It’s Cotton Candy recap time!

A peek at what’s to come!

I originally planned to kick off my recaps with a rundown of all the madness leading up to our big day including the late night hours spent wiring a million and one pom poms to our giant wreath  and my bridezilla moment at the bank after they informed me my debit card was canceled and I couldn’t take out   any money. But really, who wants to read that? So, I decided to just jump in feet first with all the day-of goodies. I hope you enjoy it!

On the morning of our wedding day I woke up in bridesmaid S’s guest bed to the quiet noise of her husband cooking a delicious breakfast for us and the rest of my ladies. It was a beautiful So Cal sunny day and I had an amazing inner calm. After 10 years, the Mister and I were finally making it official—in a few short hours we would finally be man and wife, and I vowed to savor every moment!

Spending the morning with my girls getting pretty, eating yummy food, and drinking champagne was the perfect start to the perfect day. I felt so calm and giddy after a year of planning and I was finally getting the chance to put on my beloved dress and walk down the aisle.

Once our photog Heidi arrived, it was go time! The girls slipped into their dresses and cardis (a last minute addition organized by BM S and SD…thanks girls!).

Isn’t my mom cute? Love her.

All my accessories that I agonized over were laid out and waiting for me:

And finally it was time to slip into The Dress:

I L-O-V-E loved my dress—it was so swishy and bridal, and I found myself playing with the skirt all day and evening!

A quick time check, and we were ready!

Up next: the boys clean up nice!
