But eventually all the girls got in the limo and headed over to Edgefield to continue getting ready.

And the boys got ready too

I finally put some makeup on so I could be properly photographed.

Monica helped me put my shoes on. Oh how I love those shoes…

Took some pictures

Lots of pictures. I’ll spare you from all 3,000.

But at some point, this had to happen:

And no surprise, Dylan was making jokes.

I on the other hand, said only nice things. This is what Dylan looks like when he listens.

But eventually we got to the good stuff.

And then more pictures.

And FINALLY, we got to party

I almost forgot to mention that we had one of the cutest flower girls ever.

And things got rowdy.

I think the DJ put Living on a Prayer on – something totally ridiculous/awesome for my wedding. I couldn’t help myself.

Basically a good time was had by all.

And the boys got in a fight during the garter toss. I thought the ladies were supposed to do this. Apparently we have unique guy friends.

In the end, my cousin and his girlfriend ended up with the bouquet and garter. Still waiting for a wedding invite…

Ah, what a great day.

Happy Anniversary baby. We’ve come a long way!
