Here comes the bride.......

What a fun day we had this past Saturday! My niece, Kathleen (my sister's daughter), is getting married on August 1 (our 25th anniversary is the 4th, so lots of celebrating will be had by all). The bridal party met at David's Bridal down by the Millenia Mall. There was me and my two girls, Phyl & Kathleen, the soon-to-be mother-inlaw & grandmother-inlaw, sister-inlaw and 3 friends (5 bridesmaids).

First, we either stood and sat around Kathleen's dressing room while she tried on about 10 bridal gowns. For the most part, they all looked very pretty on her, especially 3. But she kept coming back to the very first one. It has.....sorry, Aaron, you're not gonna hear it here!!! But she did look beautiful in it.

We all clapped because she chose her gown, that she was very happy and in celebration of the day to come. And then the waterworks started. I looked at Laura and she had tears running down her face, then my sister, and it then went downhill from there. BUT happy tears, mind you.

It was fun too because you got to watch all the other brides with their wedding dresses on. And there were all sizes, designs, really no two alike. There was one that chose a Cinderella gown with fitted beaded bodice and layers of netting for the skirt. Another bride tried on a dress that was very pretty except the skirt had layers of silk material that looked like feathers..layers upon layers of feathers! Families and friends all over the store having a good time.

And lots of CHA-CHING at the register!!!
