a and m :: the big day.

a perfect day (it rained the day before and the day after. God is amazing.), waking up knowing this was the last night my sister would be sleeping upstairs with me, me and the sis taking our time to take a shower and eat a little breakfast at home, listening to wedding playlist music on the way to the venue, a quick raking job by daddy, setting the tables with the bridesmaids the correct way (haha!), hair and makeup...did i mention how FUN that was?...well it was, a quick photo shoot in our robes, the excitement of slipping our dresses over our heads and getting that "princess feeling" all over again, a card from the groom to his bride delivered by his mom, spying on the groom without him knowing (they did not see each other before the ceremony...or so the groom thought *insert sneaky grin*), hanging out in the weight room (*ahem* i mean, the brides room) and being silly and giddy from all the excitement, one last picture with the sister before she is a married woman, getting butterflies before walking down the isle (and it wasn't even my wedding. sheeesh.), the bro-in-law's "first look" (a little smirk-smile thing), starting to tear up after he says "i do," a sisterly embrace after after the ceremony and after walking back down the isle, a dinner of turnip green soup//potato soup//bread bowls//fruit//sandwiches & wraps//sweet tea & apple cider punch, cousins sneaking away to write on the trucks windows, sparklers lit, "the dip," cleanup till late late, sitting around the fire with friends and family, rain sprinkles beginning to fall as the last box was loaded.
