wedding: pretty preparation

so every wedding, believe it or not, actually starts HOURS before the ceremony begins. we started at 7:30 am the morning of our big day. is it bad to admit that i didn't want to get up, and all i wanted to do was sleep for just a little bit longer that morning? because i did. but considering my bridesmaids were compliant enough to show up that morning, i figured that i might as well do them the honor of showing up on time as well.
