May 10th, 2008 

An incredible day. When i woke up on May 10th, I went running. In the rain. And I knew that even if it rained all day.....it was going to be amazing.....
and it was. Simply amazing!
 
It did rain. Pretty much all day. Yet I couldn't have asked for a more perfect day to marry my best friend. Please credit 
the amazing Bradley Jensen! He was such a trooper! ;) 








 
Getting Ready!

The girls and I all met at Salon Platinum at 8am to have our hair done! 


Cindy, my hairstylist since I was 12 did my hair. She is amazing. I love her. We never even had a trial run. And I had no idea what I wanted. So we just came up with it on the spot!


Here we are deciding what to do. It was rainy so we didn't want a half/up half/down. We decided all up! 

My mom, Mother in law, and future sister in law getting her hair done. 

Woah.....im getting married! 

Kelly, my best friend......she is adorable. I didn't tell the girls what to do with their hair. The hairstylist just did whatever. And it came out great! 

Shoes! 

My adorable flower girl! 



My other sister in law.

This was a really cool time. I decided that on my wedding day I would get some one on one time with all of my siblings! I ran in the morning with my brother and had my make up done with my sister. It was really cool!
