Ok...I know its been almost 4 months but here it is:
The Wedding!
So...here are a couple things I need to clear up before I get started...
1. No one had any idea we were getting married...Matt told everyone we were getting together so he could propose. So all the people that were AT the wedding had no idea A WEDDING was going to happen...everyone was under the impression we were only getting engaged
Ok thats all I needed to clear up...I think there was some confusion.
So, the morning started off with me lying saying I was going to eat breakfast with Matt's family.
But really I had a 10 something hair and make-up apartment.
(the whole time my family and his family thought Matt was taking me on a day of fun before I was going to get surprised engaged...but really they were in for the surprise)
So I woke up the day of the wedding and told my sisters and mom that I was going to eat lunch with the Brinker's
They Thought: I was getting proposed to that night...
BUT REALLY: I had a hair appointment at 10, pictures at 4, wedding at 7.
Before I left to meet up with Matt, they were trying to get me to fix my hair, put on make-up, wear something nice.
"Don't Matt's parents get dressed up and go to brunch?"-Harriet Konrad
Matt picked me up and we had to go to my hair and make-up appointment. The lady did an AMAZING job. Matt and I were really happy.
After that, we had a lot of time to kill...but we couldn't go back home. So we ate some kolaches...went and took a couple pictures of me at Memorial Park. Then went and checked into our hotel early because we were bored.
The hotel couldn't let us check-in early so we sat in the lobby trying NOT to get on facebook or text anyone.
We had a lot of free time on our hands...so we just hung out. Finally we could check in to our hotel room and get ready to take some "engagement/pre-married" pictures with our photogs.

Our photographers came to the hotel then the 4 of us ventured out to downtown Houston to take pictures.
**Those guys were our photographers...They were seriously, amazing!! I would recommend you use them! I am going to use them over and over...not sure for what yet, but our next big thing, they are gonna be there!**
OK here are some of us getting ready...
So fast forward to the "engagement"...
Matt and I show up what we thought was early...to find out EVERYONE was there!
So I stood outside pretending to NOT know what was going on while Matt went in to take care of our family and what-not.
I sat and waited...and waited because MICHELLE BRINKER was late...but thats ok.
SO FINALLY it was time.
Matt took me into the room with our whole family and got down on one knee. Although Matt had already asked to marry me, I could not help but to cry. It was so beautiful.
So after he asked me, we both looked at each other and decided to reveal the REAL news.
We told our family "we've actually been engaged for a couple months, you are not at the engagement party...you are at the wedding...we are getting married in the next room!"
there was a pause...and then this:
Then we change clothes...and move into the next room where we got married..
The rest...i'll just show in pictures....
SKYPE
OK i'll add more later...its bedtime.
