the morning of!

my girls and i did our hair first thing in the morning...

and then we headed over to the hotel where everyone was staying.

my aunts and cousin and family friend were SO super helpful. this was one of many meetings :-)

eating breakfast...

LOTS of curling hair!!!

i'm SO glad i brought my girls for that morning. they got to be a part of such a special time!

{and shaden was SUPER brave and let bailey straighten her hair :-)}

i'm sad that this is the ONLY picture i have of her and i that day...i think the photographer got one later on...

around 1 we arrived at the site!!! arriving and walking down to rehearse at the ACTUAL place we'll be walking in!

"hey, hannah! you're about to get MARRIED!!!!"

isn't it GORGEOUS?!? the ceremony was here, then we walked up to the house for a cocktail hour while this patio was transformed into the reception!

some finishing touches on the hair and make-up

 while i got to be a part of such a SPECIAL morning with my sister...pat was at home with the 4 little boys, cutting the grass, letting them take naps, and getting them up and dressed for a BIG night! once they arrived, i snuck out to take a quick family picture!
