about my wedding- that was almost 17 years ago! Her's a pic if you'd

My dress had a train too, Kitti. It was equipped with buttons
and loops so it could be fasted up into a bustle type thing so
it would be out of the way for dancing.

I know we have many more Dawnettes out there! Post! It's almost like a Dawn
fashion show! Oh wouldn't it be cool if someone not married yet would design a
dress around one of Dawn's???? Oh goodness... Pink Slink would be a beautiful
bridesmaid gown. Ohhhhhh wait... petals and pleats would be pretty for a
summer wedding! Gosh, has anyone done a wedding scene yet? I wish I had a
digital cam!! Maybe Lori can bring hers this way for the Atlantic City show
and we can make a wedding scene! Ok, I'm getting off track again! :-)

my danny cutting the cake. my husbands aunt made our wedding cake. did i mention
that my mother made my dress? before i got married i used to cut out pictures of
wedding dresses from magazines and save them. when i got engaged- i pulled out
the folder and looked through the pictures and pulled one out. i took it upstairs
and showed my mom and said-can you make this for me- (she can sew anything). my
sister was engaged also and getting married a month after me. i had left the
picture sitting on the kitchen table, she picked it up and said- hey, it's my
wedding dress!- i said- no, it's mine. my mother was sitting on the couch grining
because she realized she would only have to make one dress! a few years later,
one of my younger sisters also wore the dress, and a few months ago, a friend of
mine was married in it.

di - nice story about the dress! That makes for wonderful memories.
CntssMorra
>are wearing?
Yep... it was my mom's crown which I always loved looking at as a kid. She had
saved just the crown. Mom made a new pouf for the back and a long removable
veil for the back and the blusher. So at the reception i would just have the
crown with the pouf.
I did my own hair that morning cause growing up with your mom and 2 sisters as
hairdressers... trust me you get tired of the primping.
I was happy how my hair came out.. all i wanted them to do was put the damn
crown on my head. After 40 mins i said.. just leave there... right there where
it is and pin the damn thing in. :) It was crooked all night but i loved it.
grrrrr i have to go look for the pics now.

>and we can make a wedding scene! Ok, I'm getting off track again! :-)
Okay Michelle I'll bring the camera... (was planning to bring it anyway!))
what dresses should my gals wear for the bridesmaids???. Your doll can get
married LOL LOL
MAXHELCAL
bit like Steve! LOL I'll just do it exactly as I did when I got married the
first time...you take your pick on the dress! (I'm partial to pink :-0) I let
everyone else pick what they wanted for the most part including flowers, the
cake, pictures, church songs etc- except for my dress. I just didn't want to
deal with all the stress of it and I'm so glad I did it this way cause I really
had a blast! :-)
Michelle
MAXHELCAL
(I know this is long but believe me this is the short version LOL)
Me and Steve had been living in Las Vegas for about 8 months before we finally
decided to drive back to Jersey to live and get married here instead. (we had
planned on staying in Vegas before this) So here I am trying to make all these
plans long distance for the reception and the church and trying to find a
dress. I find the dress of my dreams in a magazine and when I call about it
it's $14,000!!!! OMG! Steve and I paid entirely for everything in our wedding
(except the cake which is ANOTHER story) so this was certainly out unless I
took the money we had saved for our house! haha yeah right! (thought about it
though) I was getting so frustrated and overwhelmed that I finally I just said
I don't care which dress I get...I'll just find something cheap. I checked out
the classified ads and finally bought a beautiful modern wedding gown from a
women who wore it once for $350. I call a few of my friends back home and tell
them to just pick out anything they want to wear cause my dress is white and
anything will match and I just let Steve's brother take care of the reception
for me cause I always wanted a garden party type wedding so we had it at his
house and told him to just send me the bills. Called the florist and told her
to just pick out something pretty and fresh and in my price range So..that's
sounds easy enough huh? Well, about about a month before we are set to go back
I start crying about my dress! Now mind you a lot more is going on beside this
darn dress but I'm hysterical crying cause I hate the dress now that I bought
and blah blah blah! Steve was so upset and doesn't know what to do so he looks
in the yellow pages and finds a seamstress lady and takes my picture of my
dress from the magazine ad to her and she says she can make it for me for
$1,200!!!!! So I was at this lady's house every other day for 4 weeks and
finally it was done on the very same day we were leaving town to drive across
the country. Me, Steve, and the 2 dogs with a wedding gown in the back and our
luggage! I ended up giving the other gown away to good will on the way out of
town too!!!! I'll never forget that! I really love that dress and I have it
preserved under my bed hopefully for Helen someday.
Here's a picture of the magazine ad that I saved:

