Hair... oh the stress...

This is going to sound ridiculous, but the most difficult decision I've had to make in the whole wedding planning process has been what my hair is going to look like.  I know that sounds so silly, but I'm very particular about my hair.  Here are my current criteria:

1. I have naturally curly hair and want my REAL curls present on the wedding day (not ones that come from a curling iron... my real ones are prettier)
2. I HATE my ears... they stick out and I hate how they look in pictures.  They have to be covered in some form or fashion
3. I have a veil that I'm so excited about and it will be incorporated into my hair style
4. I don't really want a full up-do because I want to look like myself!

I was planning on doing my own hair, but my cousin/bridesmaid works at a salon and one of the girls there has said that she will do my hair for $20.  So as picky and protective as I am about my hair, I'm going to give her a shot.  I have an appointment set for the morning of my bridal portraits as a "trial" and I guess we will see how things go with that!

I have been looking ALL OVER the internet for something that I like, and it's been SOOOO hard.  I've only found one option... here it is... what do you think???
