Okay, the wedding is over! It was really fantastic, everything, or almost everything came together perfectly. Amanda and Justin came over the next morning to open presents and Amanda said, wasn't that just the best wedding ever? What a great thing to hear.
Amanda, Jen and Alix stayed at the hotel the night before and had the hair stylist and make up person come to them there. I did my own hair, but I did go to the mall to have my make up done at the Bare Ecssentials counter. Then Bob and I took Madison and headed out for the hotel. Of course there was a traffic accident!! Amanda called, but she was not stressed out and we also had to tell her Terina, our photograher was even behind us. She was still calm.
We got to the hotel, which was quite crowded since we had one bride, two bridesmaids, one flower girl, two make up girls, one hair girl, one videographer, one mother of the bride and one mother of the groom. Add to that Terina and her assistant Elaine and WOW!!!!!
Make up and hair are done, it is now time to don the dresses. Jen's dress won't zip!! Not a weight issue, a zipper problem. Now time if flying way too fast. Jen is laying on the floor with Elaine and the videographer trying their hardest to pull that zipper up. We are officially late now and the back of Jen's dress is still wide open. KIM, Justin's mom to the rescue. In her purse of wonders she had a needle and one strand of black thread! Elaine sewed her in to the very end of that piece of thread and luckily the bow on the back covered the stitching. We were good to go!
We got to Green River and of course they were waiting for us. We got it together quickly and headed out to the wedding site. Parents, grandparents and bridal party came down the aisle and just then a train came through. It was great that it was pretty short and was finished passing before Amanda and Bob got all the way to the front. The pastor was wonderful, I loved his talk/sermon.
Back up the aisle and the rest of the night was wonderful too. We had great comments and were so happy to hear people enjoyed themselves too.
