Surrounded by Love the Morning Of

Getting ready on the morning of the wedding is so much fun when you are surrounded by people who  you love and who love you!  I had some amazing girls helping me to be beautiful in preparation for the big day.

I was in one of my friends weddings, and the photographer had each bridesmaid help the bride with one thing, the shoes, the garter, the veil, etc.  When I brought this up to my maids, they all just wanted to jump in and help me.  I loved this idea!  The look of multiple hands on zipping up my dress, and putting on the belt.  Sure one girl helped me with my earrings, but those photos are all staged anyways.  She actually put them on me.  I felt so much love from each and every one of the girls.

Anyways, here are some pictures of us getting ready on the big day!

So much love all around.  I had not a single nervous feeling.  Everyone made me feel so special, and I could not wait to marry the man of my dreams!
