garrett & susan’s wedding- part 1 (getting ready)

*this week’s installment of  “5 for Friday” will be either “6 for Saturday” or “7 for Sunday”. Needed to get these up first.

Finally began to delve into the 2700+ pictures I took at the wedding and started the editing process. Figuring I’d do it in stages and post it the same way. Think there are going to be 4 parts (getting ready, before the ceremony, the ceremony, and then after the ceremony/reception). That’s the plan at the moment anyway.

So, here we go with the first part- getting ready.

The bride had her good friend G do her makeup. He did a fantastic job and she looked absolutely beautiful.

Her sister and bridesmaids were all so helpful with the dressing process.

A few details…

A beautiful, glowy (yes, Garrett- I said glowy again and it is a word if you understood what I meant- and you did!) bride.

So, the bride was on the edge of tears for a while there and her sister did everything she could to make her laugh.

But the tears really started to flow when she 1. saw herself in the mirror fully dressed and fully bridey, and 2. when she saw her dad. After these pictures, there was a rule instituted that the bride was NOT allowed to see herself in any reflective surfaces.

Some shots with mom & dad and wedding party. We made one exception to the reflection rule in dad’s glasses below.

The kids (neices and nephews) came over dressed up for some pictures and then got to go on a pool adventure with some babysitters.

Susan has the best sense of humor and catching laugh. Love the bag o snacks with accompanying goofy snack face.

And we’re off …. More pictures to come soon. To view all of the “getting ready” photos, please click HERE.
