Wedding Photos - Pre Ceremony Details

More wedding photos!  This set details the morning before the ceremony.  Girls really have a lot of prep...we started at 8am for hair and makeup but the stylists came to us so we could relax and have fun in the hotel.  We had food and drinks, and tv and music all in a LARGE suite at the host hotel.  The ceremony was at 2 so we had plenty of time to get ready and we were actually on time.  Crazy how long it takes though!  7 bridesmaids plus bride plus mom plus misc people popping in and out.  It was a lot of fun and I was really relaxed.  It was a nice set up and I enjoyed how we did it.

I was able to talk to Danny on the phone that day around 11am.  One of the wedding-isms that you often hear is that it's bad luck to see the bride before the wedding but I have not heard if it's back luck to talk on the phone.  My thoughts?  Who cares.  I was happy to talk to him and it made me more relaxed, more excited, and just feel better in general.  He sounded so...normal.  Girls tend to have a lot of hoopla and hype and he was so steady.  Just what I needed.

Check out the "een" hanger - my sister sal had it made for me.  The bracelet  was a gift from my fabulous mom.  The incredible diamond earrings I wore were on loan from Heidi who wore them on her wedding day and even better yet, her mom wore them and her grandmother wore them on their wedding days too!  How amazing.  Best day ever.

I love the pre-photos of Danny.  The pocket watch and cuff links were my gift to him.  I had one of the more responsible groomsmen take them the night before :) so Danny could wear them on our wedding day.  I especially love how our photographer captured Danny in the "shell" doing whoknowswhat.  Hilarious.
