I woke up early on Saturday to sunny skies.  I stopped and picked up some flowers for a memory vase for Tom's Mom and Grandmother since they are no longer with us.  I was feeling a bit stressed and then I picked up Amy and headed over to my hair appointment.  I had my hair done in a partial updo with curls.  It turned out really nice but took 2 hours long.  After that I went to the hotel and my older sister, Elisa did my makeup. Everyone was over there getting ready and I kept calling Tom's 16 year old son finding out how things were going at home.  Tommy decided he didn't need a nap so I was a bit concerned about how he'd be for the day.  My parents and I headed over to the flower garden around 1:00 and I had a chance to visit with a few people before the ceremony.  Our ceremony started at 1:30.  Tommy was supposed to walk down the aisle with the ring pillow but he wanted to carry his blankie instead.  Tom's son, Gage and my Mom stood up for us. They walked down with Tommy and he did a great job.  It was so cute when he got closer to Tom he ran to him.  I just got to see that today because we watched the video.  My Dad, Mr. Impatient, kept wanting to start but I told him we had to wait until they reached the arbor.  We then took our walk and I was all smiles.  When I got close Tommy ran up to me, so cute.  It's funny it seemed like a dream and when we watched the video today I remembered more.  Of course I cried a bit when I read my vows to Tom.   He looked so handsome. :)  After the short cermony we walked back along the pathway while our guests blew bubbles.  We then had some pictures taken and Tom's older brother surprised me with a limo ride.  Since we had a hour we took a ride along the lakefront and took some pictures by the marina and down by the museum fountain.  Little Tommy fell asleep in the limo and got a short 1/2 nap.  We arrived back at the beachhouse around 3:30.  We were introduced and entered in as husband and wife.  We took sometime visiting and dinner was served. Around 5:30 several people lefted which kind of bummed us out.  What can you do, though??  We cut the cake and did the bouquet toss, oh and of course had our first dance.  Then the dancing got going full swing.  I think the little kids plus the 16 year olds had the most fun dancing.  I enjoyed myself but sure was tired by the end of the evening.  On Sunday we had a bbq and had my family over, my parents, sisters, niece, cousins, aunt and my cousins kids.  It was a full house and I enjoyed my time but loved the quiet after everyone left.  Our wedding was so wonderful and all my planning and worrying paid off in the end.  I was able to enjoy myself and now have a few weeks until I have to go back to work.  I can't wait to share more pictures soon. :)
