We finished taking family photos and our guests had already started arriving. Mr. Hermit Crab ran over to his Tish, while I snuck away for some last minute touch ups and my big entrance!
My sister (my lifesaver!) recurled my hair
Fastened my veil
Gave my makeup one last touch and…
our musicians announced my arrival
and my amazing sister brought me to my Kabbalat Panim
I sat, ready to start greeting our guests
For the first time that day, getting very emotional
Enjoying seeing all the guests arriving
Who could he be looking for? Is it me?
Hermit Crab wedding tip #13:
Day-of-coordinators are great for the logistics, but if you have a sister, MOH, loyal friend by your side, your whole day will be infinitely easier! My sister was AMAZING—ready to fix a curl, hold my hand, or dance with me.

Sisters are the best DOCs. Mine totally had my back at all times before, during, and after.
i hear you about the sister/doc thing. sounds like your sister was an amazing help and support!
You look fabulous! I hope my sister is as helpful as your was!
My FSIL will be my MOH (ok, only honor attendant) and I think she’ll be great.
BTW-your hubby is adorable (but you already knew that!)
Oh my word! I love your hair and your glasses! I rock frames as well, and I envisioned my wedding hair being JUST like yours…but I chopped 14 inches off for Locks of Love the day before my FI proposed. That was three months ago, and the wedding’s in nine weeks. Short hair for me. : (
@TheFutureMcBride: @Mrs. Pug: @CapeBride917: Sisters can the be best!
@Damselfly: haha thanks - I tend to think so anyway 
@BrightYellowGaloshes: Thank you! And power to glasses-brides! That was so sweet to donate your hair, I am sure it will look fabulous!
I love this hermit crab tip because it applies so well to me. I was blessed because I had a best friend who is also a hairstylist and might as well be a sister, do my hair for wedding day for myself and ALL THE GIRLS as her GIFT to me AND attend the wedding as a guest and “fix” anything necessary. Plus, I am a wedding coordinator by profession so I hired one of my co-workers to run the day of for me, which was a HUGE relief. AND of course, I had TWO maid of honor, sisters there with my who were pure perfection and seriously, i couldn’t have gotten married without them!
Question! How did you make sure your veil stayed secure with your hair like it is? I’m planning basically the same hairstyle and have been wondering such.
These photos of you are too cute, your sister sounds AWESOME!
@mclove: I’m pretty sure the answer is lots and lots (and lots and lots) of hairspray directed right at the clip!
@Miss Ostrich: @Mrs. Starfish: Thank you!
@crazybabyinlove: Sounds like you’re so lucky to have such a great team with you!!
Definitely your moment! So lovely!
P.S. I needed to recurl my hair just before too
I’m wearing my hair down like yours and have a veil as well. How did you get your veil to stay in your hair?
@Mrs. Cardigan: @Mrs. Glasses: Thank you!!
@Katie: I am pretty sure we popped it in and then used a TON of hairspray!! It stayed just fine all the way through the ceremony and then we took it out. Oh, come to think of it, we used a bunch of bobby pins to hold it in place as well!
