Prepare yourself because this is a long one.  And let me tell ya something the Mac Book is not blogger friendly or maybe it's the end user but here it is folks.

Wedding Week Recap....

Kirk & I headed to GB America on Wednesday afternoon. The jeep was packed to the max...wedding dress & all.  Believe it or not I didn't forget a thing.

We even managed to fit two pups in the jeep.

On our way to get married...all smiles!

The next day I was up bright and early for a practice hair due.  I was lucky enough to drag Megs along & Abby did a great job.  Veil is on & starting to feel like a bride!

My dancin hair look...

Next on the agenda was nails & toes.  Miss Lori was absolutely fabulous...and Axium or Shallack is totally the way to go these days.

Then on to check on the Knights of Columbus & how it was all coming along.  So glad that I did not have to partake in decorating.  Have I ever mentioned that I am absolutely TERRIBLE at decorating.

Day Friday started off with meeting Meg and my sistas and niece for manis & pedis.

Hey Goofballs...

Pretty Megs

Denise...check out that spray tan (thanks Meg)

How cute is she...                        

Mother & Daughter

After the manis & pedis I hit up the Page with all my girlfriends to get ready for Rehearsal Dinner.  At this point I was starting to get a little nervous so nothing like meeting up with your favorite people to have some drinks.

Rehearsal went smoothly and then we all headed to Delgados for dinner.  OMG it was soooo good....it's pretty much a GB thing but I believe it's the best Mexican food ever!  On Saturday I couldn't breathe or eat all day and the only thing that sounded good was more Delgados.

My Besties before Rehearsal...

Ethan & Kirk...E lights up every time he sees him!

Have I ever mentioned how HOT my friends are?? :)  I believe there was a rumor going around that God was a very happy man at the Rehearsal....

And how much I LOVE her?!

And last but not least how much I LOVE my fam!

And here is where the trouble begins.  We I thought it was a great idea to go out afterwards.  I told Lisa that we would just need to leave at you know midnight.  Well midnight rolls around and then 12:30 rolls around and the rest is history.  ATTENTION all Future Brides- do NOT try this for your wedding.  Trust me.  But I had fun.  Oh and ask my hubs what he chose to do that night.  Bach Party number 2?? More to come on that.

Groom and Groom's Dad...can ya tell?

My Bad Ass MOH and she's been quite the wild one lately :)




















I believe we have been over-served...                                                  

So after a night of fun at Charlies Wedding Day was finally here.  I woke up bright and early Saturday ready to rock & roll.  Our morning started at 8am with some Champagne & McD's breakfast burritos.  We are the classiest :)

Flower Girl...

Meg maybe a tad bit hungover...

Me & Toots

Me and Denise

Cal my love

Almost Mrs. Calhoon!!!

Next stop was the church...time to get this show on the road.

Oh my dress...I was absolutely in LOVE with it.  But here is the thing....my alterations lady who was absolutely amazing told me when I saw her about 2 weeks before the wedding to pretty much not eat.  Like no sodium & no soda.  Ok well no eating just doesn't work for this chick....I LOVE food.  No sodium...WTH.  I did however give up my Diet Coke for about 2 solid weeks.  I might have had one here or there but no route 44's from Sonic.  But back to the dress...did I mention that I loved it?!  Did I mention that it was tight as hell and my alterations lady was not kidding when she told me not to eat.  Did I also mention that I had PHB (Pizza Hut Buffet...read here if you need to know more) the first night I was home and might have went through the line like twice.  Oh and that I had a ton of Mexican food the night before...hey fatty!!!  But after 3 girls later the dress was on.  I was a little concerned freaking out that it was not going to fit but it did.  I may not have been able to PEE all DAY LONG or sit all DAY LONG but pain is beauty or so they say!  Oh man did it feel good to get that thing off ;)

My gorgeous Mother....she should seriously be an event planner because she was AMAZING!

Check out these hotties!!!

Pretty Em

Check out this Flower Girl pose.  Can she get any dang cuter and I also told her I would buy her whatever she wants if she was a good girl.  Her response was "I have to think about it." Then about 2 minutes later she told me she would love a doll house.  Welp a doll house it is!  Does this give you any idea of what kind of parent I'm going to be?! And another shout-out to my mama because this dress was made with love...like no pattern made with love.

I love this pic

The most amazing B-MAIDS a girl could ask for....

Handsome boys & check out how much M loves her new Uncle Coco

The Penka girls...

Oh and lets not forget about the fact that Kirk thought the night before his wedding was Bach Party #2.  So we got to the church at 11 and I still hadn't talked to Kirk which I thought was normal except for the fact that he wasn't there yet and was suppose to be there with all of his groomsman at 11.  And he knows I'm super anal about being on time.  So I wasn't freaking out yet but by 11:45 and still no Kirk I was freaking out.  Pics were to start at 12 and his phone was dead and no answer.  So finally at 12:15 he answers his phone and he is on his way.  I might have been was bridezilla but seriously where the hell is the groom.  I later find out that day that he didn't go to bed until 3am.  Him and Carson (g-man) shared a hotel room & apparently shared a bed (sweet right) and when his other much more responsible groomsman could not wake them up by banging on the hotel door they decided that they would go grab a hotel maid to do the trick.  So after my irresponsible almost no show of a hubs showed up everything else went pretty dang good!

The actual ceremony went wonderful.  My dad got me down the isle and got me to my groom.  The day, the weather, the everything was absolutely perfect and would not have changed a thing.  Here are a few more pics.  Thanks to all my family and friends who made this day absolutely wonderful.  We love you ALL!!!!  And sorry for the LONGEST post ever!

Just a few more pics I promise...

This was the funniest thing ever...right before Pastor Tom started the sermon I hear Mama "help!" TOOO FUNNY!!

Mr. & Mrs. Calhoon

I love you Husband.  I love our "Happily Ever After."
