I was reduced to tears yesterday, here's why...

As you know, my daughter Amy is a 18 year cancer survivor. She's getting married!!! Something I never thought would ever happen.

We went gown shopping yesterday with her maid of honor, cousin Jackie. I walked in the door a little late and this is what I saw. The attendant immediately handed me a box of Kleenex. How perceptive. I burst into tears.

The first words out of her mouth were "WOW!!! I feel like a princess!!!" Hence the WOW factor.

Here ya go!!

Her tattoo is a shooting star/rainbow with the words "Survivor" under it.

The dress is beaded with Swarovsky Crystals. The tiara ($189) matches the dress. The fingertip veil is also beaded in Swarovsky Crystals.

Donna, she looks like a princess. :)
If that's her choice, it's BEAUTIFUL!

Scooter's Mom,

It's bought and paid for (she got a David's Bridals credit card). Jackie and I told her to forgo the tiara and veil, that she and I would find it cheaper elsewhere.

She tried on at least 10 dresses and this was the one. She didn't have that reaction with any other dress. There was one other one that she tried on. It was a v-neck with a "vintage" lace over it. It was a champagne color. But the WOW dress was the one, by far.

She himmed and hawed. After telling her for 30 years that if she sees something she likes and wants, to buy it because she'll be pissed if she goes back and it's not there, she FINALLY listened to me. Just this once.

I get teared up just thinking about how far she's come. My baby is a grown woman, about to be married to a wonderful guy, and gets a 7 year old stepson who adores her.:D:D:D

:) Yes I so Agree.. Many Congrats Donna..

That dress does look beautiful on her. It's so nice when you get that feeling and know that you've found the perfect dress for yourself.

Wishing her a marriage as beautiful as her wedding.......:)

She looks very beautiful in that dress :) Congratulations!! :cool: And I think her tattoo sounds real cool. It means somethin...

That is a "WOW" dress! That is what I said when I saw it!! It is beautiful on her and she is going to be a real Princess Bride on her wedding day..

I'm sure I'll cry buckets on her wedding day. But they will be tears of joy.

Donna, the dress is out of this world, pretty. It appears to be a perfect fit as well. She looks so lovely in the dress! I love the jewels on it! Wow.

I hope the special day is a great memory for all of you. Yep, you will cry. She will too!

Congrats!

Definitely a WOW dress, and another WOW for the bride wearing it.

I totally understand the tears, Donna. Such a journey the two of you have had getting to this point :love:
