As mentioned in the previous post, I have "blog stalked" shamelessly for a while now, and during this time, one of my favorite blogs to read has been Kelly's Korner. I have enjoyed watching Harper grow and loved touring bloggers' homes virtually through the "Show Us Where You Live Friday" tours. I was always a little sad on Friday because I didn't have a blog, and I didn't have a large, fully decorated home to share. This week, I got excited, because I do have a wedding dress!
I was married to my husband on December 29, 2007. Since I was a little girl, I have always dreamed of a "Christmas wedding" complete with lights and trees and the wonderful spirit that surrounds Christmas. My husband knew better than to mess with a childhood dream, so he obliged my every wish when it came to our wedding.
My wedding dress is not the first one I slipped over my head. It was actually probably number eleven or twelve at the third or fourth boutique, but as soon as it was all laced up, I felt like I was "smack dab" in the middle of a fairy tale. This picture is of my mother lacing up the back of my dress on my wedding day.
I can't seem to find my wedding CD with my portraits on it right now, and I just freaked out a little when I realized that...but, here is a photograph of my portrait we displayed at the reception hall. It now hangs on my husband's side of our bed.
Here is another of my portraits. I apologize for the poor quality. I ganked it from my husband's beside table and threw it in the scanner before he knew what happened.
I'm not sure who the designer was for the dress, and I'm not really the type of girl who cares. The dress was a light ivory, halter-top style gown with a pick-up skirt and a long train. The bodice had a beaded design with crystals and pearls, and it was beautiful. Somedays I want to put it on and just wear it around the house, but I'm afraid my husband might have me committed.
This picture is us walking into the reception. For some reason, it distorted horribly, but it shows the back of my dress.
And this. This is my most favorite picture from my wedding, and I absolutely adore it.
This is my first post with photos, and I now have a new appreciation for those of you who post photos frequently. It is time-consuming. Maybe I'm going about it the wrong way? Any suggestions?
