Wedding Blog Party II...

Because my Fridays are now "Silent Fridays", I'm posting this a day late for Stephanie's Wedding Blog Party. I'll give you a link to her party and the other participants at the end of my post.

Many of you may not have seen my post from last year, and it's one of my favorites. I've decided to repost it for those who missed it, and I hope you'll enjoy reading it. If you saw it last year, I hope you enjoy reading it again!

Today I'm participating in the Wedding Blog Party,
hosted by Stephanie at Angelic Accents.
Our only guideline is that it be romantic or wedding-related.

My regular followers know that I recently completed
a wedding gown for my mum's April beach wedding,
but if you're new to Brynwood, I'd like to share my favorite
photograph from her big day:

Our family has known Burt, her new husband, for over 45 years.
It was a match made in Heaven, and their celebration was perfect.
I was honored to make the gown she wore for her special day.
You can click here, if you'd like to see the entire wedding album.

In 2008, my eldest niece (who is also my goddaughter)
was married. I made her gown, the attendant's dresses
and the cummerbund for her husband and his son,
who she has now adopted.

In March of this year, she gave birth to their second son.
I made his christening gown from the surplus fabric
I'd purchased for her gown. (I'd planned ahead, knowing
that they wanted to have more children together.)
You can click here to see their entire wedding album,
from choosing the fabric, to Handsome and me
dancing at their reception. I've even included a photo
of their new son and his finished christening gown,
which I am hand delivering to them this weekend.

I couldn't do a romantic post without sharing a photograph
from my wedding to Handsome. It was 60º on December 29th
in Wisconsin!! (Yes, it was a record heat wave in 1984.)
We celebrated our 25th anniversary last December,
and I'm as crazy about this man now as the day I met him.
(It was love at first sight...really!)

In the words of the vicar in The Princess Bride,
"If it's Wuv...Twoo Wuv."
I hope you enjoyed my romantic post today,
and that you get a chance to visit the other participants
in The Wedding Blog Party.

May your days also be filled with love and happiness.

Be sure to click on Stephanie's button to go to her blog site: Angelic Accents to read the posts for the other participants. Be sure to take a hankie. Remember, they're all romantic posts, and you might be invited to a few more weddings. I don't know about you, but weddings always make me cry!

You're Invited...

to a Wedding Blog Party! My friend, Stephanie of Angelic Accents is hosting her annual Wedding Blog Party on June 10th, and I've accepted her invitation to participate. How could I refuse? Doesn't everyone love a wedding?

Stephanie invited me to participate after reading my post about the Royal wedding yesterday. I'm so glad she did, because I can think of a few different ideas for my post already.
Rather than having me explain how you can participate, click here to read all about it in Stephanie's own words. Personally, I'm looking forward to sharing something romantic with you, and, I'd like to invite you to participate, too!
You'll see this sweet button on my sidebar to remind you of the date. You don't even have to mark your calendars! I can hear the music already, can't you? (dum dum dee dum...)
