When I was little my mom used to let me wear her wedding dress. I loved wearing that dress SO much!

(check out Cam’s pjs – are you thinking what I am thinking? He’s pretty much rock’in em!)

I took my dress out of “moth balls” a while back so that my sis-in-law could try it on. I am going to pack it back up again but before I do, I wanted to give Millie the chance to do what I was so lucky to do as a little girl.

So yesterday she tried it on.

Remind you of anyone?

Wait for it……

You guessed it. Princess Di!

I know this story didn’t end happily – but OH! how that wedding made an impression on my little heart.

Remember Di’s train? I swear it went on for a week! I still remember thinking to myself as a little girl, “HAS ANYTHING EVER BEEN MORE WONDERFUL THAT THIS?” as I watched her march down that aisle.

I wasn’t lucky enough to be married in the 80’s (dang, it!) but that didn’t stop me from getting A LOT of fabric in my dress.

And when I say a lot I mean A LOT!

Oh, wedding dress – I love you. You are so beautiful to me. I wore you the day I gave myself to the world’s most darling Brit.

You made me feel so beautiful.

It was such a happy, happy, happy day.

Virgina, thank you for making my dress SO beautifully. It is a work of art. Every stitch is perfection.

It sill makes me so happy.

Perhaps the only thing better than wearing it myself was seeing it on my little girl.
