Howdy, Sweetie.

 

[Ally T]

Luckily no one wants to see me!

But I'd love to see any new brides and their wedding attire! Heads or no! So bump!

I want to see what's at the end of that gorgeous neck you have shown, adorned with various beautiful necklaces!

 

[Missy]

How can anyone let the "tail" (if that's what it's called) of a several-thousand-dollar white dress drag behind them on a floor, or worse, on the ground/dirt outside?

The pics I see of this in this thread make me cringe.

Haha then don't ever watch anybody "trashing their wedding dress".






As for trains the longer the better. Love them.
In both wedding dresses and choo choo trains

Sharing my sister's wedding dress. From the 2000s.
My non professional photos haha. And in the background is my best friend also taking non professional photos.

Back of her dress.


I can't find any full length photos unfortunately. Her dress was gorgeous.



Beautiful bouquet.




My friend did my mom's and sister's makeup.

 

[Austina]

You all look gorgeous!

OOH, THAT BACK!

The rest of the dress is pretty perfect too, but that back is to die for!

Is that a thing?

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

Is that a thing?

Its awful Kenny
Its like people have way too much money
No thought to it being used again

back in the 60s (before i was born) my freind's mum had her wedding dress made into lingerie

Mum let us kids play with her train - it was white velvet and she used to gloves for gardening but her dress was packed away for safe keeping

As someone who has never been a bride it upsets be seeing wedding dresses ruined for fun

 

[kenny]

Well, I've thought of doing a few naughty things in my life too.
Most I haven't done though.

Hey, that might make a fun thread - if people participate.

I really enjoyed reading through this thread, seeing everyone’s beautiful wedding dresses and especially hearing the memories of your special day. If ever there is a day where joy is overflowing, it is ones wedding day.
What a perfect time to revisit great memories.

We are still basking in the glow of ours, even though it was over a year ago.
It was a second marriage for both of us, having both experienced the loss of our spouses in our 50’s and pretty certain finding true love a second time was a major long shot.
We knew about 2 weeks after meeting that it was the real deal, but waited 7 years before getting married because it made more financial sense. We were both on the cusp of retiring.
We were fully committed early on though.
Our wedding day was a long awaited dream come true and felt every bit of a dream as we hoped.
We both grew up along the Delaware River (in two separate towns about 20 miles apart), so having that as a backdrop was beautiful and meaningful. It literally was something that connected us long before we ever met.

The ceremony was in the side yard of a neighbors beautiful river front home and then we crossed the street to my childhood home where my mom still lives and had a beautiful, fun, tented celebration. We wanted something that would be fun for everyone including our nine grandchildren. It was perfect.

So onto my dress. Let me just say, it’s HARD to find a wedding dress that feels age appropriate when you’re 60!
I imagined I was going to have some Grecian goddess style dress, but it wasn’t to be.
When the sales person suggested the dress I ended up choosing, I said , no way, it looks like something out of the Jetsons.
But, she knew better. It was light as a feather, comfortable and I felt like a beautiful bride.
My mom, who is approaching 90 now, gave me her seal of approval. She has much better fashion sense than me, so that was all I needed.
Thanks for letting me share our special day!
I hope it keeps going! We need all the joy!!
Look @kenny, no mud! Just don’t look at my heels. Lol

What a beautiful wedding

Best wishes to you both and your blended family

Bluemuse you two make such a beautiful and radiant couple!
Your dress is the nicest wedding gown I've ever seen.
It's perfect, and you sparkle in it.

This part of your flowing dress brings to mind a Georgia O'Keeffe painting.




But, how did your photographer get the paper confetti to just happen to fall right in front of the face of all 3 girls at the same time?
Amazing.

 

[Austina]

How wonderful you found love again after suffering such losses @Bluemuse, here’s to many happy years together.

 

[Missy]

Is that a thing?

It is. I never did it as it wasn't a thing when I was a bride. I don't think I would have done it even if it was a thing when I was a bride. Not that I ever wore or used my wedding dress since the wedding so it wouldn't have mattered. But it's not something I would have enjoyed. We barely had photos during our wedding so I sure wouldn't have done photos after the wedding trashing the dress.


I should have donated my dress now that I am thinking about it. Too late now as the dress has probably yellowed and aged as I didn't do anything to protect it.

Beautiful bride and beautiful wedding. Congratulations on finding true love. It's never too late. And you are still newlyweds.

Awe, thank you, Kenny! So nice of you to say! Never thought of the likeness to a Georgia O’Keeffe painting, but I love that! She is someone who’s work and life I greatly admire. I visited the O’Keeffe museum in Santa Fe.
Yes, that photographer really had skills, didn’t she? Like they say, timing is everything!

 

[Bluemuse]

How wonderful you found love again after suffering such losses @Bluemuse, here’s to many happy years together.

Thank you @Austina ! It did feel like some great miracle that we found each other! He is as sweet as they come.

 

[Bluemuse]

Beautiful bride and beautiful wedding. Congratulations on finding true love. It's never too late. And you are still newlyweds.

Thank you, @missy ! That’s so sweet.
I agree and we do feel like newlyweds, even after nine years of being together. I think we’ll always feel that way.

Aww thanks. She’s my baby sister and she’s beautiful inside and out.

 

[Bluemuse]

Thanks so much, @MillieLou !!

 

[mrs-b]

Aww thanks. She’s my baby sister and she’s beautiful inside and out.

So she takes after you, then. And both of you take after your (freaking GORGEOUS!) mother.

It’s been so fun reading through this and seeing the photos! I got married at 23 in 1999 in Washington, DC. I never tried on one wedding dress - I just saw one in a magazine that I liked and had a little old lady make it for me. She charged me $75 plus fabric. Honestly, I hate being the center of attention, so I wasn’t at all interested in any details of my wedding. I wish I could go back in time and make myself care about some of the details and at least try on some dresses! I told my husband I’m making up for all of that now with my interest in diamonds and jewelry! Lol! This is the only photo I have at the moment.

My youngest brother wedding in 2016.
My Sister-in-law wedding dress isn’t traditional wedding dress, not my cup of tea at all, but it suits her and her personality, it is HER wedding dress... you know what I mean? When you see something and you remind that piece to certain person/yourself.... everything about that dress is Her, her name is written all over it kind of thing.
I wanted to post my own but I haven’t login in fb and forgot my fb password and I’m too lazy to search the file in my DH computer.
