Leanna Tomlinson Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 (edited) Thanks to everyone who prayed for our family last week concerning these threads. http://forums.welltrainedmind.com/showthread.php?t=400077 http://forums.welltrainedmind.com/showthread.php?t=404327 We went to the visitation for my 21yo cousin on Thursday night, but were unable to return for the funeral on Friday because it was 2 hours away from us. Everyone understood, but I was sad not to be there. I was also sad that they could not be here for dd's big day. I know they wanted to be and were looking forward to it so much. In fact, the last words my 21yo cousin said to my dd were, "See you at the wedding." Dd #2 actually finished our dress hems at 2:00am the morning of the wedding. I'm really sad it had to be that hectic, but it did get finished. :tongue_smilie: The pic is me with dd's #2,#3, and #4. I was really surprised I was able to hold it together emotionally. I had cried at every little thing for 2 weeks before the wedding. I couldn't even walk in dd's room without tearing up, but the day of the wedding I was just.....happy. :) (I'll admit dh and I had a good cry on Saturday night, but we're still very happy.) I really missed my cousin (the aunt of the boy who died) at the wedding. I really needed her help and one of the results of her absence is that I did not take very many pictures. I was just too busy. I hope I can gather lots of candid shots from others, but for now, this is the only picture I have of me in my dress. I cropped it to hide all the curling irons, ironing board, make-up and general chaos of the room where everyone got ready. BTW- dd#2 made all the dresses in this picture plus one more. The weekend was truly blessed. The wedding went just like we had hoped - simple but lovely. Thanks for your prayers.:) Edited July 10, 2012 by Leanna clarification Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KatieJ Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 :grouphug: Wow. Having been the Mother of the Bride, I can imagine the tears and how being pregnant would add to that. Then add in a funeral. Oh my goodness. You look stunning, as do you your daughters. Your DD who did the sewing did a fabulous job. (I am a seamstress and have sewn for many weddings..It's stressfull in it's own right.)

I talk to the trees Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 You look beautiful! And I had to smile when I saw the colors! My bridesmaids wore the same shade of purple. My maid of honor made her own dress which looked a lot like the oldest in your photo, and mil made sil's dress. And my mother wore teal! (psssst....I like your dress better than I did hers!)
