Love me like you do : { First Look }

I've been dying to share these with everyone but, I waited until the wedding was over so that I didnt spoil the big dress reveal! As I mentioned in previous posts, we did our First Look at our venue, Wadley Farms.

It was a beautiful evening and everything went as I hoped.

Although showing your groom your dress before your wedding day could be taboo to some, it is a very popular thing to do now. Lots of brides are having photographers or even videographers shoot their "first look" as they reveal their wedding dress to their beloveds. I personally felt a little conflicted about it but, I knew that the wedding day was going to be so hectic and I wanted to also be sure that Cole and I had enough pictures of the two of us.

Julie, my mother in law, helped me into my dress in the bride's room, and Cole got dressed in the groom's room. I was so nervous and had the craziest butterflies walking out to the garden where Cole was waiting for me. As I walked through the garden, my heart was pounding and I couldn't seem to steady my knees, which were shaking. This was a moment I had dreamt about for months. The moment my future husband sees me in the dress; the dress I will walk down the aisle in.

My photographer gave Cole the signal. He turned around and Cole gave me that smile. The smile that every girl deserves to see from her man. The smile that says, You are the most beautiful thing Ive ever laid eyes on. The smile that says, I love you more.

I've never felt more lucky or more beautiful than I did in that moment.
