I DO- Getting Ready

Getting ready for our BIG day was so great! It was fun, relaxing, stress free for the most part, and filled with great friends and Champagne! Who could ask for more?! When I was planning out how we would all get ready I knew that I waned all of the girls- family and friends to be together. I didn't want to not see some of my friends until right before the ceremony! Having them all there with me was very calming! I hired hair and make up from Charlotte to come to our bridal suite in Asheville to beautify us all!I wanted to share some pictures and memories from getting ready for the biggest moment of my life!
