Hair and Makeup
Two words I don’t discuss much but that was what was in store for us
girls on Saturday morning. Our day started pretty early. All the bridesmaids,
Danielle and Nancy had our hair done at the salon. Some of us also had make up
done…none of us really wear makeup. I would normally do my own as I actually
know how to do it but alas I forgot my make up at home. I love what they did
with my hair. I really didn’t have any ideas what I wanted and when the stylist
said braid, I was a little scared. But it turned out great. My only complaint
is it felt like it was falling out all day. I think I had the least amount of bobby
pins at 25.
After hair and makeup we drove down to the church. We were way ahead of
schedule so we just hung out in the basement, eating left over food from the
rehearsal dinner…yum bacon! I ate a ton of food, I’m surprised my dress fit!
Danielle put her own makeup on. Dawn, Bradley’s mom, bought her the Bare Minerals
starter kit and taught her how to do it. She even labeled all the bags as step
1, step 2, etc.
Pre-wedding Pictures
Around noon the photographers showed up and started snapping pictures
of us getting ready for the day. You know the type of pictures. Before long it
was time to put on the dresses. I knew this dress was going to be on for 12
hours so I waited to the last possible moment to put it on. It fit great. We
all liked beautiful. It was time for the real pictures. Danielle was first
(because Bradley didn’t want to see her before the wedding). Our session was
almost an hour and then it was Bradley’s turn. I took a lot of pictures during
that two hours. There were some cute ones and some that were lame. After his
session, I headed back downstairs to wait until it was time to walk up the
aisle.
The Ceremony
The ceremony was very nice and short. Dylan and I were the first ones
to walk in. I did my best to smile! We had to stand up front for the whole
ceremony. The pastor was good. He got a few math jokes in too. The exchanged
the vows, the rings, light the unity candle and voila they were married. Mr.
and Mrs. Bradley Dobie.

After Wedding Photos
We finished up all the wedding photos after the ceremony. It didn’t
take nearly as long as the pre wedding photos. We headed to Mankato for the
reception.
The Reception and Dance
We came into the ballroom in a grand style. Dylan took my bouquet and I
took his jacket and he sashayed his way down the aisle. It is the best we could
think of. Nick wheeled Ashley in on a dolly. And Bradley and Danielle danced in
and he picked her up. It was cool. We ate and then we danced. Of course since
it was pi day, we had pi for desert.
We danced the usual polkas, hooky poky, chicken dance. It was a lot of
dancing. We partied until 11-11:30pm, cleaned up and headed back to the hotel.
I think we got in a little after midnight. It was a long, exhausting but
exciting day.
