Show us your life:Wedding Dress

So, we have been married a little over 3 years now and I thought I would share my wedding dress story. About a month before our wedding I had a bride's nightmare come true. I did the whole bridal portrait thing. I found this spot on the bottom of my beautiful dress afterward and decided to go to a dry cleaners to get the spot removed, but told them if they were going to mess it up not to touch it. I even wrote this down for them. They decided to clean the whole dress, and they left the broach on for the process. They didn't even call and let me know what had happened! My mom called, and they told her to come with me to pick up the dress that they had picked it. My beautiful dress was now very ugly! We called the store where we purchased the dress and they said that they couldn't find one, but my wedding coordinator found my dress in a size 12 in California! At that point we had less than a month to get it to Georgia and to cut down to my size. Thankfully I had my dress! That was my major crisis as a bride. Thankfully the wedding day had no glitches! The picture above is the only snapshot picture I have to post.

Our great weekend started Thursday night with Patrick conducting "Thumbs up U.S.A." He played the other pieces, but sits in the back and I could not get a picture of him! Then on Saturday we went to Kimber and Tommy's Wedding. The wedding was picture perfect. We left the wedding and went to "The Come See Me Festival." The firework show that night was spectacular. Today we enjoyed hanging out with friends from our Sunday School Class at lunch after church. We really will miss all them.Patrick conducting

Happenings

Patrick's graduation is fastly approaching. I am so excited and proud of him. He just finished his orals and written comps for graduate school. Now all he has left is a paper and one final. He graduates May 7th at 7pm!
The Come See Me Festival is taking place in Rock Hill right now, and I can't wait to go check it out this weekend. Also, there will be a big fireworks show Saturday night. I am hoping for clear weather. A friend of ours from Sunday School is getting married on Saturday too. We are in for a big weekend. Watch for pictures!
Well, I am about to go see the concert Patrick is performing in tonight.
