The LONG AWAITED pro pics! Finally, the day from the beginning to the end!
Hair at the salon
Sophie (the flower girl) did so well during her appointment!
Of course, no big day would be complete without a Starbucks!
The guys relaxing before the big day
I love this picture of Kyle and his brother. You can just tell how close they are in this picture.
Light lunch before getting dressed
Kyle had phoned me to say he couldn't wait to see me.
My parents had given me a really sweet card before the wedding...I was trying so hard not to cry!
Obviously, my mom couldn't hold back her tears!
I absolutely love how he caught the detail in the ribbon that says Maggie Sottero! Having a Maggie was always what I wanted...so this was so imortant!
My something borrowed was the charm on my bracelet - it was my mom's "peace, hope, charity" charm.
My matron of honor had orange shoes! I loved the contrast!
Everyone was so amazed at how much crap I fit into my "bridal emergency kit"!
I kept saying, "Tighter! Tighter! I want to look skinny!"
My something old was my grandma's pearls, so I needed to have a picture of her putting the necklace on me!
You can just tell what my dad's thoughts are just by looking at his eyes: "My little girl is getting married." He was SO emotional all day!
This is one thing I can't stress enough -- MAKE SURE YOU GET ENOUGH PICTURES WITH YOU AND YOUR PARENTS! I had to rush these ones because our photographer wanted to go catch the guys arriving at the church, so they were kind of rushed. Now, I regret it.
The wedding vehicle: my dad's white truck!
Pre-ceremony pictures
Kyle at the church, just after he opened his surprise cufflinks from me!
And, apparently, it takes three guys to figure out how to put them on!
This is kind of where it hit me...
The ceremony
The moms lighting the unity candle.
I was trying to laugh off my tears right before we walked down. I didn't want to be a blubbering mess.
Well, obviously that didn't last long. LOL. I swear I wasn't as upset as I looked!
My auntie in the crowd decided to stuck her tongue out at me -- exactly what I needed!
And then the tears came again...
My goodness, how amazing was our church!
My parents and my grandparents watching!
I love this one of my grandpa and I. We've always been close, and this one is so candid - it's perfect.
My poor grandma hurt her back a day before the wedding. You could totally tell she was in pain, but she still looked amazing!

Welcome to the family (bride's side). Seriously, my dad said about three words before the water works began!
