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

[moosmom]

Sasvermont,

Actually, she can't cry. When they removed the tumor from her brainstem, one of the things she lost was her emotions. But she will be beaming, I can tell you that. So will I and her father and her *ahem* stepmother (who hates my guts, by the way).

[sparks19]

she is SO beautiful and congratulations to both of you on the wedding and the entire journey

for her tiara I don't know what they were charging but you may want to search on etsy for the tiara and veil. you can get some GORGEOUS items for a good price that are handmade and made with love

Sparks19,

That's what her maid of honor and I told her. We took pictures of the tiara and the beading detail on the veil and will either try to duplicate it at a MUCH LOWER COST, or find something online. Jackie (MOH) was all over it the minute she got home. Amy got an email with pictures of what we saw. $189 for a freaking tiara is insane!! Especially for one day. That is unless she plans on becoming a tooth fairy and wears the tiara and carries a magic wand with her!

She saw a pair of shoes she liked too. Don't get me wrong, I love my daughter more than life itself. But, like her mother (*bows head in shame*) she is a klutz and trips easily. The shoes were beautiful but, as Jackie also pointed out, no one is going to be looking at her feet!!! The outrageous price for the shoes can be well spent elsewhere, say HONEYMOON!!!!

Congrats mom and the dress is beautiful.

Donna, Amy is the most awsome woman in the perfect wedding dress. You have the right to be a proud mama and cry at the same time!

For my wedding, I joked to the kids at camp (I was a camp counselor) that I didn't even need to wear shoes, as my gown was floor-length and no one was gonna see my feet anyway! One little girl was so worried, she mail me a card after camp was over in the shape of a shoe!

What I did was buy an inexpensive pair of off-white shoes with a low heel (count me among the klutzes!), and sew some of the lace left over from my gown onto the shoes. Amy's got a good lead time, she can look for white shoes now that they are out of season, an you and she can decorate them with crystals and make them not only sparkly and pretty, but unique! And the little girl was quite relieved I wore shoes at all!

Gorgeous!

As for shoes, my sister wore a nice pair of flip flops for her wedding shoes. She's very tiny and her husband is a big guy so she really could have used a heal, but she was too worried about falling so she went with what she was comfortable in, flip flops.

What a beautiful gown! Congratulations, Donna and your daughter!

When my dear friend Lisa got married, she bought a pair of white Keds instead of dress shoes because she had always had problems with her feet. We took out the Ked laces and put in blue ribbons for the ceremony and reception, and then she put the Ked laces back in and wore them on her honeymoon.

WOW, that is a FANTASTIC dress, Donna!!! Amy will be a beautiful bride!!

I have one question though: what if her weight changes? In nearly 1,5 year, lots can change.... (I did have to make my dress wider, and i bought it only 5 monhs in advance )

[Miranda_Rae]

WOW thats a gorgeous dress!!! Swarovsky Crystals are very expensive. My future mother in law works at one of their stores and she bought me my wedding jewelry!!! I think its a very pretty dress and she looks so beautiful in it. I felt the same way bout feeling like a princess when i tried my dress on!!

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

That is going to be my mom too!!! Cept she cant cry too much cuz shes my maid of honor!

Maya & Inka's Mom,

She's been going to the gym and working out. Since Paul has moved in and does most of the cooking, she knows she's gotta watch her weight.

Miranda Rae,

We have a Swarovsky Crystal store in the Buckland Hills Mall. I told her I would buy her wedding jewelry, all she has to do is pick it out. Hopefully we can find the same crystals that are on her gown. We took pictures of the detail on the veil to give us a better idea what we're looking for.

See my parents bought my wedding dress (against my protests) and my future mother in law bought the jewelry. I read earlier that the tiara was 170 something or something like that!! Thats OUTRAGEOUS!!!! When i looked at them they were like 70 and i thought that was too much just for something you are going to wear one day! So i am trying to find a cheaper one thats nice but thats not really happening. Veils are rediculous too! My mom is making mine!

I had no idea your daughter had cancer. How wonderful to see a happy story however. She looks beautiful. The dress is lovely. Enjoy this time with your daughter, wishing you all the happiness life can bring.