I didn't have time to clean up the tears in the pic (this is my
grandma's copy). I have a dress story too. I searched high and low after
my dress I designed (and bought the material for and hired a seamstress
for) was vetoed by my grandmother. I was at my wit's end- everything I
liked was about $10,000. I was at a pretty low point in my life when I
was back visiting my hometown area and found my dress at a little
boutique in Sausalito. I put the dress on and got kinda choked up about
everything going on and what it would be like to walk down the aisle. As
I was in the shop, some girl's mother called to confirm that her
daughter wanted the dress. The shop lady looked at me and told her it
was sold. It was the only dress in my size left and they never made any
more. I wish the iridescence of the lace and beads showed up in the
pics. I loved hearing everyone else's story- thanks!

Here's a couple of my wedding pics - I *cannot* believe
it's been 13 years. I don't have a great gown story, I
borrowed mine from a friend of my sister - but I've added
my favorite picture of me and my grandpa. He was well
into his 90's at the time and very prone to making pronouncements
with just that finger waggle!
Here's the link -

Sarah
moxie
your grandpa is just priceless. I've been loving everyone's
photos and stories, but hope that people who are single or
otherwise not possessed of wedding photos don't feel left out -
married people can be so self-absorbed! LOL!
My sister made my wedding gown, such as it is; really a very
simple dress with a lace bodice that she made from a Simplicity
pattern for a tea dress! I am not frill-oriented and I LOVED it,
and as plain as it was it looked stunning all the same. That's
the bride's magic at work, I guess! Andy and I planned a rather
traditional wedding with a whole bunch of little twists and
details to make it unique. And everything was perfect, of
course... the only mishap is we kept 3-year-old ring bearer Luke
out too late on rehearsal night and he was kinda cranky and
spazzy - when it was his turn to walk up the aisle he took one
look at all the people looking back at him, and lit off at top
speed for the chapel in the back corner of our church! Somehow
the rings made it up to the altar later, and Luke crashed in a
back pew and was his usual happy self again by cake-cutting time
later that afternoon...
Oh, what the heck - I already posted a couple but here's our
whole wedding page - please don't click unless you want to be

N.A.Babs
but I have had more than my share of weddings to attend and be a part of, I was
just wondering what is the average amount of weddings that people have
attended, for example, I only have 4 to go to this year (that is a slow year
for me) I usually average 6 weddings a year,for the past few years, I was also
wondering how many weddings everyone has been in, I have been in over one dozen
myself (maid of honor 6 times 3 of them were within 6 months!) the weddings
that I have gone to and was not a member of the bridal party I was asked to do
the readings in the mass or ceremony depending on what religion the couples
were, and I have also put together, about 10 weddings for my friends
everything from where to book the wedding, the DJ's or bands, the wedding
favors, the photographers and the florist (I have a lot of connections) anyway
as I said earlier is this normal, or do I just know way to many people? I will
have to say though some of my favorite ceremonies are those of the Russian and
Greek orthodox, they are very moving! I think it would be fair to say that I
have to have attended over 60 weddings in recent years (only 9 of them were
family), and the only thing I know is that my friends and family cannot wait
for me to get married, they have all kinds of things up their sleeves for that
day! Mom is going to purchase a fireworks show! LOL! All I know is that it
definitely would be payback time to all of my friends LOL! Just kidding I was
just wondering if this was the norm or do I just know way too many people??

