Look, the picture on the right is Mom on her wedding day.
The one on the left is me fifteen years later wearing the same dress.
Lord willing, in a couple of years I’ll be wearing my own wedding dress and fifteen years after that, hopefully I’ll have at least eight kids.
Maybe I’ll even be looking back on today and smiling as my daughter excitedly tries on my old wedding dress, and maybe it will have been my mother’s before me…Who knows?
There’s a lot of potential in an old white dress isn’t there?
My daughter dressed up for years in my wedding dress. She will be getting married in May and we are re-doing my dress for her ~ replacing the skirt, as it was torn, changing the sleeves to suit her & adding ‘sparkle’ to the bodice by sewing on beads & sequins.
We could have bought her a new dress, but she wanted to actually GET married in the dress she spents hours in DREAMING of getting married.
you just never know…..
Lookin’ good girl !
I saved my dress hoping one of my girls will want to wear it on her wedding day.
You look beautiful. Did your mom cry?

What a blessing you are to your dear mum. My eldest is 11, and I hope that one day she feels the same way you do about having “loads” of kids.

PS You look lovely in her dress. I love how the new photo brings out the detail in the dress. I wonder whether my daughter will be able to wear mine. I’m only 5’1″, so it may end up being too short. Have to wait and see.
My mom wore her mom’s wedding dress.
I’m hoping to wear it in a couple of years. I know it should fit, because I have another dress of my mom’s which she wore around the same time, and it fits me! I’m really happy that I’ll be able to wear it!!!
I’m the oldest of eight (soon to be nine!! YAY!). I don’t know if I want quite that many kids, but if God decides I’m going to have that many then that’ll be awesome!
