Weekend Recap: Anna's Wedding

Happy Monday Everyone! I hope everyone had an awesome weekend because I know I did! The big day had finally came (and went) for my good friend Anna who got married a really great guy- Angelino on Saturday. I was so happy and honored that I got to be a part of their big day!

This weekends activities actually started on Friday for me because I made a 3 day weekend out of this event.

 

On Friday, I did some of my own personal (baby related) running around before meeting up with the girls to get our "pre-wedding" pampering on with a nice and relaxing pedicure.

 

 

After the pedicures, we all went out to dinner (Olive Garden- because the pregnant lady said so because her hubby won't eat there) and then called it a night because we had a big day ahead of us on Saturday!

 

Come Saturday morning- my sister came over to do my hair for the wedding. It's nice to have a sister who can do up-dos because it save me trip (and a lot money) on going to a salon.

 

 

Even though we were having issues with my hair up till the last minute- it finally came together and turned out just fine.

 

 

After my hair was done- it was off to Anna's house to finish getting ready. However, the pregnant lady did request to make one quick stop on the way...

 

 

A 52oz Speedy Freeze was a must because I knew I was going to need the extra sugar in the system to keep me going for the rest of the day. Plus....

 

 

I needed something to toast with when everyone else had their wine they could drink!

 

 

Anna was so nice because she paid to have either our hair or makeup done as her wedding gift to us.

 

 

Plus, it was nice because the people came right to her house to do the work!

 

  

I picked makeup being that I knew I could have Karen do my hair. I've never had airbrushed makeup done before, but it turned out really nice.

 

 

Once everyone's hair and makeup was done, we head out to venue so we could some quick pictures in before the ceremony started.

 

 

We didn't have a ton of time before the ceremony, but we were able to get a few minutes to compose ourselves before it was "show time".

 

 

I love this picture of Anna because it reminds me of the picture she took of me just hanging out on the couch at the church as I just waited to walk down the aisle.

 

Anna was so calm and excited to get married- you couldn't have asked for a better bride!

 



 

The ceremony was prefect. It was short, sweet, and full of love. I know Anna planned it that way so everyone could get their party on sooner. 

 



Being that Anna worked wedding banquets with me during our early college years- she knew what went into having a great reception. She made sure there was a ton of dancing, White Castle burgers & fries for a late night snack, and of course a photo booth! 

 



It was an awesome wedding. And I couldn't be happier for Anna & Angel as they start this next chapter our their lives together.

 

Congrats Anna & Angel! I love you both. I wish you a world of happiness and love to last you a lifetime together.
