Weddings are sooooo much fun and the memories last forever. I love the picture with the city in the background and the cowboy boots. We want to see you next.
Sooooo LOVE the boots under the bridal gown! Isn't it nice to have such wonderful men as sons? I ADORE mine & know you do yours! Have a great week & rest up! That mother of the groom stuff is hard work! Charlene
God bless her mother for being able to provide a breakfast like that on her daughter's wedding day! You'll have to tell us if the airbrushing stays on all day and when will it be available over the counter. ; )

What a wonderful time Jane. I can't wait to hear more and see the photos!
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! Congrats to the bride and groom. Ahhh, young love. BTW- you won. YAY. Send me an email with the address you would like your goodies sent to. Yay oh yay.
Wonderful pics! Loving the boots. I'm a cowgirl at heart and love western wear even though I don't wear it a lot anymore. What fun you all must have had getting the royal treatment and a yummy meal to top it off. Can't wait to see more photos! Take care, Connie
HI!!! HOW FUN!!!Getting girls together and getting all fussed over, so much fun!!! I love doing that, when My daughter got married we did the same thing, can you believe all the make up an Artist uses?????I have just a small bag for me!!! have a great day hugs, jamie
Oh such great pics Jane! Love the boots, the girls all getting together, what fun! Can't wait to see pics of you too! What is airbrushing? I know I need some of that!!! Hugs, Cindy
Love a farmhouse theme. I know it was a lovely wedding and bride beautiful. I bet you're still floating on a wedding high. Can't wait to view pictures.
Gee I wonder how much it would cost me to have myself air brushed every morning Jane. That would be awesome I think. This looks like a fun time getting all prettified. I can't wait to see more of the wedding. sending hugs from here...
Weddings are so much fun! I love the boot...so cute. What a beautiful bride. Looking forward to seeing more and catching up. Thanks for visiting Blondie....XO Linda
Janie! What a beautiful Chicago day for your son and his gorgeous bride! You must have been floating all day! I love the theme and Mary Clare's attention to detail! I am so looking forward to the rest of this sweet story! ~Lynne [w/L]
I love the photo with the skyline in the background! I'm so glad you made it through. I know how exhausting the event can be. Hope you're taking it easy!
Greetings! I can't believe your son's wedding has passed and I finally got over here to see all of your photos! They are all wonderful! I actually started with your latest post and saw all that I missed and then came to the wedding photos. I was hoping to see your dress, since I remember your post where you showed it! Well, I hope you will get one from the photographer to show us. I'm sure you looked lovely. I have one more post to see... the one before this one, of the rehearsal dinner! I wish your son and his wife love and happiness and the wedding looked magical. Best, Gloria
[Image]I'm still alive! The wedding is over and I am so happy to share pictures with you. I have so much to show and tell, I'll do a few small posts. These photos were taken by the photographer and I was able to copy them off Facebook {I hope that's not illegal}. They were taken along Lake Michigan with the gorgeous skyline of Chicago in the background.
[Image]Keeping up with the Farmhouse theme, the bride wore her cowboy boots.
[Image]We all met at Mary Clare's house to have our hair and makeup done. The girls doing the beautification all work for Mary Clare's sister, Katie, at her salon downtown. Here is a bridesmaid getting her hair done by a stylist.
[Image]The bride discussing her hairstyle, which she wore long and curled.
[Image]These are the toolboxes with all the implements to change us from pretty to gorgeous! Everything was air brushed, which was a new experience for me. It makes you look flawless. We all had a little help in the eyelash department and it looked so cool. Just a tiny bit of mascara is used before the little clumps of lashes are adhered. They look SO natural. I didn't take mine off until this morning. ;-D
[Image]The bride gets the finishing touches to her pretty face.
[Image]And what would a gathering of girls be without food to nosh on? Peggy, the bride's mother laid out a spread of egg casserole, fruit and cheese, and Dunkin Donuts coffee.
[Image]More refreshments to add to the festive occasion. Oh, we had a good time.
I wore my hair like Adele, of course {did you see her on the MTV Music Awards last night?}, poufed up on the top and pinned back with a long section down. Emily wore hers pulled to the side in a long ponytail and Abby had hers in a low bun. After all of this I headed home and had enough time to put on my dress and jewelry and have a quick cup of coffee before heading to the church. I didn't take pictures of the mass or ceremony but I used my cell camera afterward and I will share more pictures soon. :-)
