Here are some things that I remember from the Best Day EVER.
The girls and I all had our hair and make-up done with Jessica Lee at Hair Day in K-town. There were several other bridal parties there that day. My bridesmaids were, by far, hands down, without a doubt, the prettiest ones there.

I was stung by a wasp. It was my first time being stung by anything and it hurt. I didn't know how I would react and like a pro Mamta quickly called Scott who picked up some allergy medicine for me. Luckily I didn't need much of it. However, our photographer's assistant, who is allergic to peanuts, had mistakenly eaten one and was throwing up on the lawn. Fortunately Mamta and Scott were on the scene and swiftly administered the allergy medicine. The assistant recovered and was fine. Bill commented that this would be a great selling point for Dr. Scott. He's a hero... a hero to the ladies.

Hearing the crowd giggle as people started to recognize the Thong Song. As I walked by the string trio, they too were smiling and gave me a wink. I heard a really loud laugh. I think it was Dino.

The biggest groomsmen Alex cried more than anyone at the wedding. Later that night Alex pointed to a cute blond girl and drunkenly and loudly whispered to Ryan (Bill's brother & best man)
Alex: "You should hit that"
Ryan: "That's my cousin!"
Alex: "Ayyyy" (while shrugging)

Receiving a phone call from Brian the night before the wedding. He sounded so tired but his voice message was simple and comforting. In HS we used to call each other before/after a big trip or dance to wish each other well. I don't know if he remembers doing it back then but he would always call and it made me happy.

At rehearsal dinner the night before, Rick (a groomsmen) was wearing a crisp new white button up shirt. He was sitting outside the Blue Water Grill when Bill's Grandma Dorothy pulled up. As a joke he let her know that he was valet on break. At the rehearsal dinner there was a picture of Bill and me in Kauai. Guests were invited to sign the picture. As Rick was signing the picture, Grandma Dorothy hurried pulled me aside and said "I think the valet is signing your picture!"

Groomsman Jan had a tooth extracted the day before the wedding. He was a real trooper and was there with us every step of the way.

Hearing 20 people sing along with the lyrics to Bel Biv Devoe's song Poison.
It's driving me outta my mind. That's why it's hard for me to find. Can't get it outta my head. Miss her, kiss her, love her..... - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
My cousins Katie, Jennifer, & Phoebe doing the Soulja boy dance. It made us feel old.

It was really fun walking around in my wedding dress especially because my bridesmaids were so attentive and always tried to help me pick up my dress so it wouldn't drag on the floor. This made me want to walk around really fast and in circles.

Hugging Doris and Stella before leaving for the night.

Laughing really hard because Garret threw a fistful of ecofetti into Bill's mouth.
