Ty and Steph's wedding - belated post!

i am SO late in posting this...well, over a month late. but it's been a busy month between trying to get ready to move, work, baby showers for friends, etc...you know how it goes!!

so, my brother got married Sept 11th, 2010. finally, right?! :) (don't tell him i said that!) the wedding was beautiful! and FUN!!! and HOTTT!!! :) just like any good southern wedding!! it was a hot party!! I have to give all the credit to his beautiful wife, Stephanie! she did a bang up job! not a detail was missed!!!

i was a bridesmaid (such an honor!) and had a great time hanging with the girls!! we had a beautiful luncheon at a bed and breakfast that was really nice and very fun. i knew a couple of the girls, but others not so much. this was a very fun first meeting of the bridesmaids to start the celebration!

After the luncheon, we had the rehearsal dinner. it was out at Hill Country THAT was fun! really, it was very nice. it was so fun to hear literally, EVERYONE in the room stand up and say something nice about Ty & Stephanie! i can't even say how emotionally amazing and touching it was to listen to these folks! if anyone doubted they weren't meant to be, they definitely didn't after that! and if you were a fly on the wall, you'd want to be Ty & Steph's best friend after all the nice things folks had to say!! i teared up too many times to count!!

the it was WEDDING DAY!!! i hung out with the girls all day...and at this point we were all friends! we got our hair and makeup done and just relaxed, ate, and had a cocktail or 2! Wedding pics started at a balmy 3pm and then the wedding was at 6pm. i don't have many shots at this point, but here's one i stole from Stephanie. Hopefull i'll have more soon to post because this one doesn't do justice to the venue, Hill Country Village, the bride or the event!!

like i said, it was HOT (so hot that we, the bridesmaids, took scissors to our dresses about 1/2 way through the reception and cut our dresses above our knees!! i think we all got our 2nd wind then!!), but FUN and BEAUTITFUL!! the heat can never keep southern partygoers down!

the reception was fun...outdoor and in, there were tons of people that i had fun seeing (people i haven't seen in years since i live in AR), and lots of great music and food!

I think everyone had a blast and it will be a wedding to remember!!!

this is very sweet, Mandy! And you're not quite as belated as I seem to be ... I'm up to my eyeballs in thank you notes!!

We had such a great time, and I'm thrilled that you were such a huge part of it.

I'm already scheming as to how I can get all you girls all in the same place at the same time again. I ran into Jennifer, who did our hair, this weekend and she was talking about how funny you all were. I'm glad to have such amazing friends!
