Wedding Prep. & Wedding Party

The big day was finally here. Us girls rolled ourselves out of bed at 5:00 oclock. Oh, if we could only sleep in for a little longer. I think all of us know a bit of what that feels like. The day before it had snowed all day, so it was very cold out! The night before we stayed up late talking.The guys had earlier tried to throw Justin out in the snow - failed attempt. Lets just say we only got a few (like two) hours of sleep. Anyways, we all grabbed some food and headed out to the car where Dad was waiting. He drove us 20 minutes to the church and dropped us off there.

We started with the girls hair right away. Sarah did an amazing job on the girls!

Jessica did Kaitlyn's hair while she did her sisters hair.

We were all in a goofy mood; laughing at our mistakes instead of worrying about them. 

Jaylon and Hannah were so sweet to go and pick up Star Bucks coffee for us all. 

We started to run a little late, so we were thankful when Hannah showed up to help with the hair.

Jessica was doing such a great job on Kaitlyn's hair. 

I quick curled Jubilee's hair, hoping that it would turn out in a few hours.

Everything was starting to take shape and it started dawning on all of us what was about to take place. Some where filled with excitement with the thought, others had to shed a few tears. I kept myself busy and my mind on what I was doing at the moment, which helped. :)

Jubilee loves new dresses, so when we told her that she was going to get a new dress for the wedding she could hardly wait to see it.  :) 

She loved it!! 

The girls looked amazing in their dresses.

I had the job of pinning on all the boutonnieres and the corsages. Lilia and a few of the other girls helped me out when they could. 

The last touches and everything was looking great!

{the groom and his groomsmen}

I stepped out of the room where the girls were getting ready and found Justin to put on his boutonniere. He looked so handsome all dressed up! I couldn't believe that my little brother was getting married. The day had finally come... It was such a time of mixed feelings of being sad and happy at the same time. 

All the guys looked great!

Tom (Justin's friend), Joshua (Justin's brother), Jaylon (Justin's brother) Luke (Justin's friend) and Nathan (Justin's friend)
