Wedding (getting ready)

Having the wedding in a destination location adds stress in many ways. Doing all the wedding planning from afar, getting everything to the destination, and having everyone getting ready in the same location. Luckily my amazing family and extended family all helped out with getting the little ones rounded up and getting them ready. Here are some pictures of the group getting ready. Unfortunately my new family was next door and wasn't included in this craziness.

I don't think I will ever be able to thank Stephanie enough for coming to the challenge of my hair and make-up with very short notice. She is amazing.

My dress, that I got to borrow from my amazing sister, fit me like a glove. I loved it.

Failed dinners

Well my attempt at cooking has failed me twice today. I don't know if I am having one of those moments or I am just a horrible cook. I think its the later. I have always felt more comfortable baking instead of cooking but tried telling myself if I was good at one then I should be able to pick up the other easily. I think not. I should have posted pictures of my disaster but I'm embarrassed to even say what foods I have overcooked, undercooked, and just plain bland.

Lets just say that I messed up one meal by totally burning the main ingredient before even cooking the rest of meal the burnt ingredients went inside so I decided I could save dinner by quickly cooking something easy before my husband got home. I got caught red handed in a smokey smelly kitchen.  He was so sweet about it as I attempted to quickly throw together something else that turned up undercooked and the other part bland. My husband was sweet enough to scarf down all the rice that was crunchy and tell me that it was very tasty as I about came to tears over 2 ruined meals in one night. Bless his heart. I have sworn off cooking for a while. Luckily my husband will be out of town for a while so I can really do that. I hate giving up so I know I will be back in the kitchen come the weekend once he's back home, but until then I can spoil myself with take out.

Wedding Set Up

I finally got the professional pictures last night. Here is what the actual event looked like. Later on I will post pictures during the event.

Something that was really important to me was the small details. My mom has tons of plates and they are all gorgeous. I wanted the feel of a country wedding since we were up in Montana and I used all my moms plates so that every setting was different then the ones beside them.

Bridal bouquet

Arch where we got married and Todd and I's head table was set in front of this as well

This held the sign-in book, the favors which were my mom's homemade caramels, and gifts for the kids to entertain them through out the wedding.

Thank you gifts
