The morning of the wedding the girls and I had our hair done. Everyone looked so pretty. I was getting a little ancy because I was sitting around so I started to do Mom Tesch, Jenny, myself and Becky's makeup. 
From there we went straight to the Grand Willow to start getting ready. It all went really fast. Right after I put my dress and veil on it was time for pictures. We did the reveal outside. Brad was faced in the other direction and i came up behind him. I love that look that he gives me. I'll never ever get tired of it. We did a few shots outside and people started to arrive so we rushed inside. I feel like we didn't get any pictures so I was sort of bummed. I hope we got a few really great shots. Next thing I know Dad was ready to walk me down the aisle. It was perfect. I walked down the staris to a version of Canon in D in electric guitar. I couldn't get the smile off of my face. Everyone who I love was there to support us. It was beautiful. Marc did an amazing job as our minister. My bridesmaids looked stunning. Their dresses were sooooo pretty. I opted out for the ugly poofy sleeves dress :) Our little flower girls looked so adorable in their little dresses. I can't wait to see the video of the wedding so that I can see what they looked like when they walked down the aisle, everyone said it was super cute because Audrey went back and picked up the petals she dropped. Brad and I wrote our own vows....he truly amazed me with the words of love to me. I've never been so happy. I tried to keep it together while I recited my vows, but it was so hard :) I think he like it though. As we were saying I do, I handed him a piece of carved drift wood that said "I DO".....when brad told me that he loved me I found a piece of drift wood on the beach that said, "Brad loves Nikki" When we had our first big fight I found another one that said, " Always Kiss me Goodnight." When he proposed he gave me one that said, "I want to grow old with you." SO it seemed appropriate to carve one for him. I hope he liked it. After wards it was pretty much a blur....we talked to.....everyone, smiled a lot, and danced. Dinner was good, our cake was yummy, my flowers were perfect. Our first dance was a little tough since brad had three broken toes...ha ha ha. My dance with my dad was really special, he kept the song a surprise from me. All in all, it was.......PERFECT. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful husband, family, and friends. I am so happy to be MRS. TESCH!!!!!!!!

Afterwards Becky and I scrambled to get ready for the Rehearsal and the dinner. The rehearsal went so well, the music was in order, everyone knew where to stand and what to do, and things were set up at the grand willow so I could see the decorations. It was perfect. Just how I always pictured it. 
I made shirts for the kids too, they were super cute. 
Afterwards we went to Johnny Carinos for dinner for yummy italian food. I made bride and groom favor boxes for the night with m&m's they looked really cute on the tables. I'm glad I spent the time to make them, it was a really cute touch. 
We even had Bride and Groom Pimp cups. I couldn't help myself, they were so fun, I had to get them! 
Everyone had a great time and I was super tired so Brandy, Becky, Sister, and I came back to our apartment and stayed the night. It was a lot of fun to hang out with my girls. Brad stayed at Wil's house. I didn't want to see him the night before the wedding.

My Best friend Becky and I at the Corner
We have been best friends since we lived in Iceland, our dad's worked together. We became the popular 6th, 7th, and 8th grade girls in our school. This is us going to prom...we were 8th graders.
No matter how far apart we are we always managed to keep in contact weekly by phone and email. Every year we try to go on a trip together so that we can see each other. We went to a wedding in Key West and slept in a firehouse because we had nowhere to stay, watched the beautiful Key West Sunsets, and created a ton of new memories. 
We went skydiving in Idaho. I visited her home town in Alabama where we made the best of a small town. Partied in Georgia and danced the night away. She came to Washington for my 20th birthday, we partied in Vancouver, B.C. and stayed in a crappy hotel where my car got stolen from and we were stranded. 
She is one of the most important people in my life. I can't wait for her the most important man in my life. I am so excited. I wish she'd get here already! 
I have learned many things about Brad over the past year:
Yes I have my own gun....and yes I am wearing stilletos.
