Kitty's and Todd's big day

i LOVE this photo. They are so happy and in love!

Roxanne asked me back in May to be her wedding planner...and one of her bridemaids. 2 things I have never done simultaneously. 

It proved to be quite the impossible task...but was pulled off miraculously (not without help!)

Here are a few pictures from the wedding...

Bridemaids and Bride at the rehearsal dinner the night before, in Springville

Beth, Richelle, Roxanne, Megan, Benita and myself.

The night before the wedding i was up until 4am, getting everything in order including all the artwork

which you will later hear about...nightmare

these two were scribbled out at probably 3am, just to fill the last two frames, and they turned out to be my favorites.

The day of, i got up at 8am to meet the rental company. As soon as the tent was up I wanted to be able to start bringing in all of my stuff.

The day was GORGEOUS...until 2. I had been working on my hanging gallery wall, of all the art (we wanted to have an art gallery of paintings and drawings of the couple done by friends and family), for about an hour or two when the rain started coming down...and HARD. I had to scramble to disassemble the wall before all the artwork was completely ruined. It was devastating to me. I don't think anyone else really cared, and we did find easels and places to place all the art, but my pride and joy of the reception had to be scraped :( And the rental company had to come and put up HIDEOUS white plastic walls. IT WAS UGLY and again, no one cares but me.

this was taken as i was putting up the wall so you get an idea of how rad it would have looked behind the wedding party table

Lyrics to their wedding song. The DJ messed up and ended up playing the UB40 version. WHOOPS.

boobs mcgee (me) over there on the right. What the?

how do some of these girls have BROWN legs?

the tables were covered in candles and flowers and bottles. Most every table had a "W" (new last name is Wise), an antique horse as a nod to Roxanne's equestrian life, and a small drawing or painting of the couple.  The archway was made up last minute. The paper flowers were supposed to climb the metal poles of the inside of the tent, but...paper and rain just do not mix. END OF DEVASTATING STORY.

the girl to my right with the denim top caught the bouquet...i mean, look at her face. OF COURSE she caught it.  She meant serious business.

awesome white wall.

i just love Roxanne so much and am so excited for her and Todd, both. 

I had never met Todd until the day before the wedding, and I can just honestly say he is perfect for her.

Listening to him speak at the rehearsal dinner and the things he had to say about my little kitty cat, just made me cry (i know you think its nothing since i cry at everything from Lamar's tweets to Beyonce's pregnancy-I'm emotional these days guys! get over it!) and I just know he will take such good care of her and their family. He's the real deal, guys, and hes pretty hot too so theres that.

The reception didn't go off without a hitch. I wish it would have gone smoother and that the rain would never have happened. The good thing is that it was as pretty as we could make it and that everyone thought it was the bomb, even though I secretly was holding back stress tears all night.

As we went to set up the site that morning, my sister was like "this is so nice!" and we started talking about how her reception was in someones backyard and wasnt heavily deocrated, and no tent, and none of the bells and whistles...and then we decided, WHO CARES?
It's about the marriage, not the details.
But for the planner its about the details and i feel like a big ol Loser because of that rain.
UGH.

K, Debbie Downer signing off.

(Shoutout to my sister Megan for being my slave/assistant)
