Mani-Pedi Ready

The wedding is officially SEVEN days away. That means that in one week (give or take a few hours), I will be a "Mrs." Exciting! Scary! Both! But in order to keep the big day from being too scary, I just have to make sure I'm prepared. That means perfecting our first dance choreography ( see next post ) and taking care of any final items that need to be done before the wedding. That means finishing the favors, printing the programs, and nailing my wedding-day nails look. I wish I could take credit for my new French tips, but I don't know the first thing about nail polish. My fiance's mom treated me to a mani-pedi (the second one I've ever had in my life and my first one with gels!) at The Nail Shoppe LV in town. I'm ready for ring shots!

Say Yes to the Dress!

Of course I chose my wedding dress months ago. I had to, considering how long they typically take to come in. I wanted to plan a wedding in six months. That's apparently "last minute" in the wedding dress industry. I'm not even kidding--most wedding books and websites recommend purchasing the gown "nine months or earlier."

Wedding Videos Part 2

Official video is here ! Well, the 5-minute trailer of our wedding day, which highlights quotes from speeches, big moments (The bouquet! The garter! The cake cutting!), all the wedding party, and lots of dancing. Especially the first dance--I am so happy to have so much of our choreographed first dance captured on film! The full video will be coming later, but this is the part I've really been waiting three months for: a cinema-style film that captures the essence of the day and can be easily viewed and shared online. This is the reason I chose  Lighten Films as my videographer. After seeing what they could do for my sister-in-law's wedding , I had to have them for mine. So now, feel free to enjoy the end result of all the planning, all the friends and family coming together, and a perfect, beautiful highlight of our big wedding day: Stephanie + Jayson \\ Highlight Reel from Lighten Films - 702.266.6226 on Vimeo .
