for time and all eternity
don't you love the white tux?! i really should talk preston into getting one.... they're coming back in style, right?
if he hadn't already bought a handsome grey suit, maybe i would. although i think the white bow tie just might be a little too much for him to handle.
but now for the fun part--my mom's dress. it has this awesome lace neckline and lace detail work on the bottom. my mom looks like an angel in it (well, perhaps minus the hair! sorry mom).
on sunday, my mom pulled out her old dress from her hope chest. i tried it on last summer after coming home from london, but it didn't fit. i had high hopes this time, and i held my breath. i very carefully squeezed into the dress, hoping i wouldn't pop the zipper. it barely fit!
naturally, my mom wanted to document the moment--me, in her dress, almost thirty-one years after her wedding.
here are a few of the cheesy poses from the awkward fake-bridal photoshoot.
my mom has been a great side kick wedding planner. the flower lady, invitation lady, catering lady, and cake lady were all hunted down because of her. my mom is fun and classy-the perfect combination for a wedding. oh, and she has great taste (hence the pretty dress above). today we met with the invitation lady and looked at proofs of the invitations. i'm getting even moreeeee excited now! (don't know if that's possible?) the inserts are so dang cute! but you'll have to wait a few more weeks to see them. no sneakity peeks of those.
anyways, i just wanted to say a quick thank you to my dear mother.
i love her, and i hope to have the kind of marriage she has.
