My pictures are going to be mixed in with Randys on this post, so I will let you know which ones are Randys (although, I think it will be pretty obvious.) Plus, for some reason some of mine are showing up sideways even though I corrected them in Photobucket
Here are some pictures from the night before the wedding when I gave Kris his gifts. Another minor thing that had happened is that he accidentally forgot my gift back in Ohio. Thankfully, one of his friends was able to overnight it to him on Saturday and it arrived the afternoon of the wedding. He gave it to me at the dessert party, so youll hear about that later. I bought him University of Michigan cufflinks since we had met at school there. He actually wears cufflinks with some of suits, so I knew this was something that he could use again. I also got him the Game Over shirt as a joke since he loves video games.
The original plan the night before the wedding was for all of us girls to stay together. Two of my bridesmaids were super tired and couldn't stay up any longer, so they went back to their rooms with their families. Marquitta, Patriece, and I still ended up staying together. Patriece and I went to bed unofficially around 12:30 a.m. Marquitta was up almost all night working on her hair, nails, and steaming her dress. She really is an amazing woman and goes without sleep a lot- I think it comes from all those late nights in college studying! I was having a little trouble falling asleep, so I ended up asking her to draw the little curtain between the sink area to help block out some of the light.
When I woke up I was surprisingly calm. This day was a long time coming and I wasn't nervous at all. We got up at 5:15 a.m. and I jumped in the shower before Anna arrived. (Randy)
Anna was scheduled to do my hair and makeup along with my mom. Kris' cousin was coming to do Judi's hair and of course Marquitta and Patriece had done their own. I had forgotten a button-up shirt, so I ended up putting on my P&P sweatshirt.
Here is a first look at how I looked that morning, not very bride-like yet

As you can see our room was a wreck! (Randy)
While we were getting ready Marquitta ran over to get a picture of Kris. She actually had to deliver a few items that were supposed to be transported in the limo with the guys too. We were sending over the CD player that we had borrowed from my cousin who works at Epcot and the parasols that I had ordered to use for pictures that day. As a side note, we were using the CD player since we literally only had 5 songs that needed to be played on it between the ceremony and the reception, so it was easier than the iPod setup and it didnt cost us anything extra!
Kris was actually in our friends room right next store, so we were careful that he didnt catch a glimpse of me as people were going in and out of the door.
The day before the wedding Mousekeeping had left a surprise in our room, but I didnt get to see it until the day of the wedding.
After Anna finished my hair, I took a break to get something to eat. Judi had been such a sweetheart and had bought bagels with cream cheese and donuts for all of us the day before. I wasnt super hungry, but didnt want to get sick later on. While I was eating, my dad came in and gave me a gift. It was a really cute Angel pin with a poem to Daddys Little Girl. I will post pictures of it, I forgot they were on my moms camera and I dont have the images in Photobucket yet.
Thanks again for the help.

It's funny that you mentioned that about the event planning. I used to do a lot of events through organizations when I was in college and my DH keeps bugging me about getting into it, I guess if you ever need anyone let me know

Our limo was scheduled to arrive at 7:45 a.m.
You have one of those smiles that lights up a room! Your makeup and hair looked so perfect, too! I am so glad to hear your friends took care of making sure you ate something and that you had your morning diet coke!
