After we finished getting ready and I got in my dress, it was time for our first look. If I’m completely honest, I wasn’t expecting to cry at all that day. I like to keep my emotions in check when I’m in front of people (not to mention I’m a shy one at heart), and was actually a little worried that I wouldn’t look like I cared much on our wedding day. HA! If you were around me that day, you would have seen that I was a blubbering mess anytime I thought of David and our wedding day. All I had to do was think about seeing him and the waterworks would start.
I guess I underestimated how emotional it would be for me to finally get to marry the man of my dreams. It’s a crazy thing. I think every girl grows up wondering when (or if) you will ever meet the person meant for you. I guess now that the day had come when it was actually happening, it was much more emotional for me than I ever thought it would be. Needless today, thank goodness my bridesmaid Sarah brought tissues. Before I even walked outside to see David, I started crying. No joke, I had to wait inside for a few minutes to try and gather myself before heading out to see him. Finally, I was able to pull it together.
Here are a few photos from our first look and a few photos of us during our portrait session.
I’m so glad we saw each other before the ceremony (in retrospect it worked out so well because due to circumstances we had to start our ceremony late leaving no light for photos after the ceremony- more on that later). It helped calm me down so much. I wasn’t nervous so much as I just had a lot of emotions going through me that day. It was so comforting for me to get to see David before the ceremony and have some time with him before we walked down the aisle.