Gosh i died cause i have 3 weddings this year on Tom's side and i have to get 3
dresses. My sister's are done and over with.... twice for one. But I do have
2 girlfriends i'm waiting on... that i know I'll be the maid of honor for.
I've been in 4 wedding parties... always the bridesmaid. 2 were my sisters... 1
my aunt the other a friend. I have had it with wedding parties to... I wish my
2 girlfriends would hurry up already LOL.. if they could hear me. As matter of
fact, one of them is getting engaged on st patricks day.... so she thinks but
yea i know the truth...she is! LOL.
My wedding dress story is kind of boring.. like Kitti's.
Two years before i got married... a friend of mine was getting married and her
mom had just died. I felt so bad... that I had to just be there to help her
with everything. So.. we went on the hunt for her gown... we found one she
liked near home but she didn't try it on. We went all over the place to every
store....and finally to the city to this huge bridal place..... i watched her
try on a million things. I watched as snoppy sales people ran around the skinny
straved girls instead of helping my friend. who was not a big girl at all
but... just average. Finally she made me go back to the very first store that
she saw the first gown in. when she tried that one on i burst into tears....
like i was the mother of the bride or something. She looked at me and said i
guess this is it.
Well lesson that i learned.... i knew i was going to use that same dress shop.
I had found my bridesmaid dress in a magazine and went there with my girlfriend
for her to see it. A different girlfriend. I was NOT there for my dress...
HA i wasn't ready for that. Then the lady said to me...how about you? do you
have your dress? i said ooh no. She pulled out three dresses.... i picked up
the 2nd one.... and I said well i can't try it on. Thinking okay this thing is
what.... a size 4 or something?
She checked and said... ooh it's in your size. hahahahaha... I tried it on...
bugged out in the mirror.... it was $650... so i bought it on the spot!
:)
i loved my dress... it was just what i wanted and i found it so fast. no
hassles no running around.

We did not have any money to spend at
all, so my dress budget was around 500.00. I went looking for a wedding dress
and could not find anything I liked at all,
not to mention that there was not a single
beat up, kicked around, holy dress for
500;00! So I walked out disgusted and
depressed. I remembered that I had a really nice lacey dress that I had from
years ago. I took the dress out tried it on
and decided that was going to be my wedding dress! And I only paid 8.00 for
it on clearance at fashion bug. The dress was white satin with a lace overlay.
It did
go to the floor in a zig zag type fashion.
I was happy Chris was happy and we had
a great wedding. It was more like a huge
picnic then a wedding but I loved it!

Damn... I would have been thrilled to find something like that.
I think it is such a waste to spend so much money on these dresses. Yes they
are beautiful... i love the beads... love the lace... but come ON. it's for one
darn day!
It killed me to spend 650 on mine and i wasn't even paying for it... my dad
was. but still... it was a very nice dress but to much for one day. It's still
haning in my closet cause i never had the extra money to go have it clean and
preserved and stuff.. the local place here started at $100 and my dress being
an extra size would have cost twice that. Sad.. i should try to go have it done
now. But i just never think to do it.
i have to scan my pictures.... i have to show you my shoes. I killed myself
more over my shoes then i did my dress...
hmmmm

One of my sister in laws had her long train made into a Christening gown for
her kids, it was one of the nicest christening gowns that I had ever seen! My
other sister in law is one of those size 2 people, she walked into a store
tried on a dress liked it, only to find out that it was one of last years
models and on sale for $99.00 from $500.00! Her Veil cost more than her dress!
LOL! When it comes to wedding fashions, I really don't think that it matters
if the dress is a new model, last years model or 100 years old! If you like it,
you like it! Thats what makes it worth so much!

I will try to pull some out and scan them, one of my favorites was When my
brother Bill got married ( I was in the wedding party and decorated the limo's
and cars, with the usual just married for the limo, and "we are still available
signs for the other cars") anyway, I have a picture of my brother Bill who is
kissing the maid of honor, and My brother Andy who was his best man kissing the
Bride, it is such a typical picture for my family! But if I were ever to get
married I have absolutely no idea how to chose a maid of honor, I was the maid
of honor for both of my sisters, and for my best friend of 32 years (Maureen)
How could I possibly chose any of them over the other? I am close with all of
them! Maybe I would just wheel Grandma up to the alter and have her as my maid
of honor, she keeps telling me that she is waiting around for me to get married
(she is 96) and she said the other day that she is getting pretty tired of
waiting for me! LOL!

As a matter of fact, I did pick my Grandmom for my maid of honor. I was
trying to scan my pix last night to put up but I kept getting "not enough
memory" and I finally gave up for the night. Anyway, best decision I ever
made, she was so nervous and cute! She kept telling me to pick a friend, but
unfortunately we don't always stay friends with people and you will always
love your Grandmom. She died not long after and I will always have that
memory.
I am really enjoying everybody's pictures! You are all such beautiful

dress when they got married- i was glad it wasn't just laying in a
box! my one sister didn't want me to let my friend wear the dress- but
i convinced her that it should be used!!!! im not sure how much it
cost- my mother made it- so i don't think it was too bad- it's the labor
that really gets expensive! i could never have spent alot of money on a
dress!

