Ready for more pictures? Of course you are!

The first step to getting some formal shots of my ladies, my family, and I was getting downstairs. First, we played runway in the hall.Tyra Banks, eat your heart out.

With the hallway thoroughly walked, we somehow all got onto the elevator. How we did this is still a mystery to me.

Once we got to the lobby, it was time to exit and climb a mountain.No no. I wasn’t kidding. I climbed a serious mountain in heels and had to be hiked up it by a couple of my bridesmaids. Thanks ladies!

It was then time to get the photos started. We started with some basic bridal shots first.As vain as this sounds, I am so glad I did the Jillian Michael’s workout beforehand. My arms look so much better than they did in our engagement photos.

After a bunch of shots of me, we started to do some shots with each of my girls. In retrospect, I wish these weren’t as serious, but I still love them.Okay, so the photos with MOH Sister Library weren’t as serious as the others. Sister Library added so much artistic beauty to our wedding. I’m so glad she made her talents available to us!Miss Sox was such a help with everything from venting to bouncing ideas off from her to running secret missions to just holding my purse when I had my hands full. Love her!My farthest away bridesmaid, Bridesmaid Al was there to be an ear on the phone any time I needed her. I cried when I saw her when she drove in the driveway, and I sobbed when she left for Walla Walla again.Bridesmaid C and I were roommates for all four years of college. I wouldn’t have survived without her. I am so excited to be watching her plan her own wedding to Boyfriend A now!Cousin/Bridesmaid As did so much for me, and I’m not sure if she realizes it. She was there for our Running of the Brides extravaganza and wouldn’t let me settle on just any dress. She was a serious trooper.E and A were adorable. They stole the show and then some, and I couldn’t have asked for better behaved children!

With our individual photos done, we got together for a few thousand group shots.

My parents were up next. Mom Library has been asking for a family picture for years, so this was our chance to get a really good one.I love my parents more than anything. They sacrificed so much for my sister and I growing up, and Dad Library even picked up a second job to pay for the wedding. They are the best, and I couldn’t do it without them.

With our formal shots done, we climbed back down the hill, where I almost rolled an ankle and laughed the whole time,stopped to figure out where our chariot was meeting us in the lobby,and then our wedding officially left the building!With a quick shot of Sister Library with her date,we were on our way to find Harry.
