Two Days and Counting

There I was, two days before my wedding and hardly stressed. My mom had come the day before to help Wes and I finalize buying the things left for the big day. There wasn't much left, thank goodness. But we did need to pick up one of my great friends and bridesmaids, Rebekah, from the St. Louis airport. So the three of us headed for a five hour round trip to the Arch City. When we got back, my dear friend and Matron of Honour, Sarah, had arrived and the fun was just beginning. Not too long after, Wes' parents and nephew Christian pulled up to the house. Chaos continued. This was the first time my mom had met any of Wes' family, and they all embraced one another with warmth, just as family should. My mom, Sarah, Rebekah and I proceeded to make some delicious spaghetti, spinach dip, and garlic bread. We all ate, enjoyed the company, and opened some of the presents my future parents-in-law brought. They gave us this amazing Tiffany lamp that is now in our bedroom. Super cool and very "Gilmore Girls, Dragon Fly Inn." By 9pm, we were all beat. Wes went back to the hotel with his parents, my mom took our spare bedroom, Sarah our specious master bedroom, and Rebekah and I slept on our two couches. It was like a slumber party. Just one last full day before I became Mrs. Wesley Wilson! I couldn't wait...nor could I sleep.

The day I said "I Do"

First, I must apologize. I have had some problems with blogger. Nothing personal really...just with my username and password. I believe I have it figured out though, so I'm ready to get blogging again.

As you know, I am no longer a single woman. I can choose "married" on forms, say "husband" and mean it, and I get to grocery shop for two. I got to marry the man of my dreams and I want to share that special day with you. But it's too much for one post, so I have decided to break it into five parts. They will be as follows:

Post 1--Two days before the wedding, Thursday the 21st
Post 2--Wedding Eve, Friday the 22nd
Post 3--Wedding Day, Morning, Saturday the 23rd
Post 4--Wedding Day, Afternoon, Saturday the 23rd
Post 5--Wedding Day, Evening; Morning After, Sunday the 24th
Post 6--Mini Honeymoon, Sunday the 24 through Tuesday the 26th

It's important to know the course of the days leading up to the wedding, as well as the few days following. It was lovely and I can't wait to share it all with you.

So shall we?
