I'm back - but I want to do it again!!!!! - UPDATE - More pics at the bottom

Hi Girls!!!!! OMG!! I had so much fun last weekend... everything was better then I could have imagined... and very little problems - nothing that anyone saw but me

It was such a whirlwind over the past few days... it went much to fast and I was very sad Sunday night Don't get me wrong, it was incredible, but the day just fkies by.

Over the months I've been posting, I read from one girl that you should not let your DH go even for a minute.... we did this and I'm so glad! We experienced everything together.

We started off with a full day in NYC with friends who came in from Canada and Indiana. THat was exhausting!

Saturday, me, my mom and cousin went and got manicures, pedicures. Then kinda hung out until we went to our rehearsal dinner at FIL's house. It was very casual and laid back, but fun.

Here's a pic of DH and I:


And here's a pic of DH's RD cake - I bought it at Stop & Shop for $40 and it was delicious!!!!


Then I went home afterwards and my gosh - I was so relaxed the entire time!!! I didn't get nervous until when I was waiting to walk down the aisle - then I got butterflies, but I held it together well.

Congratulations and welcome back!!!



so, tell us all about the wedding. more pics, please

CONGRATS! Where's the wedding pics?!?!?!!?

So, Sunday morning, the flowers arrived and they were so pretty! Exactly what I wanted, but just a touch smaller then I pictured - but that's ok. Then my sister's friend came over to do her hair and my 2 friends came over to do my and my mom's hair and make-up. They did a great job, if I do say so myself Again, I was still ok, but now my mom was getting me worked up, but I tried my best to stay calm.

Finally, the limo arrived - 10 minutes late! We got to BCE late, which I felt really bad cause it was so dayum hot out! We distributed the butterflies amongst all of our family members - more on this later - and then it was time.

I made my way up the aisle and I felt so loved, and cared for. It's a wonderful feeling. All I could see is everyone's smiling faces and cameras! lol Then I saw DH and knew I'd be ok. The ceremony was flawless and I held it together great - which I was very surprised. I really thought I'd be a wreck. lol

After we were pronounced, we did the butterfly release and it was PERFECT!!! Every butterfly flew off into the sky and everyone loved it. My butterfly was a little dissoriented and fluttered to the ground and landed on my dress. It stumbled about, but then took off - right in fron of my dog Charlie!! He jumped up and tried to snatch it out of the air, but luckily, he missed! It was quite funny. (What's even funnier is that he relieved himself during our vows!!!! I didn't learn this until after the ceremony, but I laughed so hard!!) He was very good and co-operative. Exactly what I pictured him to be.

Here are a few pics - FIL, DH, BIL:
