Sunshine to the Square Inch: Beach Wedding

First off let me tell you that there was 40%-60% chance of rain all week for my wedding. Saturday morning came and the rain.poured.down. You better believe I prayed all week for no rain! However, I’m thankful because the rain stopped and it was overcast for our wedding, which was perfect; it wasn’t too bright or too hot.

Saturday morning began by getting everyone together for breakfast. We had lots of fruit, bagel head bagels, coffee and juice. Nom! Nom! Daniel also had a great time with the water balloons... =)

Dave’s family later surprised us with these awesome matching unicorn shirts. I still don’t 100% understand why, but Dave’s family loves to tease him about unicorns and babies and anything else they think is embarrassing. =) It's hard to see on the photo but the shirt has a unicorn with Dave and I photo shopped on top of it. It's a fun family joke although Dave will tell you 'that's lame'.

Breakfast came and went and us girls headed on over to the condo to get ready. I just love this picture; it says ‘girl time’ in so many ways.

No one ever told me the great task getting a wedding dress on was. My sisters were scared that my makeuped face might smudge my dress, so Holly decided it would be best to suffocate me by putting a t-shirt over my face. She thought it was hilarious and I love her face of laughter in the pictures.

All ready ... I went to meet Dave. He patiently waited for 20+ minutes for me to finally get down to the beach … This was kind of our ‘first look’. He had come to the condo earlier while we were getting ready. I don't think he realized all the girl things that simultaneously occurred.

I decided that I wanted to go somewhere where it was just Dave and I to take pictures. Being around lots of people who would be watching made me nervous, besides check out these girls who leaned over the balcony for our first look ;)
