When my husband and I first got married, it was for lots of reasons, we were best friends and did love each other. But after 10+ years...our love is much stronger and more secure. We get along much better than we did in the beginning and I think we've both grown and changed so much...we just go together like Salt & pepper... so we've decided to renew our vows!!!
We'll plan it in the next year...my mom has cancer and I really want her to be there so we will probably have it in the spring or summer.
My son is a pastor and he will be doing the ceremony, which will be very special!! My granddaughters and grandsons will all take part in it too.
We didnt have a church wedding the first time, we eloped and was married on a mountain top. It was beautiful, but Ive always missed the fact that we didnt have a wedding in the church.
Im so excited! Has anyone ever quilted a wedding dress? lol

I've always wanted to quilt the front panel of a dress that had 3 panels in the front...you know, where the bust dart is built into the curve of the 2 side panels. Would be just beautiful in white or beige or pale yellow, pink or blue.

I do think a quilted panel on the front would be attractive.

It just occurred to me that you could make a dress out of quilting fabric, white/off white or a combination. You wouldn't have to use batting. And if you wanted to, you could make a cape or a jacket using fancy fabric, lined, but no batting. Good luck with your decision and would love to see a picture once you are done.
