The ladies started out at the Hyatt at 8 to get the hair, makeup and dresses going. Our "stylists" did so well on everyone--everyone looked stunning! We had four hours scheduled for hair and makeup, and the guys had a half hour. It's pretty ridiculous how long it takes women to get ready. It's not fair. Fun, but not fair. #halfhourvsfourhours #thousandsofbobbypins

Kenz had Luca that morning, and she was just across the street at the mall so I had her bring my babe over to say hi. Most of the girls hadn't met him yet, and he wasn't going to come around at all that day, and I was going to miss his little face. He's loved wherever he goes. :) Sylvia and Trina were too adorable with him. Babes ladies. #lucaisthecutest #sylvandtrinaneedlotsofbabies
The groom sent up some flowers for his bride to be that morning, just before the photographer got there. He knows how do to a wedding day! Good job Andrew. #goodhusband
And of course we had to selfie it up in the mirror. However, the best part came just after that when Jules, the photographer, had us stay there and pose just like that so he could get a picture of us taking a picture. He was thorough that man. #fakeselfieforjules
We took pictures for about a half hour at he hotel, all the cutie bridesmaids ones on the bed and everything, and then we headed over to the venue for more pictures, pictures, pictures. But seriously. Pictures were taken until 5. I told you he was thorough. Morgan's going to have so many to choose from! #picturespicturespictures
Trina (Morgan's sister), Morgan, and Joy (her mommy). #beautifulladies
The dress. Huge, beautiful, sparkly, and pink. Exactly what Morgan should have been in, and absolutely nothing less than what she deserved. It was so perfect. She got real good at maneuvering in it all day too, after a couple of hours she had no problem getting around by herself. We helped when we could but it was mainly to keep people behind her from stepping on it, it's hard to keep that distance from a bride! #princessmorgan #finallypeopleunderstand #hugepinkdress #andrewlaughed #itwasperfect
That's Julian the photographer. He was amazing. British, and incredibly personable. We all had nicknames within a few minutes that stuck all day. He cared, and that is definitely something you want in photographer! He also hashtagged along with all the girls, he got brownie points for that. Good choice Morgan!

Holy emotions. This was probably the most emotional part of the day.
Morgan's dad, David, passed away suddenly this past year, and naturally Morgan wanted him to be with her on her day. We pinned a photo of him on her bouquet so he could walk with her down the isle. It was a beautiful and emotional thing to witness these pictures being taken. It just took over the whole room. I don't think there was a dry eye after these. The pictures of this will be ones to cherish. They are going to be beautiful. I only took these as they were getting ready to shoot, the actual ones will be incredible. #prouddaddy
Morgan, I know your dad is so proud of the woman you have grown up to be, and I know he was with you yesterday as you walked to Andrew. There wasn't a better more fitting way to honor him than the ways you did.
Sylvia wanted to climb under the dress for her individual shot with Morgan, at one point we couldn't even tell she was under there, and she had to peek out so people would know! #classic
All the bridesmaids got different colored flowers, which looked absolutely amazing! Trina was green, Sylv was yellow, Annesky was blue, I was purple, and Kel was orange. #colorblockedflowers=genius
Morgan and Andrew exchanged little gifts that day, and Andrew's was spot on. A sweet and humerous card, and some of her favorite snacks. Just what she needed. #heknowshersowell
This is where we got Morgan all into her dress, and these pictures were too awesome not to posts, and creepy all at once. #creepybridepics
This is about how the bride looked all day long. At least until the important people showed up, who didn't get to see her legs. She got her workout carrying all that around. #somanylayers
Her mommy helped put her veil on just before the ceremony started. #tender
Seriously, it was amazing to witness this from the very front of the hall. She never took her eyes off Andrew's her whole way up, or this look of complete bliss. #completefocus
Morgan's brother, Alex got to officiate the marriage and he did so so well. It was classy, touching, thoughtful, funny and of course had an OH-IO moment added in. #OHIOisthebest
The ring exchange. #theyfit!
YAY first kiss as husband and wife!! It's officially official!
Right after the ceremony came cocktail hour for the guests and even more pictures for the bridal party. #smilinghurtsafterthislong
Here's all the bridesmaids together, I'm pretty sure it's the only picture I got of all of us. Plus the flower girl, Molly and her sister Logan, Morgan's junior bridesmaid. #myfeethurtfordays #nomoreheelsforalongtime #allformorgan #weloveher
After pictures and cocktail hour ended I bustled up Morgan's giant train, it took me a good tenish minutes with several attempts at help, but it took me so long to get a groove going in the first place, it was just easier to finish it up. We got it up, it looked fabulous and we headed in. #18bustlebuttons #holylongtime #worthit
The DJ announced us all, and last came the new married couple! #morganandrew2014
Andrew is truly the best sport. He came in and did some beautiful ballet for us all. #proballetdancer
Their cake was beautiful! Gold and ivory and tasted delicious. #nomnomnom
They were even nice to each other and did neat and clean cake feeding. #nothingdirtiesthedress
Dinner was next, and delicious. They had salad, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, parmesan chicken, filet mignon, green beans, and rolls. #delicious!
Trina gave a "short and sweet" toa st, hoped to not cry, but of course did. Wedding days are full of tears! And I love it. It shows how much people care. #cryingisinevitable
Their first dance--choreographed by the groom himself came next. It was super sweet. They are so in love and it just shines out of their faces. #loveyouforever
Just after their dance she tossed her bouquet! I recorded it, but I should have had Kenz take pictures too! #theonlytimeladiesclobbereachotherforflowers
Morgan had all her dancers come and preform a flash mob, to all her daddy's favorite songs. It was awesome! They did so good, and were so sweet to be so willing, but even more because of how excited they were. They were all phenomenal!! The littlest ones especially, super impressive ladies!! Oh. And the bridal party joined in at the end, that was interesting. It turned out well, but oh my, most of the steps were missed. Trina had a solo in the middle which was the best! #ionlymanagedmyendpose #toofast #ohwell
I'm sure your daddy laughed right along and loved every second of this! It's exactly what he would have wanted to be a part of.
See the littlest in there? With all that sass? Perfect. #shetoldmeandannetogetaprivatewithmorgantolearnourflashmobpart
The party went on! I already said this, but seriously Andrew is the best sport ever! He was out there with Morgan dancing all over the place! He loves her I think. #bestsportever
They had a photo booth set up--hello fun! And I couldn't help but take this picture--wonder who's in there?? #mustachesandhugesunglssses
Then the mature adults signed their lives away to each other with their witnesses. It's almost for real officially official--as long as Alex doesn't forget to send that marriage certificate in within the time frame they are good to go. No pressure. #offical #superladylike
Morgan you are seriously the most incredibly person and friend I could have ever asked for. You were an exquisite bride and I can't wait to hear about all your coming adventures and times together. I know you will be happy, and I know you will be the best wife and one day down the road a wonderful mommy. :) thank you thank you thank you for letting me be a part of your special day, it was fabulously perfect!! #iloveyourface #youareaprincess #perfectday
