Words were floating on the breeze...

The last post I did before the weddin was on Friday 08th. I was not too nervous but was anxious. Of course, we always think about everything and if all will be fine.

Amazingly, I had a glorious sleep night. I slept very well and woke up fine. At morning I just kept doing all my beauty chack list. And so this was the whole day! Yes, I worked for a whole year to let everything just perfect in the Big Day, so, I deserved to have a quiet and peaceful beauty day!

Had lunch and went to Beauty Studio have a massage a shower of petals and make my make-up and hair!

For about 4 pm I was really calm. Just waiting for my hair stylist and so I had a small meal. After that, I was nervous. Not because the moment was getting close, but because my hair stylist was driving me crazy She was nervous and so was putting me down.

She did my hair and then my make-up. I loved both. Was exactly the way I wanted. Then people helped me to dress myself... oh, God... I still don't know till now how was possible to sit down with that dress! And then the driver took me to the Church!

At that moment I was nervous. Really... More when I got in front of the Church. I was there, seeing my brother and my sister. My parents. My future husband. In few minutes I would be his wife and we'd have a family.

When I saw him, seemed my entire body shaked... And I felt worse when I saw the Priest, in the middle of the Church, talking to my guests and my organizer. I thought 'Oh My God'... He's causing problems. That was first came to my mind. My organizer talked before that every time she had to make a wedding in Saint Rita's Church she had problems with the Priest there. And I remembered what she told and guessed she was having problems again... in my wedding... I wanted to cry. But I turned my face to the other side and thought 'I won't look... if I look, I won't control myself... I can't cry now...' And so I did and controlled myself. In some minutes I saw the ceremony starting.

First, the brothers and sisters (from both side, we chose as our bridesmaid. In Brazil, the concept of 'bridesmaid' is totally different. We don't choose just the best bride's friends, but people from both sides. In our case, I chose my brother and his wife, and my sister and her husband. And my fiancé chose his sisters and husbands. We guessed it better. Family is family after all.) Then, my mom and Francis' dad entering. And Francis and his aunt entering (he chose his aunt to enter with him. His mom is not alive anymore for 4 years...)

Me... nervous... in the car... You can imagine the scene...

So, my organizer called me and said I could get out the car. My dad came and took my hand... For my surprise, my dad was totally fine (which I thought it could be a problem. In the essay day, on Thursday, he was totally nervous and I thought he could have some problem in the ceremony. I was afraid for him) and so, photos and videos started... I was feeling a star!!

We stopped in front of the door. Waited some moment, and then the doors were opened. The Church and my guests. My friends. Family. People I love and love me were there. I didn't cry. I controlled myself all time. Thanks God!!! But I was nervous. And I tried not to look to people directly... ok, you can imagine how stressfull this moment can be, specially those who have already passed through this...

When I met my love, I saw he was more nervous than me. He was almost white! Serious. Worse than me. But the ceremony was fine. Fast, funny and great. I got ok after the entering. I guess it's because when you are entering the Church, you're exposed to everyone and when you're up there, with your back to people, it's better. You can almost forget that people are there and you relax. At least for me as like that. And I was fine. We said 'yes' and signed the papers. Took lots of photos! And when we were getting out the Church, people 'gave a shower' of rice in us!!

Was great! I got lots of fun! I loved that moment! After that we got into the car and waited about 20 minutes, through the city untill the guests could arrive in the buffet house, so we could go there too.

The songs I chose for my wedding, most of you could have see in my blog. I have listened to them for the whole year but I always tried not to tell in what moments those songs would be played.

Now I give you my ceremony playlist:

01 - Ashram - 5 Steps - For the entering of our brothers and sisters
02 - Ashram - Il Monstro - For the entering of my fiancé
03 - Ashram - For My Sun - For the entering of the bridesmaid (here we use children to enter with the rings and roses... who were my daughter and my nephew)
04 - Chopin - Estudio en E Major - Lento Ma Non Troppo - For my entering
05 - Elvis Presley - Love me Tender
06 - Frank Sinatra - The Way You Look Tonight
07 - Frank Sinatra - Moon River
08 - Frank Sinatra - Wave

These last four songs were used to the signatures. This moment while people are signing we use to take photos too. That's why we need more songs to it.

And for get out of the Church, I chose:

Elvis Presley - Can't Help Falling In Love With You

The moment we were getting out, walking through our friends and our hearts were joined forever!

I'm writting this post and remembering all the moments we lived that night... I started to cry right now... Was a great moment and I'm happy that everything was fine.

The party comes next post!

But there are so many things in my mind that I couldn't!

I just come here now, in this post, to say goodbye for few days!

See you in 12 days when I come back!

Love you all!




Wish me luck!

to my wedding!!

Here is the invitation!





Opening...





And to give a better idea of what is written and what is the theme, here I put the image in b&w. My invitation is in golden color, with the paper a little shinning... well, the seller told the paper was imported (from where I don't know) because of the quality that is pretty much better! I sincerely think that they do this just because $$$!!! So, they say 'it's from USA', or from England, or from anywhere else, so, we pay much more!





The theme is Cinema! When I saw this invitation I was completely crazy for it! It's so my fiancé's like!!! And the images we used to put in the invitations you already know them, they're at Opera. We took a quote from a movie: "Sometimes the better way to find yourself is loosing yourself in someone's life!" from the movie "Tara Road" (2006). I never saw this movie, but I liked the quote.

And so now, you, my friends from Opera are oficially invited for mywedding. August 09th!

Aretha Franklin - I Say A Little Prayer For You.mp3







I Say a Little Prayer For You - Aretha Franklin


The moment I wake up
Before I put on my makeup
I say a little prayer for you
While combing my hair, now,
And wondering what dress to wear, now,
I say a little prayer for you

Forever, forever, you'll stay in my heart
and I will love you
Forever, and ever, we never will part
Oh, how I love you
Together, together, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me.

I run for the bus, dear,
While riding I think of us, dear,
I say a little prayer for you.
At work I just take time
And all through my coffee break-time,
I say a little prayer for you.

Forever, forever, you'll stay in my heart
and I will love you
Forever, and ever we never will part
Oh, how I love you
Together, together, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me.

My darling believe me,
For me there is no one
But you
Please love me too
I'm in love with you
Answer my prayer babe.

Exactly 1 month.
