Pics at last...
Ursula Schrader
here are a couple of the pics from our wedding: DH and me in our bestest
frocks, me in all the splendour of the Dicey-Noeker dress. Unfortunately I
still didn't get to see all the digital pics, but those I saw weren't half
as nice as these which were taken by mom with her oldfashioned SLR camera. I
scanned them and, since dusk was falling, some of them are a bit dark and
thus have been lightened up automatically by the processers.

Anyway, I think the dress came out really well (again, thank you Kate), and
I look much slimmer in than I normally do. I'm seriously considering Wild
Ginger... The little bag had to get ready so I couldn't smoothe out some
major cnstruction faults. Problem is that the timtex core is too big for the
outer fabric, and so is the lining. Therefore the intended square shape is
sadly distorted. Fortunately, the bag was crammed to the brim that day with
purse, mobile, keys, make-up, and some spare lace hankies so it kept nicely.
If somebody has any idea how to correct the fault - just let me know. I'll
post a detailed description of the problem later in a differnt post, though.
Other than that - isn't DH looking just stately and distingu�e? You'd never
know it's him if you knew how he looks in his working pants. ;-) And we both
were really comfy in out outfits; the strained expression on our faces is
sheer nervousness if everything will go right with the ceremony and the
dinner afterwards.

dress and jacket complete. :)
'Eric the Viking' looks very elegant, and having seen him in his work
clothes and wild hair, I have to say he really does look elegant. Give
both him and Christine my love.
Nervous is allowed. And your mum's photos are lovely.

cameras any day. My younger DS has an SLR, and almost refuses to use a
digital.
The dress is fabulous, and I love the hat & necklace. Your hubby does clean
up well, LOL, very good-looking gentleman. He reminds me of a dear BIL.
Your darling Christine is absolutely precious.

I agree. I particularly love the combination of textures in your
ensemble. This is MUCH better than any fluffy white dress might have been.

The pewter coloured sating was fairly easy to work with, as it was so
heavy and supple. The silk and wool brocade was a joy in different
ways... Neither was easy, exactly, but at least they behaved as expected!

You both look so happy in the after pictures, and the suit and dress
are perfect. Well done to all involved. Are there any pictures of
DD in her dress too?
Happy New Year

I can only agree with everything already said, you look absolutely
fabulous, the dress is wonderful, your DH is smashing. I adore the hat,
and I think the bag looks just fine.
You both look very happy and I wish you every happiness in the future.

delay, but the migraines hit again. (Hmm, gotta try and reduce salt; hadn't
heard about that one...) what I wanted to say is: Happy New Year to all of
you, too!

Ursula,
I hadn't heard anything about reducing salt, please tell me more. My 20
year old grand daughter has been having migraines since she was about 9
and now my 11 year old grand daughter has been having migraines for the
last 2 or 3 years. The 20 year old has begun having stroke like symptoms
with her headaches and her mom says it's the most frightening thing she
has ever seen. She recently had an MRA and there was still nothing found
that seems to account for the headaches. She's had numerous MRIs and
other tests over the last 10 years and they don't seem to be able to
find a cause. Medication only helps for a limited time before it becomes
ineffective and she takes both preventative and not sure what I want
here, whatever the word for what is happening at the time. When she is
actually starting to have the pain.
If you would feel more comfortable with a private email you will be able
to reach me at gmail dot com my user name is j l l u i s i.
Thanks,
Judie

I'm sorry for my rudeness in my last reply, I am of course sorry to hear
of your migraines, I know how painfully devastating they can be when
they strike.
I hope you are feeling better,

My older DD suffers frequent migraines (thankfully a little
less frequent now). She keeps eliminating things thought to
be triggers: caffeine, wine, chocolate, cheese, MSG... The
last is really tough here, MSG is added to so many things.
You might want to take a look at this list:
http://chetday.com/migrainetriggers.htm
then eliminate them one-by one to see if you get any relief.
Best of luck.

doctors and each gave him basically a list of foods to avoid, two of which I
vividly remember: hard cheeses and chocolate.
He is now 24, graduated last spring from college and doing well on his job.
I can't remember the last time, he or his DM has mentioned a migraine.
I will look up the list and send it to you.

I too started having debilitating migraines when I was about 9. I
didn't realize until I was in my 30's that they were migraines and it
was another 10 years until I learned some of what triggered them--and
then it was not from doctors.
I very rarely get them anymore, since I learned to avoid the triggers.
In my case, one trigger usually won't cause them, but any two will. I
avoid:
salt (I don't add salt to anything when I'm cooking or at the table)
tuna fish
cheddar cheese
red wines
some brands of beer (it's the hops & additives that cause me problems)
peanuts/peanut butter/peanut oil
chocolate
msg
allowing myself to get overly tired
dropping air pressure
when I was younger, the time of the month
Of course all of those are foods/drinks I love, and there is nothing you
can do about the hormones or a low pressure front, but if I can make
sure I'm subject to no more than one of the items on the list, I won't
get a migraine.
I remember once when I thought it surely would be okay to eat a little
tiny individual package of Cheetos. (They're a salty puffed snack with a
cheddar cheese coating.) I ended up prostrate all the next day. :-(

pictures,Ursula. You look so elegant in your outfit. It's perfect for
you. Edgar looks wonderful also. You are a handsome couple.
I'm sorry you have been so plagued by migraines. They are not fun. I
suffered with them for years also. Mine started as a teen and were
caused first by going to the movies and later they were hormonal. People
didn't accept those reasons at the time and it made it harder to get
treatment. Later I was also bothered by aged cheese and red wine in
combination.They would put me down for several days at a time.Once I
reached 50 they disappeared. That was such a blessing. I finally could
get through life with out worrying about blinding headaches. Migraines
are no longer treated as if you are a hysterical female. Thank goodness
for that. A combination of knowing your triggers and having a medical
care provider who understands them is the best way to go. I hope you are
able to reach the stage where you can get relief and not have to worry
about having them any longer.

Huh, in what way have you been rude? Did I miss (once more) the subtleties
of the anglo-saxon culture? Don't worry, I didn't take any offense. Anyway,
as you have probably found out by now, it wasn't me who discovered the
effects of salt on migraines but Kathy Morgan. Gotta dive into that at some
other point, now's dinner time! ;-)

DH and I used to have terrible migraines. A few years ago, we realised
neither of us had had one in years. In fact, not since the kids had
grown up and left home!!! Well, well.

Years ago, I had duodonitis. Ick! My doctor said it was caused by
stress. So I got a divorce. No more problem.

My migraines have reduced to one or two per year since I gave up
teaching full time... Purely stress induced!
