Becky & Jarad's wedding

 
 
 




Hip, hip, hurray! The weather was cooler on wedding-day!
It was mild and pleasant. No bright sun to create glares or make us squint in pictures. 
No need to slather on sunblock. 
No uncomfortable heat for the very pregnant matron-of-honor!

The wedding was fun & relaxed. 
There were lawn games (which the kids played with/pulled apart more tan the grown-ups). 
There were pretty flowers & decorations. Yummy food and drinks and pleasant company to talk to. 

I was worried that the weather would be my least favorite part of the day and 
that the maternity spanx I was wearing would be too constrictive. Neither worry became a reality. 
I did have to do a wedding toast which I was nervous about & was really glad to just be done with :)
And despite the fact that it was not hot, the entire time I was standing up front during the ceremony I was sweating and could feel the drips travel down to my elbows. Lovely!
And my hands decided to fall asleep/go numb when I was holding my bouquet in one hand & Becky's in the other. I did not drop them but was really glad when I could pinch my fingers awake more. 
(My hands have been doing that a lot at night this pregnancy but not much during the day).

These pictures are all from Matt's phone. I look forward to seeing the professional shots. 
I had my hair & makeup professionally done that morning so despite being very pregnant I think I looked ok. But the only pictures Matt got of me were during the ceremony and they are side-view. 
That is an angle I very specifically avoided for the professional shots because it is my least flattering. Front-on is fine. Side view looks huge. 
Because this watermelon of a belly is all out front. 
There is no up & down!
