A beautiful wedding....

17 years ago

We are home from our whirlwind weekend in Chicago. Erin and Nasri's wedding was picture perfect and everyone had a great time. I had planned on trying to hook up with Peppi on Sunday, but we were all tired and chose to just "veg" all day. (Sorry Peppi!)

Here are just a few pictures. You can click on them to enlarge if you like.

The newlyweds

My lovely daughter, Erin

Erin and my little grand-niece Lorah. Lorah wanted her picture taken with the bride in the worst way!

My son Nathan and his daughter, (my precious grand-baby) Zoe...as you can see, she was enjoying the wedding immensely! LOL

We got home last night, the pups were so happy to see us! Mojo has improved, but is still pretty "stumbly". I got him to eat a full bowl of food last night, one handful at a time.

Gotta run...lots of unpacking to do!

congratulations, Linda, and all good wishes for the newlyweds!

I'm so glad Mojo is a bit better, I'm hoping for a quick recovery now. Zoe nearly stole the show from the bride, she's just beautiful. Nearly. I love Erin's dress, it suits her. I can't even picture her in something frothy and fluffy, and that dress is so elegant.

Erin looks beautiful and happy and perfect. Nasri is a lucky guy, even if the Forum DOES approve of him. (grin)

Congratulations to all of you!

What a beautiful bride and a very handsome groom. I am sorry we missed out on crashing or meeting up on Sunday, but I understand. Next time for sure.

Now, what about a photo of you and the DH?

What to do with wedding dress

I used a wedding dress to make gowns for the angels I make at Christmas time. I looked at it a long time before I could make myself cut it up ! But it is great for the angels !It was mostly a heavy satin with lots of beads sewn on.

WANTED: wedding cross stitch pattern

Sometime during the past 5 yrs I saw a beautiful wedding cross stitch kit in neutral colors at Michaels Craft Store in the Denver metro area. I regret not buying it at the time and have searched everywhere I can think of on the internet and in local stores. Does anyone know of something that would fit my very vague description? If I knew the brand or the designer I might have better luck in my search.

She is Brittney Spears' sister. Very pretty cake. My sister's MIL made wedding cakes. She made her son a chocolate grooms cake. Did you ever see the movie Steel Magnolias? In the wedding scene there's a red velvet covered with brown icing armadillo grooms cake. lol (That looks like an autopsy)

Congratulations, if that's the word. Unfortunate you had refunded the money but that's a tough one in the circumstances. I am very glad the judge saw how things were - considering the annulment, what was mob hoping to gain? What's the point of wedding pictures? I do think you need to exercise caution in similar situations so you are not admitting liability which could have nailed you in different circumstances. Not that I wouldn't be sympathetic and wanting to make right something that hadn't turned out right, but you want that to be on your terms if you choose to do so. You do need a contract but along the lines of how I suggested earlier, imho. I think offering a retake of the formal pictures with a diplomatic explanation of what you thought the cause was (makeup) rather than saying makeup artist was incompetent, say the makeup doesn't appear to have reacted well to flash photography etc. That retake would be at your expense, getting parties together, travel etc at their expense. Ultimately your disclaimer should be like the Kodak one, all care no responsibility, liability limited to equivalent amount of unexposed film. That is your bottom line, you can always offer a more generous alternative if you choose (if problem was on your end say, of course you'd want to do what you could) and of course make sure any written offers (with the aforementioned caveats) include "without prejudice" provided that term is legal where you are.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! Your daughter is just lovely, and so is her dress. The grandkids and grand nieces are so cute! I'm so happy things went well. I'm glad Mojo's getting better, too. Maybe now that you're more relaxed, she'll respond in kind.

Oh, tears in my eyes. What a beautiful, glowing bride. What a lovely family.

Wish we had a picture of you as Mother of the Bride!

Glad the doggy is doing better.

Thanks!

These are pictures that I took, that is why I am not in any of them.

When I get some of the pix the others took I can try to share one or two of me and Tim. I am SO not photogenic, tho! Good thing my kid doesn't take after me in that respect! LOL

Oh wow! Just look at what we missed. I'm so sorry that we didn't crash the wedding while we were in Chicago but being tired overcame us. We would not have been a parting couple :-)

Erin makes a beautiful bride and her husband is dashingly handsome. Just perfect!

My best wishes for them and for a long happy marriage.

Are you a tired and relieved Mom?
