Getting ready details

When we finally got to see the full set of professional photos from our wedding the response so far from our family and friends was overwhelming. People loved them. They made people cry, if you can believe it. And what’s more, they made people cry and I LOVE IT, I do. Cry some more, people. There, there. I know. They’re amazing. Just let it out.

So before I continue with the next part of the chronological recap (you can [intlink id=”20525″ type=”post”]read part I here[/intlink]), I want to rewind a bit and share some more favorites from the “getting ready” part of the day.

First up, my pretty pretty dress. Just hanging there, prettily. Waiting to steal the show. For those who are curious, it’s by Modern Trousseau. Got it at a sample sale for more than 60% off!

This was my grandmother Pearl’s handkerchief, it was my something blue. I also used it to wipe away tears and during the second line dance (stay tuned for more on that).

My sassy gray shoes on the windowsill. The hotel behind them through the window reminds me of water. Such a great image.
