After having dreamed and planned everything since I was 6 years old, it was so different to actually be engaged and have to actually put money into it; because we all know my dreams were too extravagant for my wallet. Vendors really take advantage of brides and grooms and overcharge for everything. Since the entire wedding came out of mostly my wallet, I really had to cut back on certain things me and Zach wanted and just tried to focus on the being married part instead of having a fancy wedding part. I got my gorgeous dress from A Closet Full of Dresses when I went down to Mesa last October, where both my sisters also got their dresses. Even though you're only at the wedding for 3 hours, I loved being able to feel like a bride longer than that by taking bridals back in January with Annie Ruby.
BEN was the one of the many highlights of the day. I hadn't heard from his parents for a week before the wedding and honestly was crying the whole ride up to the church thinking that they'd forgotten or were too busy. As my gorgeous sister and best friend helped me get my dress on, my mom came bursting in telling me Ben was there. I almost collapsed I was so happy! He'd just woken from a nap so he really didn't care for me, but by the end of the night, we were friends again. He was actually quite entertaining the whole time. He took a liking to my little niece who was quite curious about him, he played ran through the arch so many times I lost count, and so many people got to meet him and see just how incredible my sweet baby is.
Those precious moments where Ben interacts with me, especially just me and him one on one, I almost feel whole again. I am so broken, but this little boy just brings me all the joy one could ever have. Having my sister and her family there, plus my sweet husband and my beautiful baby boy and his parents, it's all I could ever ask for. I'm so grateful for everyone that came, even though it wasn't anything grand.
I LOVE BEING A HOUSTON
