Happy anniversary

Today is our one year anniversary. We made it! We're almost at the 9th year mark in our relationship's total.


My wedding dress was a Pronovias (London style). When I started dress shopping, I was not impressed with my local bridal salons. Every dress was a Maggie; strapless and satin. There is nothing wrong with dresses like that, but I wanted something different. Looking at pictures online, I decided I wanted a lace Pronovias dress but the closest place to order one was in Toronto, which is really not close. I hit EBay and found a seller that looked trustworthy and bought my dress. The problem happened with the sizing. The Maggies I tried on usually were a size 12 and they fit fine. Not looking at Pronovias dress measurements, I bought a size 12. In Pronovias-land, that really meant a size 6! Yikes! In the end, everything turned out ok. Having a beautiful, but small dress, hanging in my closet provided me with the best motivation to lose 25 pounds.

My shoes were Franco Sarto, my veil was a birdcage veil found on EBay and my jewelry was diamond earrings and a diamond necklace that was a wedding gift from my groom. And it was a great day! Today we're off on a little romantic getaway.
