Im' goin to the chapel and shes gonna get married...

disclaimer: Mikey, DO NOT read this post...

Sweet Abby is getting married in a month... and is stressed with the planning. I told her that for me once we found the dress it was all down hill from there.... she didn't look convinced. So i asked what kind of dress she was looking for. All of a sudden it hit me... i have the perfect dress for her. Mine? No, mine was just so plane, borderline boring and, well, traditional... very "me".

Now.... this gem i found at an antique store... Is very "Abby".

it was so stunning that i couldn't pass it up, who could, i mean really, it is beautiful! Circa 1920-40... (the antique dealer wasn't sure.) Embossed silk, rouged sleeves, and the intricate hand sewn beading.... i made her try it on right then and there. And of coarse her eyes lit up with joy as she met the most important dress of her life....

I love weddings, i love dresses...And i love a match made in heaven, (both the happy couples, and the bride and her dress). And i LOVE the joy that the best 25$ i ever spend will bring to Abby. Yeah, I said 25 bones...the dealer was moving to another shop, talk about an amazing close out sale, or should i say clothes out ..tee hee.

Congrats Abby and Mikey!!!

Ps Abby, the email address i have for you isn't working... you can copy and paste the pictures from here though.... let me know.

You are the only person I know that would buy a wedding dress just for the heck of it. It's a good thing you did because it looks great on her. Just a few alterations and it will be great!
