Drew Gets His Gift

As I previously mentioned, I gave Drew his wedding present on Friday night at the rehearsal dinner. I had forewarned Brad so that he could be sure to be there to get some photos. Boy, am I glad that I did. Here's Drew's face:

And another take:
Needless to say, he absolutely loved them. For anybody left out in the dark, and I know that there weren't many people, I had some boudoir pictures taken. Boudoir pictures are simply classy lingerie pictures. I used Leah Stafford and she was fantastic!

I pretty much begged Brad to send me some teasers of Drew's reaction so that I could show Leah when I go with Nicole for her pictures. He surpassed my expectations by emailing them to me on Sunday morning! I forwarded them to Leah last night and she loved them. She said that she had never had anybody share with her the pictures of the husband's reaction. I couldn't believe it. I'm really glad she got to see it then.

After I gave Drew the album on Friday night, we were talking about the pictures on Sunday morning and I was telling him all about what had gone on. I told him that Leah had taken a couple hundred photos and he asked me about those. I told him that I them on a cd and told him that I would show them to him later. Fast forward to Sunday night and we were sitting the beautiful Hotel Sofitel and I had just emailed Leah her pictures when I remembered that I had put something in my bag. Little did Drew know, but all those pictures that he had wanted to see...?? Ya, I had already printed them out and put them in an album for him. I tossed it to him on the bed and his eyes got all big. He was so happy!

Anybody that is debating doing this pictures..... DO THEM!!! Not only will your future husband (or even current husband) love them, but you will feel great about them too. Drew recently told me that he wants to blow one of them up and hang it on the wall. Ya, right, like that will ever happen!

From Miss to Mrs.

Well, it's finally here!!!!

I'M GETTING MARRIED TODAY!!!!!!!!

The rehearsal went well last night. It took longer than it was supposed to, but oh well. The dinner was fantastic!!!

I gave Drew his present last night. I did boudoir pictures and had the photographer make an album for him. He loved it!! Our photographer, Brad, was with us for the rehearsal and dinner and he snapped so many pictures. Drew's face was great. I'm so glad that he loved his present. I mean, I knew he would, but I think that he really, really loved it.

I've got about an hour and a half before the girls are supposed to be arriving here. I'm off to get ready! See you all on the other side!!!

To Post or Not To Post

I've been debating about blogging about my experience on Thursday with Drew's wedding present. I started to post yesterday and got about 3/4 of the way through the day and then my mom called so I went to talk to her and walked away from the computer, and Drew wandered over to try to take a peek at what I was doing. I have no idea if he reads this blog or not. And I would hate for him to come on here in his desperation to find out what his wedding present is and find out. Let's just say, that Thursday was amazing. I've received some teasers and they are fantastic. I can't wait to see the rest of it.

I promise that I'll post about the day after I give Drew his wedding present. I think that I'm going to give it to him after the rehearsal dinner before we part ways. Brad, our photographer, is going to be at the rehearsal, so I can let him know that I'm going to be giving Drew his present and he can take some pictures. I can't wait to see Drew's face.

They've Arrived!

David's Bridal called me yesterday and all of the bridesmaid dresses have finally come in. I ran there after work and picked up my sister's and Angela's. Angela stopped over after work and, of course, I made her try it on so I could take pictures.

Without flash:

Anytime something like this happens, something wedding related gets accomplished, I get so excited. I'm happy that all of the dresses are in because now we can start alterations. I want to put my dress back on again!

My pictures are tomorrow. I don't know how I'm going to get through today. Or sleep tonight for that matter. I am so excited!!!
