Originally I planned on wearing this beautiful, light blue prom gown a friend of mine has grown out of. However, one of my best friend's informed me that she would like to create my bridal outfit. I was so honored by this that I agreed. I could pose for formal pics at a later date with the blue dress.

My husband and I hate dressing up anything beyond business casual. Hate it. I wore the same dress I wore at my high school graduation 5 years eariler. My husband wore the same suit he bought when he was 16-17 to go to a funeral for a classmate who died in a motorcycle accident. It was a little short in the arms. We so didn't care and honestly, I can't imagine it being any other way. The thought of getting into one of those stereotypical wedding dress monstrosities was/is... :help:

Some confusion occured as Pras had brought a white sari (along with the bridal veil and tiara) from India, and my dad had purchased another white sari in Calgary.

Whatever you feel comfortable in, Sarah, is what you should do. This is your big day.

Andre and I got married in our living room by a JOP. I wore a beautiful white sleeveles sheath and black skirt. The pictures we had taken were of the dress and suit we are going to wear in Jamaica when we finally get to renew our vows and have the big hoopla with his family and friends. I love both sets of pictures equally. And, I will have another set of different one's when we do the JA thing.

It's all about you. Do what you want to do.

Life's just a crazy ride on a run away train

You can't go back for what you've missed

So make it count, hold on tight find a way to make it right

You only get one trip

So make it good, make it last 'cause it all flies by so fast

You only get one trip

I saw my dress online in the beginning of 2005 when we were just talking about one day if we got married and all, so I did a search just to show him the type of dress I'd like to wear, and then on our wedding I had that pic still saved, he posted the dress pic here on VJ and asked if someone knew who was the manufacter and then after a few hundreds of phone calls to every store in both Kansas and Missouri states (I was only finding it too big, like size 10 up) I finally found a size 6 and we bought it, I think around $ 350.00 which surprised us, we were expecting it to be way more expensive.
