Bryan and I got engaged March 21, 1993...which meant that by April I was fully immersed in planning a wedding that was scheduled to take place in mid-July. Weekends home from college were jam-packed as I tried to fit in dress shopping and decisions on invitations, reception centers and flowers along with homework and precious time with my fiance. This is a picture of my sister Katie...who is 18 months younger than me and a senior in high school at the time...and myself pouring over a wedding magazine. My day planner and brochures from various wedding service businesses also spread out across the table...ah, it was an exciting time. And though my 19-year old self made some decisions then that my older self would never make now (realistically, what woman doesn't want a dress do-over?) I immensely enjoyed putting my beautifully perfect wedding together.

I remember how excited we both were at that time! Your pic and post bring back some great memories... but I do have to say(and don't hate me for it), I don't wish I had a dress do-over, but that is only because I had the opportunity to try on a bunch of dresses and pick and choose the aspects of each dress I liked, and then we designed it into a dress I was perfectly happy with. (Darn, if I could only still fit into it :-( I think my rib cage expanded after having kids). You know, I love looking at pics of your wedding, even if you would go back and choose a different dress, you looked perfectly happy and exquisitely beautiful on your big day. I'm glad I got to be a part of it!
That picture reminds me of a time when you could find modest dresses in the bridal magazines.
(I love the picture of your little Lillian with the stickers!)
Katie,
Doesn't look any different at all! You look much younger, though.
Mommy
