The wedding day started off with a family breakfast hosted by my sweet cousins Jimmy, Christy and Andrew. The breakfast was a relaxing moment before the day took off at full speed. Good food was had while funny family stories were told. The mental snapshot for the morning was lots of laughter over breakfast as sleepy friends and family members drifted out of their hotel rooms to start the day with us.
After finishing setting up the reception site and eating a quick lunch at McAllisters, it was back to the hotel to start getting ready. My cousin, Kimbrell, came to my hotel room to do my hair and make up. I originally thought I would do my own but Kimbrell, a hairstylist and make up artist, offered and I am so glad that she did. Not only did I love my look but not having to do my own was so relaxing. Even more special, it was just Mom, Kimbrell and me for about an hour. We had sweet family time and reimininsced about when Mom babysat Kimbrell as a child. The only things that would keep her from crying were crackers and brushing her hair. She must have known as a baby that hair would be her future profession. The mental snapshot I have from that moment is when my sweet bridesmaids came in and saw what I looked like for the first time. They all made me feel so beautiful! I was surrounded all day by so much love!
