Boom, boom, BAM!!!!!!!!! (Non-pro pic and detail HEAVY...possibly record-breaking)

I can't believe our wedding is over and that we are now settling into married life. It isn't much different. but that ring on DH's (!!!!) finger gives me butterflies every time I see it. I'm a wordy person, so let me sum up the long post below with a little advice..

1. GET A DOC. IT IS WORTH THE MONEY. (See loooong post below.)

2. You need extra emergency money in case something happens day-of.

3. Take time to really soak everything in. Remember it’s about you and your husband. (Do a last dance!!!!!)

4. People DO notice details. I cannot tell you how many times I have been complimented on the wedding....and how many people mentioned how incredible the details were. Those little things make a bigger impact than you realize when it’s all tied together.

5. Regardless of that, don’t sweat the small stuff. If a detail is wrong, the only person who will notices is YOU. So let it go or tell someone else to handle it!

Without further ado..a few pro-pics first (and a repost, sorry)

    Soooooo beautiful! Love your bouquet and centerpieces! I am so happy to hear that the Last Dance is a good idea - our DJ mentioned it when we booked him, and I'd never heard of it before so we sort of tentatively said yes we'd do it, but reading your BAM makes me happy we added it!

    Everything sounded perfect! I wanted to cry a bit when I read the part where Cliff pulled you aside, that is too sweet. You looked stunning, your dress is flawless on you. So happy for you, congrats a million times over!! I can't wait to see your pro pics

    I am so glad no one thinks I'm psycho for having an exceptionally long BAM. Or you at least kept it to yourself. Whatever, I'm printing it out for memories sooo...

    @VMD You're so close! Hang in there! Also I'm right down the road so let me know if you need anything Smiley smile

    I would love to know what you said/did to have people stay off their phones? and what was your logic to do so? I'm just starting to think through we would like to do and have 2 months to plan our day. Thanks!

    @FFW Yep! They are!

    @Meera We included a line in our programs that was really honest but sort of passive aggressive...it read like this: "UNPLUGGED WEDDING: We are so honored that you have taken the time to witness the incredible sanctity of our marriage vows and the beautiful moments that unfold. We wish for you to be fully present during the ceremony, and as such, we ask that you please refrain from taking any photos or videos during the ceremony and put all digital devices away. We have amazing photographers capturing the moment and we promise to share our wedding photos with you afterward – and of course, we are all about the shutterbugs during our reception at Bakery 105!"