MAXHELCAL
something so you can load the picture there. I would love to see. I think it
is wise to pick someone like that when you are getting married too.
I only had a maid of honor in my wedding....no bridesmaids at all. It was just
too hard to do everything from across the country and I am into enjoying things
more than stressing out so I picked her cause she was my closet friend at the
time and roommate before I moved out to Vegas. I could pick her without hurting
someone else's feelings too cause she was not connected to anyone else. Like I
have 2 cousins and 3 old college roommates etc. and to choose one would not be
fair and labels who I care most about.
My girlfriend Lisa made a HUGE mistake of doing that "who should I pick thing"
and she hurt alot of her girlfriends feelings. I remember one girl wanted to
be her maid of honor or she wouldn't be in the wedding. That is a shame. I
don't think my girlfriend handled it right but it's not my business so whatever
but that's a shame. I think she was trying to pick between her best friend now
that she worked with and her old best friend she grew up with but didn't see as
much cause she moved away or something. She should have just picked them both
or not had a maid of honor OR had her Grandma be it but she didn't and I think
she ruined that friendship. Some girls really get upset over that best friend
thing.

invitation to their home for the whole famiy. she was offended because she thought
i should have sent one to her personally. she was also having a hard time because
i wasn't spending as much time with her and she didn't really like the guy i was
marrying. i did apologize to her about the announcement thing and we talked alot
about my commitment to dan and how that was going to take alot of my time to
develop our relationship as husband and wife. i let her know that she was very
important to me and so forth. anyway to make a very long story short- we worked
through it all and now 17 years later she is still my best friend and she likes my
husband now. i helped her through her wedding and then through a divorce. she
calls me her kids "surrogate father" because they come to my house alot when she
has plans for the weekend he is supposed to take them then he calls at the last
minute and says he can't come. they practically lived with me for a month when her
father was dying because he wouldn't take them for any extra time. anyway-
fiendships are fragile things aren't they- i think what got us through it all is
that we knew that we really did care about each other and we accepted the fact that
we aren't perfect and that we are going to make mistakes. we've had other
disagreements through the years, but we always work it out.

Angie, that is so cool, I would love to do something like that, but in reality,
by the time I ever get married, or even if I decide to I don't think Grandma
would be around, but then again, she may just outlive us all!
I would love to see the picture of you and your grandma! I hope that you are
able to post it!

gown (although if I didn't wear my mothers wedding dress so much as a child,
playing dress up I could have worn that, it even had the hoop wooden skirt),
also I had a party at a gun club that my father- in- law was president of,
not a real reception..... it was free......Cake was given to us from my best
friend, I save alot of soda free with grocery purchases and no
honeymoon.... Small diamonds....Sheess cheap!!!........ GO for the glamour
all you girls not married or going to get married, I wish I had some
Beautiful pictures like everyone here, mine are just happy party shots, and
I make up for it all with my bad spending habits now.

put one on my birthday list. I'll send one to Kitti and have her post it for
me.
My wedding dress was in no way traditional. It isn't even white. We knew we
were going to get married but didn't even know the date until about 4 days
before!!!! We got married under a huge tree in the middle of October and did
not have a reception. Weddings are expensive and I just went practical I guess.
All in all it was a geat day and pretty much stress free!!!!!
I'm still waiting for a honeymoon!!!!! I hate to fly!!! haha!!!
I'll have a picture posted soon.

One of my fav pics. If you know me.. you know I do that stand thing... with my
hip like that. I had to have a pose like that.
Then me and dad dancing... Still my favorite dance partner. Then my cake and my
cake top. I bought the little statue of wedding bears long before the wedding.
Bears was our thing and theme i guess. the invitations had bears... and i had
this cute little statue. Then my mom bought the stuff to make the cake stand
with backdrop and all. It came out cute. then she made me wedding
bears......and blah.. i got sick of bears... :)
thats it.. hope you liked...

Kitti,
From what I understand, the new "thing" is to blow bubbles. I don't know if
it enhances fertility though.

