Hannah spent the morning getting ready with her best friends, the girls who had heard her talk about and dream of this day for her entire life. They danced, laughed, and watched “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” while finishing their hair and makeup. Hannah remembers feeling incredibly calm and relaxed the entire day. She was having the best time and trying to soak in every minute!
The weather outside was perfect. Hannah had had bad luck with the weather not cooperating with her on essential days before (it stormed for her graduation, engagement, and bridal shower!), so she was definitely most nervous about the weather leading up to the wedding! She refused to check the forecast all week because if it was going to storm, she didn’t want to know! When Hannah woke up on her wedding day, the sun shone without a cloud in the sky – it felt like the first sign of the perfect day.
One of Hannah’s favorite parts of the day was doing their first look and reading their vows to each other privately. They both needed to see her (soon-to-be) husband alone and have that time together before the day’s craziness started. Hannah loved reading their vows to each other without the pressure of others watching. It felt like time stood still, and they were in their little world, making promises only meant for each other.
Their ceremony was beautiful. Hannah doesn’t think there was a dry eye in the room. The ceremony followed cocktail hour, more pictures, first dances, then dinner. One memory that will always stick with Hannah is sitting at the head table with her new husband, looking around the room and saying to each other, “Wow, this is so fun.” They continued to make comments like that to each other all night, just periodically looking at each other and saying, “This is so fun,” “This is the best day ever,” “Wow, this is so cool,” etc.
Their wedding day was everything they dreamed it would be and so much more. Hannah knows everyone tells you it will be the best day ever. Still, no words can honestly explain the overwhelming happiness and love you feel in a room filled with every single one of your closest friends and family – all there to celebrate your happily ever after. They could not have had a more beautiful day. It indeed was the best day ever.
