a lifetime of loveliness


Recently while I was home visiting my parents, my mom and I decided it would be a great time to open up her wedding dress. She had it perserved a year after they got married. I had no idea what went into perserving a wedding gown but basically it just means there are a whole lot of boxes, bags, and tissue paper to delay your future daughter as you digs through it all to see your gown.

We had a lot of fun!
Each of the boxes had a funny saying on it.
My favorite was "a lifetime of lovliness".
"Bridal Gown Treasure Chest" was a close second.

My mom is still super skinny and exactly the same size. If I could wear her dress I think I might.It was beautiful.