Ohhh... my hair. When i met Tom I started perming it... it was curly for 3
yrs... the one for the wedding was my last perm... i swore no more. The last
time they counted. .... they had almost 200 rollers in my head! ouchie no more!
BzQndBee
stiff and tired when you did get perms. My mom says she always had to go out
and buy more when she did mine, you can't tell it to look at it (cos it is
like, limp, with no body naturally) but it takes a ton of perm rods to put up
my hair. Oh my, oh my, all of you are SOOOO lovely! I will have to get a few
of my pics out and get them scanned. Heehee, mind you, all of you wear the
Dawn Depends, cos I was married in 1979!!! Can we say retro??? Still married
ladies! Can you believe that?

birdseed. This was about three years ago, and most of the
people didn't realize that they were supposed to blow them. I
remember a couple of snobby acting and expensively dressed women
giving people nasty looks because bubbles touched their
clothes. LOL (We had birdseed at mine. My daughter threw the
entire basket of it at us. When we got to our suite and I
undressed, I still had tons of birdseed in my clothing!
Yuck!!!) Anyway, I love the bubbles. It looks so romantic!
And Lori, I can't begin to imagine how long it must take to roll
your hair with perm rods. You have some of the most thick and
gorgeous hair I've ever seen. :-)

Thanks Wendy :)
Tom saw me flipping through the pictures and said i should do my hair like that
again. I said yea right... never again.
I admit to dying it... I don't care.. I'll tell anyone... I don't want to look
in the mirror and see grey. So a couple of bottles of pure black, work just
fine with me.

black,,wow,,it sure looks thick!!
Mine's thick ,but not as long,,wish it would grow faster!! :-)

That's why I just love pictures! They capture time! I loved what you picked
for colors in your wedding party too! All your girls looked great! That is too
funny about the bears. I used to be hooked on bears too!

drove out to Kensingtion furniture! Didn't see anything we really wanted
though. I have a few rooms I need to complete but I want very specific things.
I'm a pain in the tush when it comes to the house. I want 2 leather wingback
chairs for my study that I found in a catalog but are almost $400 just for the
shipping costs! agghh Hoping to find them in person. ANYWAY, please bring the
pictures! Steve was so happy to hear you are coming too! He says we have to
stay up till he gets home from work that night so we can have a drink with him!
He feels like part of the group after the convention! hahaha

No perm. It took me an hour! It would be impossible now for me to devote so
much time to getting ready anymore. Now I am a ponytail girl who never sees
the likes of a curling iron unless I'm going somewhere special.

Rainchecks!!! I also have hopes to find a NRFB Blue checkered mini and while
we are at it we might as well look for Bewitched! hahaha

P. S. Kensington did have a leather section, did you see anything there? I
was too overwhelmed when I went so I think it will take a few trips before I
can really decide on anything. Dave loves the job! I finally have the house
to myself after 7 months, but now I have to cook dinner, he did that while
he was home! Oh well.

Great Grandfather was a parishner in, and there on the steps and the side walk
was Rice! It was so nice to see that after all these years, I still think that
it is kinda dumb to ban throwing rice,then there was the paper confetti, (I
remember when my church banned it they said if it rains they end up having rice
pudding and paper mache on the steps) and I do not know why they changed from
Birdseed to bubbles, but one of the weddings I was in last year, had the
bubbles, and the wedding was at 6pm in October, so when they came out of the
church and everyone was blowing the bubbles, the flashes from the camera's were
reflected in the Bubbles, which came out to be a neat looking picture with the
dark backround the couple and the shining bubbles! I will admit that if I ever
do get married, I am going to have at least one person throw rice for good
luck. Did you notice that the divorce rate grew as the throwing of rice went
down! LOL! Just kidding!

The birds eat the rice. The rice expands in their little
stomachs, and then...KABAM!!! Poor little birds.

OMG!! haha Yes, I heard it was cause of the birds too but I don't think I
could have ever said it better than you Wendy! LOL So direct but subtle!

What a great idea Angie. My sister Sid stood up for me at our
blessing. The only problem is that she was prettier than me! My
sister Vik had stood up for Sid when she got married so it was just
right to have Sid stand up for me. My mother got her this gorgeous
lavender gown as part of a dollar bag on the last day of the church
sale and she looked amazing! Cal had his brother stand up for him in
his Air Force uniform and he looks fabulous with Sid.
