After a morning spent brunching with my closest girlfriends, it was time to get down to business. My mother, sister, mother-in-law and I were all given the celebrity treatment by Patty and Maria of BBY Pin Hair and Makeup. They were fabulous.

Suddenly, it was time to get serious.


I wore my grandmother's crystal earrings that day. And my mom wore the matching necklace. I put them on and suddenly felt like a bride. They were my favorite detail that day.


My husband and I decided not to see each other before the ceremony. But we both took some family portraits before the ceremony started.


I was greeted by my favorite little people. These girls made my day.


Matt arrives for pictures with his "little" brother.

And his mom sneaks a shot with her two boys.

Our wedding party was family only, but Matt did make sure to get some pictures with his oldest friends before the photographers abandoned him for his bride.
And then our amazing photographers made me feel like a star.
