Something Borrowed Something New

I was watching

 "Something Borrowed Something New" 

on TLC with Nixon Grace last night. 

She looked at me and said, "I don't care 

what my wedding dress looks like.

I will be happy to be in love and 

have a husband and have kids."

My 1st thought was, "I'll remind you 

of that in 20 years when we are

shopping for your gown." :)

I also couldn't help but think about her sweet spirit. 

She was being so sincere. She was outraged that the

girls would choose a dress their mother

did not like. 

She kept telling me that she was

 going to wear my dress on her 

wedding day. The only change she needs to make

is to add a very long train!

I am not naive enough to believe that she 

will still want to wear my dress in 20 years. 

But this fun little photo-shoot 

we had last year 

came to mind and I just had to share!

My friend April of April Sawyer Photography

took these beautiful pictures of 

my daughters playing dress-up 

in my wedding gown. 

My plan was to have a portrait

made when each girl was 5 years of age

but since they are only 15 months apart

I decided to go ahead and have both girl's

pictures taken. 

Although my dress will most likely

not be the dress they "say yes" to on their

wedding day I know these picture will be treasured 

when their big day arrives!

Lottie obviously wasn't close to 

her 5th birthday but I didn't want to leave her out. 

Don't worry, she will have her

 very own photo-shoot in 3 years!

It's been over a year since these 

pictures were taken and they already have such 

sentimental value. 

If you have a little girl I believe it's worth 

dusting off your wedding dress and letting

her play dress-up for a day!
