This is wedding recap post #4. The last recap was What We Wore: June 24, 2011 which covered all the fabulous details of what the B&G wore. You can see all wedding-related posts on the Wedding page.

When Kevin James and I started discussing the wedding plans, my little heart did not want to have a first look. I know I’m super cool, but I’m also super traditional so I was a little torn. This post Consider A First Look on Every Last Detail helped me deal and realize this would work for us. I am an efficient machine when it comes to hospitality and entertaining. It’s a skill I perfected with my BRE during our epic Thanksgiving celebrations. Because of that, I was definitely focused on keeping my guests happy, fun, and fed! Having a first look and taking photos ahead of time certainly helps with those goals. My compromise was that I wore my veil with a blusher down the aisle. I think it was a good compromise because the blusher look was incredibly romantic!

With that said, take a peek!

It was my goal to be ON TIME, and I totally was. I could not WAIT to see Kevin. I’ll always remember Deidre coming in and hyping me up about how hot he looked. I chose his suit, but I had never seen him with all the pieces together.

Okay. Let me take a break from posting so I can just stare at Kevin for a minute. He looks s-o good! It’s easy for me to see on his little face that he’s impatientn and out of sorts before he sees me. I know. I complete him.

And now that’s the face I get to look at every morning! Faves?
