Oh what a weekend,
Friday some of the girls and I went to St. Cloud to get our nails done, and get last minute items. My cousin Holly meet us there, just to hang out it was fun being able to hang out with my girlfriends, with us having such busy lives this does not happen very often.
We got back to
Sauk and we waited for everyone to get into town Josh was really late due to my lack of communication with our good friend Bridget s
he thought I wanted our wedding video for sat, but I wanted to show our wedding party Friday night at our grooms dinner. All
was good though many of our bridal party made it in plenty of time to enjoy some beverages and good conversation. Due to the fact that it was so far for a lot of our wedding party we understood the desire to get some rest before the big day. =)
I am such a planner, but this weekend it felt like I planned nothing...
Got my hair done at 11:00 with some of my girls Ta
ra, Annette, & Erica, then Becky and Lisa meet us there to just watch us get our hair done, and of course take pictures (thanks Lisa), then Tara, Annette, Erica, and I went out to eat and meet up with the boys at the bar by their hotel. Tammy and Jess K were there and all the girls sat together while all the boys sat at the bar. It was very frustrating the services was really slow so we did not get out of there until closer to 2:30.
I called my dad and he said we still have so much to do can you come home.
As I was about to leave I noticed my hives were back. When I got home I realized how much there really was to do and I did not even have my make-up on yet. Needless to say that did not help my hives I broke out every were. From that point on my tolerance level was very low. I could not stop crying so I called Josh and told him he needed to get to my parents to help. Josh came as soon as he could and I called my friends and asked them when they would be there because I could not stop crying about my hives which of course only made them worse. I prayed that they would not come back but they did.
UGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!
Our
photorapher said she could make the go away for the pictures, but I was still very upset about the HIVES.
It was 3:15 by the time my friends got there and I still did not have my make-up on and Josh was still not back from the barn. Everyone was suppose to be dressed and ready to go by 3:45 and I wasn't even close. My mom and dad still were not dressed and our photographer was going to be there any min. The girls handed me a beer and took over. I don't know if I would have made it with out them. 3:45 Josh calls and says I'm almost there. Oh I was so glad to see him. Just seeing him made me feel better. I don't know what it is but he just calms me down.
Pictures started and Josh still wasn't ready,
ohh by this time my stress level was so high I don't know what I said to people, but at this point I believe I might have become
a bridezilla.
I knew we only had EXACTLY 3 hours to get all of our pictures done. (and for all of you that know me I love pictures, I can't get enough of them) Original picture plan, take pictures at my parents at 4:00 with grandparents, parents, and the wedding party 4:45 head to the park to take pictures by the lake, go to a few bars on the way out to the reception, be at the barn at 6:00 have Josh introduce all of the wedding party, do our first dance, take a group picture of everyone there, and get the photographer out of there by 7:00.
However the weather did not cooperate so 4:15 pictures started at my parents, then I tried to get everyone on the RV so we could go out to the barn instead so people did not freeze or lose their hair dos with the wind. I wish I knew how to communicate with 20 people so that they all understand what we are doing and were we are doing it. As the weather changed so did our plans. We had three hours to get all the pictures we wanted done. 5:15 got to the barn, 6:15 went up town for a drink so that when Josh introduced us it was a little more grand.
With all of the confusion
Stevi missed part of the pictures, but I just so happy to see her I started yelling at her to get in the RV. I did not know as a non-pregnant person that the smell of certain things makes you sick.
Ohh I have so much to learn before we get pregnant.
Stevi did not enjoy the smell of the RV, I really do feel so bad, but she was a trooper and stayed.
When we got back from the bar Josh introduced everyone...

From that point on we had our first dance and then I wanted to get a group picture, but it started to rain,
uggg ohh weather, but we did get some great pictures with the rainbow.
The rest was just a blur. If you have pictures please send them. I want to see what everyone else got to see that we didn't get to. Check out the candid shots taken by Rachel and John (on the top right of the blog).
Sunday morning we had a lovely brunch at my parents many of our Iowan guests had to get on the road, they had a long drive a head of them. (Thanks everyone for taking the trip it meant so much to both of us.) We then opened our wonderful gifts.
Thank everyone for the precious gifts we are so grateful.
Thanks everyone for helping make our celebration wonderful.
