1. So this is a little late, but two days ago was Super Tuesday!
It's November 5th, which means...
Reception Recap
The reception! Here it is! After spending more than a year planning it, picking out centerpieces, designing guest books, creating favors, mapping out seating charts, it was finally time. It felt almost surreal to realize that we were about to walk in and see all of our hard work displayed out. Would it look put together? Would something be missing? Would it be what we were hoping for? It was time to find out!
Ceremony Recap
So although we told everyone the ceremony started at 4:30, we had told the church 4:45 since we figured there might be some latecomers looking for parking, or something might go wrong, so we added in a bit of a buffer. However, when 4:30 hit, I was READY TO GET MARRIED! My bridesmaids and I let everyone know we were ready, and headed outside to Boylston street, ready to go! It was an odd feeling to be lined up, ready to walk down the aisle, and turning around and seeing a duck boat drive by behind you. It was the most important moment to me, and just a regular Saturday to everyone else in Boston.
First Look Recap - Part II
The time before the ceremony was so special and fun, I realized in my last post that I had so much to share that it was taking me forever, so I had to split it up! At the end of the last post, Tom was nervously waiting for me on Comm Ave, his back turned, his feet shifting back and forth. The groomsmen were all taking bets on whether or not Tom would cry, and the girls were just turning from Exeter Street onto Comm Ave. As we got closer, everyone was straining to make out Tom. He was hidden behind a statue, so the groomsmen, waiting off to the side, were the first to catch my attention.
First Look Recap - Part I
I've been in enough weddings to know that I wanted to do a first look. Not only does it take the pressure off the timeline, since you can finish most of the pictures before the ceremony instead of leaving a large gap between the ceremony and reception, it allows some really relaxed and sweet moments away from all of the guests.
Rehearsal Dinner Recap
Although maybe not everyone's favorite part of a wedding weekend, rehearsals are necessary events, especially for someone like me who needs to plan out everything. Once I've gone through how things are supposed to work, and where everyone should be, then I can relax and I actually worry less if something does go wrong.
