Thanks everyone for your kind words! The flowers were actually picked out by the girls of this board about 4 months before the wedding. I posted pictures of 6 or 7 choices and these won! These were the "JM Choice" Flowers
And my dress has a story too. I bought a maternity wedding dress 2 days after we decided to get married. As it got closer to the wedding, it was obvious I was not going to be pregnant and the dress just looked floppy on me. I was feeling sorry for myself one day and Julie (dreamer10) talked me into going to the bridal salon and trying on dresses. This was the first dress I put on and knew it was "the one". I have it hanging in my room now and get to look at it all the time. Thanks Julie
It is funny that you say that about the men in my life. For some reason I tend to be drawn to tall guys, lol. My ex-husband is 6'1 and so my boys are tall. My oldest is 5'11 middle son almost 6'1 and youngest not sure but he is still growing. My dad is 6'2 and my hubby is 6'5! His best friend is 6'7 (dang!). and here is little ole me at almost 5'2. I love being short, it is awesome! The one thing I miss is my weight.
My whole life I have been small, weighing around 105lbs. Never dieted or worked out. But then I hit 40 and what they say is true - you really do gain weight even if you don't eat differently. It sucks! Well I gained a few lbs but still kept it around 113 - 115 so I could sort of deal with that. But then I quit smoking 3 months ago and ballooned up to 126lbs. While that is a healthy weight on most, it is FAT on a small girl like me. Even my mom who is 64 years old weighs less than me now. I am really frustrated with the weight issue now.
Holy Cow, so didn't mean to ramble on and have a pitty party on that one. Sorry!
I am so much more spunky in real life than here on the boards. It is hard to communicate my craziness through typing! And I was a cheerleader in high-school and had brown curly hair... only been blond for the last 15 years
