My mom made my sisters wedding dress when she got married, but being that we are several years apart my parents were in a much different place in life when I got married. Parents were retired and traveling in their motorhome so when I told them I was engaged mom looked me straight in the eye and said "I don't have the time the patience or nerves left to make your dress so good luck" Well alrighty mom, then planning a date around their planned travel schedule got interesting. They got home 3 days before my wedding.

I planned and put it together with my sister/moh and my girl friend. you saw my bouquet lots of green few flowers that was the reoccurring theme. My reception was very fall with lots of chopped sausages and meats chunky cheeses, breads, crackers and massive amounts of fresh veggies and fall fruit. Beer, wine, coffee and ice tea, All made and attended be my friends. My cake was simply frosted carrot cakes with fresh flowers connecting them all together. I didn't have a professional photographer or professional invitations. it was perfect for us.

As an after picture this is me and mr bill yesterday we took a short overnight trip. [ATTACH=CONFIG]559756[/ATTACH] for those of you wondering yes we are Bill and Billi he is named after his dad and I am named after my Mom. yes it is a bit of a cruel joke.


Also more swap related TG I'm pleased you like your block the bird house fabrics was a real struggle for me trying to get that correct balance of showing up but not being overpowering.
