The preparation

Getting to the venue and getting ready was no easy task. Firstly the check engine light randomly came on in the car my sister and I drove to the wedding site. It was shaking uncontrollably and we were afraid it was going to die before we made the one-hour drive to Asheville. On top of that the rain and moisture was trying to wreak havoc on my hair, my dress was completely wrinkled after being transported in a cramped car with my honeymoon luggage, and some bridesmaids forgot to bring parts of their wedding day attire like the matching jewelry I'd bought them to wear! Someone was looking out for me though. The car made it to the venue (wouldn't start afterwards but DH's parents took it to get serviced and we drove his car to the honeymoon so we were good!), my usually stick-straight hair somehow held up the entire night with the liquid concrete hairspray my stylist used, our wedding venue happened to have a garment steamer to revive my dress, and my cousin who had traveled for our wedding had a pair of pearls in her suitcase that were darn near identical to the ones I had bought the girls. Divine awesomeness at work people :)
