My mother made my wedding gown - from veil to shoe covering. It's a shame that I can't wear it every day... Yes, that's an actual wedding pic, over 21 years ago.

Oh, Rita...this has brought tears to my eyes. I always cry at weddings...
You are an absolutely gorgeous bride in this picture...the dress is lovely, and so are you.
And your groom is breathtakingly handsome...
What a perfect couple.

Oh Rita...what a special gift she gave you!! To wear her "love" on the day you gave your vows is such a beautiful thing. I can just imagine the smiles and happy tears she experienced as she lovingly created your dress. Thanks for sharing this...;-)

I carried the missal from her wedding day as well (Catholic tradition). And we shared great moments during the fitting and sewing process. :) Thanks for reading this piece of my history, Red!

Wow ! what a beautiful wedding frozen in time. You are very beautiful and your better half was a very handsome man . You wish you could relive this moment again. A perfectly constructed poem to match and capture the very essence of love and commitment . When I look at this poem and wedding picture I was reminded of this song by Joshua Kadison .
You're my peace of mind
In this crazy world
You're everything I tried to find
Your love is a pearl
You're my Mona Lisa
You're my rainbow skies
And my only prayer is that you realize
You'll always be beautiful in my eyes
The world will turn
And the seasons will change
And all the lessons we will learn
Will be beautiful and strange
We'll have our fill of tears
Our share of sighs
My only prayer is that you realize
You'll always be beautiful in my eyes
You will always be beautiful in my eyes
And the passing years will show
That you will always grow
Ever more beautiful in my eyes
When there are lines upon my face
From a lifetime of smiles
When the time comes to embrace
For one long last while
We can laugh about
How time really flies
We won't say goodbye
'Cause true love never dies
You'll always be beautiful in my eyes
