At Last...

Things have been quiet on the blog-front, not much has been going on to really blog about, unless its for my designs. I've been sewing like a fiend! But there has been some news...

On October 10th, 2010, Adam and I got married. It was one of the best days of my life, even with all the stress leading up to it. We put it together in three weeks, I made my dress in five nights, his family helped out a ton and so did our friends. It was the best we could do in three weeks, and I think it was perfect for us.

The weather was perfect, and things got off to a late start... my hair took longer than anticipated, but it turned out great, and the day went off without a hitch.

Adam made the cake, which was a pumpkin cake with a candied cinnamon apple jam for filler, and cream cheese frosting, both vanilla and anise flavored. He also make chocolate "sugar" skulls for the cake topper. To finish, he decorated it with silk orange Lillie's and African Daises.

Adam wore his grandfathers three piece suit and a Halloween Orange tie with bats (so very his style!) and I wore my 1950's inspired dress with a corset top and full circle skirt over two petticoats.

My something borrowed was my mother-in-law's Veil, which worked perfectly with my dress, my something blue was a bracelet that Amber gave me, :) my something old was a pair of silver and diamond teardrop earrings that were my Father's Mother's, and my something new was the garter Madeline bought me :)

I had Madeline and Jezreel stand up with me, and Adam had Cyrus, Earl and Evan stand with him, and Bryan was our officiant. Our vows were beautiful, and the piece Bryan read for us was also very beautiful. Hopefully we can get a copy of it so we can put it in our memory book once we start that!

Lillian was a doll, uncooperative as usual :) but adorible! Amber made her dress, which turned out absolutely beautiful! The time and work she put into it, was amazing.
