The Ceremony...Wedding Weekend Part 2.


So, I woke up after the Groom's Dinner feeling even more like cocky-poo than I did the day before. (Too many Mike's Lemonades, perhaps?)

The Mr. sweetly asked me how I was feeling, and I think I answered with a groan. It wasn't so much a "hang over-y" feeling, as it was just a plain old "ill" feeling. Just a few short minutes later, he brought in a few ibuprofen for me...

His version of an olive branch?

We went to get our left behind vehicle, and on the ride to town, we made peace.

When we returned, he got ready and was so incredibly handsome in his tux that even if he hadn't apologized, I would've forgiven him right then and there.


Besides, I think the drool on my face would have given away my softening heart.

I dunno for sure, but I think maybe it would have.


(Whoooo weeee!! Dude was smokin' hot. Gosh...I'm blushing just thinking about it...)


What proceeded was perhaps the longest three hours (okay, more like 5...photos, ceremony, receiving line) of my entire life. Lovely wedding, but solo parenting 5 bored, dressed up children is NOT my version of a good time.

Note to others...pick unmarried, childless wedding attendants. It'll make their spouses very, very, VERY happy. ;)

Here, let me show you just how lovely the wedding was...(PS...I've realized that my aversion to flash photography needs to end. I must invest in a "nice" flash for my camera...)

The groom and some of his handsome brothers (really, I just wanted to show you, once again, how incredibly handsome my husband looked...forget about the rest of them...

The other brother, not in the above photo...

One of the gorgeous sisters...

The wedding colors were beautiful!! Perfect for fall...

I've decided that the groom meeting the bride halfway down the aisle is my new favorite thing. Made me all misty eyed...

And, one of my favorite photos of the day...the nervous groom, wiping his brow!

Next up?

The reception...stay tuned!!

  7. Ranks right up there with me trying to jump my man at his dad's funeral. I tell you, it was that darn peacock blue button-down shirt and new wranglers. Guess we're all suckers for a dressed up hottie. Too bad we can't get them spiffed like that a little more often without needing a major excuse.

  10. Getting married in Dec and was thinking of having my fiancé meet me half way down the aisel so I Googled it and found your blog. My dad died when I wad 5, my mom has been in and out if prison, my grandparents raised me but are now deceased. I've spent 18-30 putting myself through college and making sure I don't end up a statistic. I met my fiancé 6 yrs ago and he is my family. I feel like meeting me half way down the aisel is symbolic of my journey in life. Reading your post confirmed that this is a good idea. Thank you. Sorry for ranting

Coming soon...

Come here looking for the tutorial? It can be found here:  Halo Braid Tutorial!  Let me know how it goes! I had something in mind to try on Baby Girl's hair the other day...my best bud, Dr. J, did something similar to it on Belle once, and I was trying to replicate it. Instead, I got this: Isn't it pretty?! It didn't take nearly as long as it looks and isn't nearly as intricate as it looks! Vlog tutorial coming soon...(for those of you waiting, I'm sorry it's taking me so long!)

Halo Braid Tutorial!

How appropriate, "halo braid", no?! ;) Finally, I have this ready for you...I apologize for the delay! This braid looks intricate, but is really quite easy and quick to pull off...the original video (prior to the warp speed braiding...watch the video to see what I mean) was just a bit over 8 minutes long...not too shabby! So, here you go...right in time for you to try it out on your little girl for Easter!

Crock-Pot Fajitas

You! Yes, YOU!! You must stop whatevertheheck it is that you are doing, and make this recipe. Right now. Tonight. Well...wait. You should probably finish reading this post first...you know...so you know how to make it... But then...STOP! STOP everything, make this, and thank me later! Oh, hold it...wait just a sec (again)...actually, I got this recipe from Melissa...yes, the Melissa of this story ! And this story ...which, well...is the same story, just told two different ways! ;) So, you can thank her...I guess. Well, in any event...prepare your tastebuds to be tantalized! You'll need this: And, this: You'll also need chicken breasts or steak, but since photographing your "main ingredient" is, like, soooo passe, I've left it out. ( Ahem... ) Just keepin ' up with the times, friend. So...slice up those peppers and onions into cute little strips... And...try your best to not slice up the little fingers that are sneaking away pepper strips... (Lemme just inte
