Big Day!

March 12th, Wedding day

The day started off by all of us getting up, we showered and semi got ready for the day.  My family and I, minus Matt, all walked over to Perkin's for some breakfast.  I got eggs, toast, bacon, and breakfast potatoes, I even ate most of it, haven't done that in a while.  We headed back to our hotel room where I parents left us to visit relatives at a different hotel and left us girls to wait for Amy so we could get our hair done.  About 10 til 11 Amy called to let us know she would be downstairs waiting for us, since we had no idea where the hair salon was.  We met here there and off we were.  The hair salon was supposed to be across the street from Jordan Creek, wrong.  The business decided to move all of the employees to another location, without telling Amy, thanks guys.  Amy called them to let them know we would be late and off we were again.  Once we got there it wasn't long before all of us were in our chairs getting our hair done.  I didn't want an updo so I opted for half up and in curls.  It turned out quite great. 

 
After we got back and started getting ready, my parents finally came back.  There was a small dilemma when my dad's tux didn't fit, but he got it switched so all turned out great in the end.  We were a tad late to the Botanical Center, but the photographer did pictures with Matt and Amy first.  They both looked so great, Amy just looked gorgeous!  The girls and I changed into our dresses and headed to where the reception was going to take place.  We stood around for a while, taking more pictures of the room and then headed out to the garden to see all the action that was going on.  While Matt an Amy were taking their own pictures with the photographer, we again took more...if I can figure out what is going on with the pictures I will try to add some.  Finally it was our turn, and it didn't take too long.  6:00pm crept up on us very quick and it was time for us to retreat to the back while guests were arriving.  When it time came for the ceremony, it was lovely.  I'm not sure I have seen my brother that happy before and I loved it.  So...Congratulations to Matt and Amy!!! 

After the ceremony we headed to the back where the reception would be, they stood in their little "line", two person line really, and greeted all the guests.  Saw more family and friends I hadn't seen since last year sometime.  It was time for the bridal party to walk in and while we stood by our table Matt and Amy walked in, to Star Wars of course.  Only in my family :)  Dinner was delicious, with chicken alfredo, other noodles in sauce, with salad, and of course chips and a couple different types of cheese.  Moving on, I can't remember if it was before we ate or after but Matt and Amy did their first dance as a couple, and then there was a bridal party dance, we all decided beforehand that we would all hold hands in a big circle and skip and dance around them both.  Good times had by all.  The rest of the evening was mingling with people and dancing.  Not a lot of people actually danced, but Rachel and I had a good time on the dance floor.  It was also the first time I actually danced with Joe.  I'll leave it at that ;)

After most of the people left I headed back to the hotel with Matt and Amy so I could hide Matt's car.  Matt has done horrible things to all of his groomsmen cars and they wanted to get him back good.  I took care of it though and hid it very well in another hotel's parking lot in the back.  After I hid the car Joe dropped me off at my hotel and off I was to change and get ready for bed.  Saturday is going to be a big day with the brunch and saying goodbye to my family once again. 

I do like to dance.
