My wedding dress...

[grainne23]

Someone was interested in seeing my dress, so here it is...It is a reproduction of 1859 ballgown. It's made of ivory matte satin and has a hoop that measures 4'11'' across (mom wanted to go bigger, over 5ft, but as it was I had trouble fitting down the isle with either of my escorts). I've included pics of me dressing so some of the layers may be

Thanks :) the hair took 4 hours and over 200 bobby pins, not to mention every kind of hair goo that they could think of...

Thanks...what else would a girl that loves to "play dress-up" wear?

You had my all time favorite wedding

I loved every thing about your wedding - your dress - how relaxed you looked - the crazy reception. The beautiful church - you know - its too cool to top. So I'm going to France.

Thank you :) Sometimes things work how they are planned, sometimes not...That day worked. I didn't remember being relaxed, but I asked Troy and he said "yes, you were because you just accepted that there was nothing more you could do...". I love him :) Destination weddings rock!! I know that you will have a ton of fun in France!
