the big day was finally here! now if you ask charles how he remembers the hours before we got married, he probably wouldn't remember much. unfortunately, he got stuck doing ALL the running around and last minute preparations. and he took care of jc about 90% of the time leading up to the ceremony. being the bride, i got to be locked away in our room for the whole day. i compared getting married to having a baby. as the woman, you do all the prep work, all the planning, all the worrying up until the moment it actually happens. then, you end up relying on so many people to make sure that your "vision" comes through the way you wanted it to. i did all that i could to make sure everything was put in it's proper place, laid out the way i wanted it to but when it got down to it, i couldn't be the one actually doing anything. which drove me CRAZY. until i realized there was nothing i could do about it, so i might as well enjoy my time. 

in the morning, charles and i went our separate ways. he ran around like a crazy person, trying to organize everything, help the few vendors that we did have and get ready. luckily for the dudes, getting ready was a twenty minute process. oh we girls had to take all morning! my hairdresser arrived and started the prep work on my hair then did all the bridesmaids hair. i worked on getting our playlist for the reception ready. after my hair was done, i did my own makeup. i was actually very happy with how it turned out considering that i don't spend a lot of time with eyeshadow normally. i then proceeded to write my vows. i know, i know! i actually planned on writing them that day. i already knew in my head what i wanted to say, it was just a matter of taking pen to paper. after we were all ready, it was just a waiting game until i got into my dress. i wanted to wait until the last minute, fearing that i would get it dirty. my sister (who was my maid of honor) helped me zip up my dress and tie the sash. 

charles watched jc the majority of the time. considering all that was going on, jc behaved amazingly well. i was worried he wouldn't take a nap but he did. he was very clingy with charles, especially when they were taking their pictures. and he always had his thumb in his mouth and mr. bear clung tightly to his side.

after we were ready, the girls and i just waited leisurely upstairs while the guests started to arrive and make their way down to the beach. i remember feeling very calm and relaxed. everyone kept asking how i was feeling, if i was nervous. and i wasn't. i was so ready for this day and ready to get married. the most stressful part was over, now all we had to do was get it done.

  1. Yesterday, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iphone and tested to see if it can
    survive a thirty foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation.
