Cadie & Landon's Wedding

The wedding was on July 1st at 7 pm. The girls had to be at the venue early for hair and makeup. We left Port Allen around 7:00 am. Here is the schedule for the day:

Cadie had us a little gift waiting in the room

The hair and make up weren't there and it was getting close to 9:00 am. There was a miscommunication on the time and they came after 11:30 am. We walked around the venue while we were waiting.

Hair and makeup got set up. I was first to do make up.

I went for the full eyelashes. I've never had my makeup done before. I was happy with it, even though it was a lot at first.

Mrs. Candice brought us Chic Fil a for lunch

The electricity went out when it was raining. Cadie was getting her make up done.

Gianna was getting her hair done. It didn't last long once we were on generator power. The water well wasn't working so the water was off also.

I did Gianna's makeup myself
