A wedding dress and wine filled weekend

I know I was a lil' MIA last week, but I've been a little ball of nerves as of late and this lil' blog here doesn't help. So, I took a little break. But I'm ready to catch up!

And what was this girl nervous about?? Besides the fact that my wedding is in 2 months??!?!

My wedding dress is here!

*Clap your hands say yea*

It came in 3 weeks earlier than scheduled.

So A) I was suprised & B) I've only been in the gym for a week. eeeek!

On Saturday I went and picked it up with my mom and was super butterfly-ie because of course, I didn't know how it would fit. I was pretty darn nervous, not gonna lie. I talked to Lauren about it and we decided:

'its just an uneasy feeling'

But in a good way. Basically, It's just a tad nerve-wracking to think you have to monitor everything you put in your mouth because you may be too big or too small for one of the most important outfits you'll ever wear. Talk about pressure. Geesh.

I went with my mom because if that thing didn't fit... I did not want to be with a whole crowd of peeps. No entourage for this girl. Although, sometimes I wish I was an entourage type. But I'm not. I digress.

Here I am walking into Weddings by Debbie:

And taking a pictures with "The Dress"

Well it fit well, and my seamstress was a really cool french lady. She totally gets more cred for being a frenchy. Now, I'm getting to the point where I just want to show everyone and keeping it from people is getting harder, and harder. I'll be rocking a Pronovias 2012... can't wait to share with you guys :]

SO, how did I calm my nerves for this occasion? I curled up in the house and drank wine like a lazy bum. by myself, while ingesting little otherwise..lol

and painted my nails! My favorite thing to do when I'm nervous.

I started out Green on Friday..kinda experimenting with St. Patty's Day nails

I won't reccomend this color ... It's from Forever 21 and was chipping in a day. So I switched it up:

And I looked at pictures of nails on instagram for literally hours... I think by far instagram has the most pictures of nail art and I can sit in one spot and stare for hours. I got some really good ideas and plan to try some challenging stuff. Lets see how it goes bc I am no artist!

Then I ran sacked Sally's Beauty supply for all kinds of goodies to close out the weekend.

Hope everyone is doing well, especially with spring forward. I always groan at this time of year.

Love,

Mr. and Mrs. Sanchou - A TX Hill Country Wedding

I went to San Antonio this past weekend to be a part of Lauren's and Matt's big day,
and it was a jam packed weekend.

 They got  married at:

We started with the rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, then headed over to the J.W. Marriott.

[Holy crap this place is baller status.  Felt like I was in a Vegas resort]

The pool even has a lazy river. We hung out at Velocity bar. Fancy.

All the bridesmaids stayed with Lauren in her suite, which had two huge bathrooms and more than enough beds.  I think we all got a little tipsier than planned but we were up and at em' on Saturday morning to get ready.

So Saturday. Holy crappers we were peeling roses, helping lauren assemble flowers, getting our makeup done, painting our nails, you name it, it was happening up in hurr.
I am still so impressed with her own bouquet, that she made herself!!!

Isn't it fabulous?? 

Now we did run into some trouble with hydrangeas for the bridesmaids bouquets. Apparently you have to keep them in water til the last possible second. Whoopsies.
Casey's dad rushed to buy tulips for the girls to carry at the last second.

But now for the BEST part, the GORGEOUS Bride:

My sister (right) came to help. Lauren was a lil' stressed out at this moment. 

so we took a shot to take the edge off. We were late, but it had been a crazy day!

ouch that hurt.


We Lined up. 

 The musicians were in place.

and out she came. She walked out to "take my breathe away." Not gonna lie here, I totally started crying. I had to pull it together..lol. 

they said their vows

they kissed!

and they were hitched!!!

Mr. and Mrs. Sanchou People:

happy!

absolutely gorgeous. She wore a Monique Lhuillier like she had always dreamed of:

His family..

Her family..

Us:

The Mariachis sang:

And we partied. HARD.

The end!
Lauren already thinks the bouquet snafu is hilarious. Funny how wedding mishaps become hilarious stories.
Weddings are so fickle.

A super huge congratulations to Matt and Lauren.
They were teenage loves and now a married couple!
Congrats guys we love you!
