doug and marli :: the bridesmaids breakfast

the morning of the big day dawned.

first on the agenda:

the bridesmaid breakfast.

the bridesmaids and i wore our monogrammed matching shirts and arrived with no makeup and hair un-fixed. 

it was wonderful. ;)

(the hair and makeup would be professionally done later on that afternoon)

hosted by my lovely aunt, me and all my girls + moms + grandmothers feasted on a fabulous breakfast.

after eating, we all gathered around, forming a circle, and said a chain prayer--what a special moment and memory.
