"And may they live to a happy, old age together."

All of the planning, complete.

All vendors, confirmed.

Family safely arrived into town.

Everything in place.

Now the last thing to happen...show up and enjoy.

After the last year of planning it all came down to one date- October 8, 2011. We had agreed that no matter what happened, as long as we were married by the end of the day, it would be a success.

In the morning, the boys gathered for breakfast and headed back to the hotel to get ready for the big day.

The support from the guys, the relaxed environment, and most likely the beer kept everyone calm and allowed Kevin to get ready and arrive to the church.

The ladies had a very relaxing morning at the Liebel household. We had hair and makeup arrive, El Pollo Loco catered, and champagne flowing :)

Time for the dress.

The Ladies who all got me down the aisle that day.

Time for the Ceremony. And please note that there was no communication between Bride and Groom in the morning. The church would be the first time to see and talk to one another.

The nerves and the emotions were boiling up but as soon as the groom was spotted, all in the world felt right.

His reaction.

And we made it.

And of course after a long Catholic wedding, we got to have our first kiss as Husband and Wife.

Then off to the reception, which will be a whole different blog. Just wanted to get some of this posted before more threats :)  This was just a shortened version of such a long and fun morning.

And some group photos from the church:
