Here are the photos from the wedding day!
The back of my hair - given how short and fine my hair is, I was impressed with my stylist's ability to make it appear that my hair was in an updo
We arrived at Landmark Center and saw that the chairs had been covered by the personal attendants - it all looked beautiful!
This is the room we got ready in - an old judge's chambers
I ordered lunch from my favorite - Nelson Cheese & Deli - great option since they deliver! Since I was the one doing the ordering, I also made sure that there would be snickerdoodle cookies...... highlight of my day :)
We then went outside in Rice Park to take photos - I had gotten all the bridesmaids these pashminas, and we all wore our boots. It was freezing.
We ran into Ben and Annie on the way back in! (please note that Ben's tie coordinates - thanks Liz!)
Annie couldn't quite figure out how to crawl in this dress
She sure did have fun patting and swishing it though!
Family! I love that Annie is touching my shoulder in this one
Took a little break from the dress before the ceremony - she was walked down the aisle with Ben and my mom
We watched from the 4th floor as guests started to arrive
I'm sure the guys loved being near my pumping supplies - I pumped on the floor under that desk, since that was the only outlet I could find :)
Signing the marriage license - my main duty
Grandpa helping Annie back into her dress
Best part of Annie's day - when Jolene let her use her phone
After the ceremony, Annie needed a DRINK!
Placecards that caused us such anxiety
The cake! The catering company was in charge of serving the cake - there was this tiered cake and some sheet cakes - they put out the sheet cakes but for some reason didn't ever put out the tiered cakes - a bunch of people didn't get cake and they were all left over... annoying!
Liz enjoyed the receiving line
Head table
One of the guest table centerpieces
Bride and groom!
The bridal party all wanted to do some cutesy funny thing when entering the reception - each couple did something, except me :) My "role" was just pretending that I thought the best man was nuts, which wasn't too difficult :)
The salad
Champagne Chicken, mashed potatoes and green beans - delicious!
First dance
My cousins have many children, so they hit the dance floor early
This wedding got a little rowdy. I felt old.
The photobooth was a HUGE hit - it was their guestbook, and it was so fun to look through it the next day! Madison, pictured here, is featured in probably 20 photos :)
A parting shot with my baby sister!
We had a blast, the only downer was cleaning up - I'd never had to be a part of that for any wedding before, and it's not so fun! We just had to pack up the centerpieces, take off the chair covers and bag them up, and get a few other things (like the entire cake) and the gifts in my parents truck. All said and done we didn't get home until 1:30 which is probably the latest I've stayed up since...... oh, before I was pregnant. Luckily we were able to sleep in until all of 8 the next morning! (just can't sleep in anymore apparently, even if Annie isn't there!)
The wedding was awesome, but it was a real relief to be done, much like my own. Liz and Jono are in Playa del Carmen right now on their honeymoon - hopefully they are having a great time!

I loooove the bridesmaid necklaces! Do you know where they came from?
They are from Macy's, but I'm pretty sure they were purchased awhile ago!
