Herron to Rivera

It's been a long 4 months, but we finally received our awesome photos back! I can't believe it's already been so long since the actual wedding day, and can't believe how awesome our photos turned out!  Here are a few of my favorites:  My awesome sister in law made me this, along with ones for both of our moms and the rest of the bridesmaids!  It takes a lot to dress a bride ;)    Love this one! We thought it was so silly to laugh on cue but it turned out super cute and all made us laugh for real.  Sister's concentration is inspiring!   First look with my Dad!  With the loveliest flower girls around! <3   Our awesome flowers are courtesy of Petals Couture !   Aren't they cutest? And full of sass! Three Amigos. Waiting on the last to seal the deal with her fiancé in a few short weeks and join our married club!   My beautiful family! Love <3 ...

I blinked and it was over and we were unpacking boxes and picture frames and cake the next day. I felt sort of out-of-body to the whole experience. I honestly didn't even have time to worry or get nervous about anything because things were were shuffling by so fast that it was like an out of body experience where I was just going through everything and nothing phased me.

I was told several times that I was too laid back for a bride on her wedding day. The rehearsal dinner/day was actually more stress-inducing than anything with trying to get everyone there at one time and saying hi to everyone (wi...

Wow what a weekend! Full of love, laughter, and the beginnings of a happily ever after! The greatest and cleverest ladies of mine put together THE cutest little Bridal Shower set up, and it was a blast! It was pretty much Pinterest paradise, and it was perfect.  Every little touch was just a little slice of sunshine, from the entry way "date jar" idea and recipe box, the pictures on canvas, to the mimosa bar (my fave), the delicious lunch (and strawberry feta salad!), to the table dedicated to sweets.  The little details on everything was just too cute, and it was fun seeing all of the little things that the girls had put together.  And of course they had me "practice" my cake cutting skills-since everyone knows it's a piece of vital information that you will need for an actual wedding!  The games we played were so funny! I've never played any bridal shower games before, so this was all new to me too....
