Wedding recap

Where do I begin? What a spectacular day! My bobby pins are out and we are home resting and reminiscing.
Neither Nate nor I were particular nervous as such. I had allot of fun throughout the day. It was when I was standing with my dad waiting to walk that I began getting apprehensive about seeing Nates face because I knew, without a doubt I would cry tears of joy that our dream day was actually here.

After our mind blowing successful rehearsal party for 35, that would not have happened without Cyndee, Jimmy, The Ritchies, Jan and my parents...Nate went on his merry way to sleep over at Ruben and Renee's house and my parents and I went back to Nate's and my humble abode for some beauty rest.

NATE:
His morning started glamorously with gormet breakfast cooked by none other than chef Hiller from The Four Season...then he was off to surf for the day. Waves were perfect and according to his friends he "killed it!" He checked into our little hotel down the street from Madera's with his groomsmen and proceeded to get ready for his big day.

ANG:
My morning started slow...I slept in, took a short shower, had a basic breakfast and with my mom waited for our ride with Andrea to get our hair done. Shaye at Vanity Hair in Solana Beach did a magnificent job of translating my exact thoughts and pictures of what I wanted. I couldn't have asked for more. It was so much fun because Cyndee was there and Jessica came a bit later...we were all out by 12:30. It was time to hussle...eat...cleanup and get over to Maderas by 3:30.

Without everyones help in fetching, carrying, loaning, setting up...The wedding would never have been the success it was! THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH!

I will do a vendor list and rating in another post. But I have to sing my largest praises for the photo booth people. They were so sweet and fun and helpful, and the memories made from that booth are priceless.

From 3:30pm until 4:30pm my dear girlfriend Lisa did my makeup in the cute little bridal room. We had fun catching up and giggling, and as always she never ceased to amaze me with her talents. I looked in the mirror and couldn't even believe that was me staring back!

I remember most everything that happened which apparently is rare. I remember walking with my dad, and hearing my breathe with the processional song Andrea Bocelli "Con Te Partiro". I remember the first face I saw was Kelsey as she videotaped. Then in the back row my friend Renee, so sweet smiling at me. Then I saw Nate. He looked like the most handsome man on the planet in his Hugo Boss suit waiting there for me and smiling. Our minster for Church of the Hills. Gave a very meaningful beautiful service from the word. Nate and I wrote and read our own vows. I know Nate had written his about 6 times in the last few days and I had know idea what to expect. He told me he was not very good at writing and didn't know how to express all he felt. Well you can ask anyone seating at our wedding. They had to have been the most precious unique, love filled passionate vows ever to be heard.

I am not certain exactly how the cocktail hour progressed as Nate and I proceeded to photographed on Madera's beautiful golf coarse by Mariah Baddas and her wonderful team.

The reception in the Del Lago Ballroom began promptly at 7pm. Nate's Thank speach was very sweet. He didn't miss a single person and was sincere as humbled by everyones love. We ate and danced all night. My only regret is that there were several faces I would see at a distance that I never got to talk to and then they were gone. We had a total of 105 guests.
