Real Wedding Wednesday ~ Chad and Rachelle Ball 8.1.2010

We have known the Ball family for years, so it was very exciting when we found out their son was getting married.  It was even more exciting to find out that she was just a lovely person, inside an out.  She is always a pleasure to be around.  Rachelle asked Marissa and I to do the makeup for her wedding and we were honored.  Here are a few pictures of the day of.  There are more on our website ~ http://www.bliss-makeup-artistry.com/.  Enjoy!

Real Wedding Wednesday

In honor of my 3 year anniversary the real wedding that I am featuring today is... you guessed it, my own!  Three years ago today I married the best man I know and I am so happy to say that three years later I still love him!  He is perfect for me in so many ways and he is always working to be a better man.  What more could a girl ask for?  He's from Nassau, Bahamas and I'm from Simi Valley, California and we met at a small private college in Valencia, California, who knew?  We had a rough go at it while dating, but we knew if we could make it through that, we could make it through anything.  It has been a wonderful three years and Lord-willing I'm looking forward to many, many more!

Now to a few wedding details.  My colors were Tiffany's Blue and orange.  I know, it sounds a little funky.  But I loved Tiffany's Blue and having a fiance from the Bahamas, he wanted only bright colors (as you can see from the photo on the top right, his family).  I think it was a beautiful combo and different too, just like us!

I would have done a few things differently.  I would have been more involved in the planning.  My mom did a lot of the planning and I kinda just tagged along.  I gave my opinion when needed, but she handled most of it.  I have never been a real girlie-girl so I thought it didn't matter.  But looking back I realize this is the one time in your life that it is all about you and that is okay.  Take advantage of that!  Have fun with it!
