It was time to finish my wedding day look by getting into my wedding dress!

I made sure my garter was in place. Mr. HW is a big Cowboys fan so I decided to surprise him that night with a Dallas Cowboys-themed garter.

Then it was time!

The girls also helped me put on my bejeweled sash.

My mom popped by to have a look.

There was a bit of drama with the dress throughout the planning process. And two weeks out from the wedding, there was issues with the fit during alterations. Many tears were shed, but on the day-of everything worked out perfectly. The dress wasn’t the most comfortable thing in the world (which I think is probably true for most brides), but it did the job. I felt pretty. I felt like the dress was “me.” And my groom was about to see me in it for the first time. All the excitement and adrenaline pushed out any anxiety I was feeling.

I couldn’t wait to see Mr. HW!
