This is me with my future mother-in-law and future sister-in-law on Friday, July 31st after getting a manicure and pedicure:

One of the nail technicians commented that she was so shocked to find out I was the bride since I was so calm and relaxing in a chair! And I was calm and relaxed. Previous to this photo I had lunch at Cosi with my mom, future mother-in-law and future sister-in-law. The four of us went to get our nails done and were joined by my other two bridesmaids and flower girl.

Note: I am writing a month’s worth of posts after the fact, but I remember every detail very vividly… I’ve had a difficult time wanting to capture the whole wedding event, mainly because I’m afraid of ruining the perfect vision in my head by not representing it well enough!!
