My Wedding!

Everyone at the studio (all of our BDA friends) were so loving and supportive since Mike and I got engaged back in July of 2009! I would have mom's peak their heads into my room and students asking me each week if I had any new wedding details to tell them about, or if I'm getting excited, or how does my dress look, etc.,  which was so wonderful and just made this wedding time that much more special for me!

I have to say I have the most amazing mother in the world! I'm sure most of you know Nanette, but if you don't you'll never meet a better, or kinder, or more generous person than her. As you know from my dances and production numbers, i'm a bit of, I guess, a perfectionist and like to go a bit above and beyond. So if you can imagine, planning my wedding was quite a production itself. I wasn't just a normal bride who picked vendors quickly and easily, and on the first try!  No, we did consultations with about 5 florists before I picked my amazing floral designers, we went to maybe 12 dress shops from here to Massachusetts to New York City, twice (where I finally ended up picking my first dress I tried on from Kleinfelds), we went and watched our band that we chose perform live about 3 times with different people each time to make sure they thought it was the right choice, which the band ended up being the best choice of all, they were phenomenal!! to stationary, we did it all ourselves (invitations, programs, table numbers, place cards, etc....) My mom was by my side for all of these, never complained, never told me I was a crazy person (well once in a while she would imply that lol) and just gave all her support and assistance from the start, not to mention throwing us the wedding of our dreams!! So as I said before I have the best mother in the world, and I'd say the best dance studio owner in the world, since she did all of these wedding things while keeping the studio going. She's always telling people she told me from when I was little I could only get married in the summer when the studio was not in session, and instead I got married during our second busiest time of the year! Love you Mom!

So I promised a few of my BDA peeps that I would put some pictures on the blog if i got any back before we went back to dance and I have, so here you go!! :) My photographer Luke Walker of Clark & Walker Studio's put up a whole blog post of our wedding on his Blog.
