Jessie and David's Wedding Day Part I

4/10/2011

GOOD MORNING Chicago, it's a beautiful day! The sun is shining- oh wait. 

But sunshine or no sunshine, nothing could ruin this day. 
Picture
No matter what the sky looks like,  nothing could taint a view like this.

On our way up to the bridal suite for beautification, we brought bottles of champagne from our hotel room that some of the girls were nice enough to purchase. 

When I arrived in the room, I had zero makeup on and sported an afro. Jessie told me at about 9:30 that morning that I need to wash and dry my hair before it got styled. When I dry my hair and don't use a straightener, it looks very funny. I didn't take any photos, but the photographers were kind enough to take a bunch of them. 
Picture
For Jessie, the beautification process started at 9:30 am (for a 7 pm service). She actually had to be ready by about 1 for pictures, so she needed the time. 
Picture
I got started on my makeup at 10:30. I have to find her business card that she gave to me, because she is outstanding. I'll give her a shout out. She's also friends with one of my bestie's moms. 

My friend and fellow bridesmaid Alex got started on her hair at the same time as I started my makeup. 
Jessie's makeup took a good hour. Her meema (grandma) came up to the suite to get her hair "fluffed up".

Me and Alex, with our hair and makeup complete. I was obsessed with my makeup, considering the fact that I haven't gotten it done since I was about 16. Also, Jessie gave her bridesmaids velcro towels to get ready in. I will use it again and again! They are so practical.

The mother of the bride, Rene, was crying all day. Her eyes were swollen, so she held cucumbers from our lunch platter on them. 
Picture
Jess looked absolutely stunning.

One of the two flower girls, Emma, stood by her mommy while she got her makeup done.

She got her hair done in the suburbs, and they put gold tinsel in her hair. She was so excited to put on her dress.

    I am  a Chicago-based Registered Dietitian working primarily in Acute Clinical Care. I started this blog in 2010, before I even knew that I wanted to be an RD! Now, as an active dietitian, this blog will become part of my life again. Read about my current healthy habits, but please peruse my old posts (from 2014 and before) to read about life as an RD student and my previous years in Australia!
