Celebration (part II)
The Big Day!!
Saturday we woke up at 6:30 (3 hours after we feel asleep) and headed up to the bridal suite for some morning grub. I think I was a little too anxious to actually eat!
By 8:00 the make-up guy arrived(who had an ass that the girls all wanted to pinch)!! MnM and I headed down to our room to start getting ready.
My morning was pretty mellow. Enjoyed my hot shower, and had some time to relax and organize my bag. By 9:30 Chachi arrived to do my hair and make-up. (I would post pictures, except I don't know how!!) She did a great job if I do say so myself... My goal was NOT to look like the only mommy in the bunch!
We met at the bridal suite and Voodoo looked absolutely radiant. Running a little late the bus was already waiting for us to take us to the Legion of Honor. Okay this was not your typical limo bus... this was a freakin charter bus you take to Reno!!
It was definitely way cool to see the whole bridal party and then some be able to travel together! When we arrived for pictures, the clouds started to roll around, and a huge tent was being put up in the middle of the courtyard!! boo hoo!
The photographer quickly improvised, but had us walking on wet grass!! It was pretty hard to keep a good smile when you are hella cold!! But I bet the pictures came out beautifully! It was so much fun because the bridal party is just crazy like that (especially the "horse balls" pictures)
We finally made our way to the church. With much time to touch relax, touch up on the make-up and wipe all the grass off our shoes! It especially gave me time to get AJ comfortable with everyone and the environment. It actually didn't take him long to cooperate and put his barong on, and hold his pillow.
Then the coordinator comes through the room... It's time. We all lined up and I had AJ by my side. I took one last glance at Voodoo single child and we all gave a thumbs up!!
The aisle at Saint Ignatius was long, and our groomsmen partners met us halfway. AJ walked all the way... even to the alter with me!!. Then everyone stood up and faced the main entryway. There she was with parents on either side. I felt tears forming as she came closer. Voodoo looked like a princess!
Mr. and Mrs. Mango!! Congratulations.
Pictures. I got some really good ones of AJ posing up a storm! He is truly a Likha ham! We have trained him well. We ARE beyond the "pretty eys"... we got real GQ poses!!! watch out world I am raising "moomoo" boys!
We hopped on the bus again to head to the hotel. AJ enjoyed the ride so much... Look a "a other bus" "Hi, Bus"!! Ohh mommy, look at that this so cool!. I really enjoyed my bus ride with my little man!
It's my lunch break and I must get some grub. I'll continue with the party post!!!
