My baby girl gets married 11-13-21

Well, the girl is MARRIED!  After 10 months of planning the day was finally here.  I had prayed and prayed for no rain.  Erin really wanted to get married outside.  Well, it didn't rain...... however, it was 50 degrees! BUT it was the most wonderful day and the wedding was BEAUTIFUL.  I asked her if it was all she dreamed and she gave me the biggest smile and hug.  Let me just tell you that warms a mother's heart!! All we want is for our kids to be happy.  💓 

We started the day at my house.  She spent her last night single with her mom at my house. 💓  My daughter in law which was also the matron of honor spent the night also.  I made everyone coffee and we were off to the venue.  The hair and makeup girls would be arriving by 8am ready to start on all 8 of us...  6 brides maids, 1 bride and 1 mother of bride.  The girls had the best time relaxing in the bridal suite.  It was a carefree morning.  No fussing.. .no stressing...  I had prayed with the girls before we got out of the vehicle at the venue and told them only happy thoughts rest of the day. 😍  Erin had been so stressed the last couple of weeks that I was afraid she was going to break.  She had a good cry the day before and I told her most brides feel the stress.  It's STRESSFUL planning a wedding.  She had picked out everything down to the smallest detail.  Did I say she's a perfectionist???  SHE IS! 💗 The girls were awesome just chilling and talking about happy memories.  It really relaxed Erin and I was so thankful!  Erin's aunt Debby, Aunt Francis and Allison brought food for the bridal suite and grooms room.  So they had nothing to worry about.  The hair and makeup girls were amazing!  They also did a good job relaxing everyone.  Katie and Kellie (their twins) and AMAZING! 

Soon it was time for pre wedding photos.  Boy it was cold outside, but NO rain.  Everyone was beautiful!  Even the little kids did amazing and didn't complain about the cold weather.  

Soon it was time to lock the bride up till her time to walk down the isle so I went to the bridal suite with her.  It was a bittersweet last minute with her before I had to go walk down the isle and be seated.   It was a beautiful ceremony!

There is so many details I could share about the wedding / reception.  I'll have to come back and do that when I have some time. 

Here are a few quick notes:

1. Groom and groomsmen were early to venue 👍

2. I stood up for bride and no one stood... for several seconds that seemed like an hour.. 😅  Erin didn't walk in to the wedding march so I don't think people were ready for her.  She walked in to Ed Sheeran's Perfect Duet. 💓
