Glamnuptials: Prep time

When I woke up, the first thing I did was go immediately on the computer to blog for weddingbee. Yes yes, who blogs on their wedding day... apparently me. With all the excitement of the last preparations I had forgotten to write my last post as a Miss and it was a must on my to-do list. Then it was weather check time. It rained all week and Saturday seemed to be no exception to the rule, but for some miraculous reason it did not rain one bit. I had the most perfect day ever!

Our day schedule was quite tight, but do-able. First stop, the hairdresser. It was extremely fun being at the hairdresser with my sisters (BM) and my cousin (MOH) and everyone was looking great. One thing though, I forgot my veil at home so my awesome cousin filled her duties as MOH. She went back to my place to grab my veil. How awesome is she.

My wedding look - With my veil - thanks MOH!

Once I got back home, my good friend was there ready to put my makeup on - fake lashes and all. Basically the same look as my first trial but in the pink tones. I let her do her magic... and I loved how I looked. I felt like a million dollars. I'm a makeup freak and could of done it myself, but instead in order to de-stress, I decided to do my sister's makeup.

Yup yup, that's me in the sexiest position ever!

Once everyone was ready, it was my turn. The photographer finally arrived and the videographer was there too... it felt all so surreal but exciting at the same time.



My dress almost didn't fit through the door... lol

Holding my boobies in place - lol (the ladies were free all day)



Putting on the my jewelry - with the help of my sister and my mommy

Look at the my prince charming putting on my Cinderella shoes - lol.
Thanks again MOH


I was all set and ready to go. My daddy came with my in our vintage 1959 Bentley so that I wouldn't be alone on my way to the church. At this point I was getting nervous... but still holding it together. Breath in , Breath out. ;)

I'm going to the chapel and I'm gonna get married...

I love detail shots and knew I had to have some of those in my wedding pictures. Since I worked hard DIYing some elements of my attire, I wanted to make sure I had pictures to remember forever all the hard work and crazy hours I spent. When the photographer arrived I asked him if he could take pictures of our details and he did just that.

I absolutely adore these pictures of my wedding dress. Its simply stunning. How I wish I could wear it all day long. Seriously ... lol

These details were for Mr.Flamingo and his first love - Superman. I wanted to have something extra special for him and my DIY Superman Garter definitely caught everyone's attention. His Cufflinks were perfect and cute, I must admit.
