In the morning by 8, the girls were making muffins. Jayden wanted to fix breakfast at the lodge with all the ladies. She originally wanted to fix pancakes, waffles, eggs, and bacon all herself. I had to talk her into something a little more simple on her wedding day. This was her big day and making breakfast for everyone was too much. She is very thoughtful, always thinking of others and wanting to do something special. They had a variety of muffins and yogurt fruit parfaits. Several of the ladies joined us. Jayden also bought items and made gift baskets for all the bridesmaid, grandma's, and Aunt Lori who helped alter her dress. She goes above and beyond to be thoughtful. I called Mark and told him to come out to experience the ranch. Late morning he came out along with Dan and family. They got a ranger ride around and saw some of the ranch and animals. While the guys rode around, the girls were primping and preparing for the big day. I was not well, but I pushed through and wouldn't let myself feel bad. My head was plugged, my nose would not stop running, and my voice was going. I did not slow down, I did not rest, I did not stop, it would not ruin my day. After breakfast, the bridesmaids helped Ester set up the outdoor wedding décor and several helped set up the ceremony chairs. In the Lodge, we set up a charcuterie board for the wedding party to snack on until the ceremony. Levi and Abigail got to know each other and hung out with the wedding party. The girls did their own make-up and each others, then the hairdressers arrived to do everyone's hair at 1:00 The team of photographers arrived at 3. It was such a neat time and the lodge was absolutely perfect for everyone to get ready in. It made for such a fun environment. The photographers and hairdressers were so professional, we felt like VIP. Jayden had hair extensions added to help her hair hold it's shape and curl. It looked amazing with her turquoise clip. Jayden had the turquoise necklace and jewelry picked before she even had her dress. It all looked lovely together. She looked absolutely beautiful as I knew she would!
We had all the family photos taken at the hay feeder made alter. It was just beautiful. I cannot say it enough how amazing the flowers were, all Ester's doing. The wedding party included bridesmaids; cousin Alivia, cousin, Maggie, Maid of honor cousin Jaynie, and Izzie's girlfriend Cynthia. Groomsmen were; Best man brother Izzie, Jake and Luke, friends Tyler and Brady.
