I'm married!!! *with pics

Mrs., on August 2, 2011 at 9:20 AM Posted in Community Conversations 0 55

The day was very busy, but totally worth it. My hair & makeup took 4 hours & I was getting so antsy, but my MUA did a great job. We hung my dress on the door & it got black door hinge grease on the back... good thing my dress was able to be bustled, because it hid it for the most part! The weather was beautiful all day in Pensacola, but right as we started walking down the beach the clouds turned black... the rain held off until after the ceremony & a few essential family photographs, but then it rained. NBD - rain is good luck, right!? Smiley smile Then we went to dinner & it was a great time. We are both so happy that our families got along well together! Even though it rained & my dress has a few black marks on the back now, it was still a fantastic day.

Pictures were taken by Kasandra's daughter of Beach Bum Wedding. Kas was our officiant. I haven't gotten any teaser pictures from the photographer yet. Once I get those, I'll post them, too! Smiley smile

    Also, since it rained - we lost some time with the photographer, so he is coming back on Thursday to meet with us for a 30 minute session at sunrise... I'm super excited for that too! Smiley smile

    Congrats! Everything looks beautiful, especially your dress! (I'd love a close-up of the hair and makeup since it took 4 hours! Smiley smile) I'm only giving myself 4 hrs to get ready... mine better not take so long! Though I am doing my own makeup and that should take just 15 minutes or so. Why did yours take so long? (I only left 1.5 hrs for my hair because I just want it curled and then pulled back partially... which looks similar to what yours looks like. Now I'm a little nervous... I already have to get up at 6am... I really don't want to get up earlier!) Please give more info!

    So beautiful! You can't even tell it rained.

    We are also doing a sand ceremony, how many containers of sand (in each color) did you buy? We just got one and I'm not sure how much it would fill up the main jar.

    @Sarah K - it took 4 hours because of how many ringlet curls my MUA made... she did the curls in layers & only took about 1 inch of hair at a time to curl, then ran her fingers through my hair to make it look not so hair-sprayed. My hair is what took the longest, as my makeup only took about 45 minutes! Once my professional pictures come in, I will post a picture of my hair Smiley smile

    @StankaMosta - I purchased my sand ceremony kit as regular jar type things from Michael's. I bought one main jar for the end result & then one jar for DH & one for myself... we had 2 colors of sand. I hope this helps!

    Congratulations! love your dress! Did you wear the underskirt to make it poofy? That's the kind of look I am going for, but not sure how hot it would be under it, on the beach.

    @Jass - Whatever was under my dress, was what I wore. & yes, it was HOT! I didn't notice it on the beach during the ceremony, but sitting at dinner, I couldn't eat I was so hot!

    Thanks for letting me know! I wasn't planning on having a hair trial because I'm using someone I've gone to for special occasions before (think way back to prom!) and the last time I got my hair cut I showed her a pic of what I wanted and she said it would be no problem. I've never had my hair there take more than an hour (and that was with more complicated stuff) so I figured even with the addition of the veil, it would only be 1.5 hrs or so. I have about 1 hr of extra time in my plan (between snacks, pics, etc. that can be cut out if they have to be) so I think I'll be okay... I'll just need to make sure they start on time! Smiley smile
