. And despite all the obstacles thus far, we were both super-pumped! Bring it on, wedding!
Follow along, if ya want!
Hahaha I love this! You guys are so cute, and you crack me up!
Aww sooo adorable! We were so close to doing a first look, but ran out of time 
Ah well Mr L got his wish of seeing me walk down the aisle first.
You had such a sweet first look, Mrs. TM! When he first turned around and your hands are behind your back–that photo is priceless!
i love your face in the photos where you’re “sneeking” up in him! you two make a gorgeous couple and you look so happy and in love! this makes me really want to do a first look, but he is ridiculously superstitious!
Awwwww!! They are soooo soooo good! I love them!! You look SO cute in that first-first look photo!! I love it!! They look great 
you Trailmixes are so adorable!! You’re like a bright shiney orb of bridal joy. I never would have known you were stressed a couple minutes before
You look so cute in the ones where you are tapping his shoulder and when he turns around! I’m so excited for the first look!
oh yay! I love that you’re using “all my love, all my life” as your phrase. My parents sign their cards/gifts/notes to each other “all my life, dad’s name” and “all my love, mom’s name”.
You look so pretty in your pics!
Aww, these are the sweetest! And, I love that you can see everyone watching in the background. The first look really is the best!
I love that you had a crew watching you, they are your posse! You guys look so great.
aww i love the naughty look on your face as you sneak up, these are really sweet pics!
that last picture is so romantic–you sweet lovebirds against the backdrop of that beautiful landscape. it *so* captures your wedding.
I adore your first look photos! Especially the look on your face as you were sneaking up behind him!
Whooo hoooo! I’m so glad your first look turned out so wonderfully. I can’t wait for the next post!
[...] All My Love, All My Life: Fancy Meetin’ You Here! [...]
