Brandon and I were married May 22, 2004. Recently, a few of you have asked to see my wedding dress because I mentioned that it was hanging in the closet I’ve been organizing. Not being one to disappoint, here it is.
I wore a white silk dress by Watters & Watters. I also wore red lipstick, my hair in a bun with my mom’s veil, simple stud earrings, and a big sparkly brooch on my dress. Brandon wore his suit with a pink tie and a lily of the valley boutonniere. My bouquet was made of pink peonies, lilies, old-fashioned roses, and lily of the valley.

You have the same wedding date as the Princes of Asturias!

Love seeing your wedding photos! You look beautiful.

You look beautiful! It reminds me of my wedding. I got married in April in a very similar Watters dress (they make such beautiful and simple dresses) and my husband wore a black suit with a pink tie! I guess great minds think alike!

Darling. Your brooch, is it vintage – is there a story behind it?

:) does it feel like 6 years??
Amber
I got married the same day! My dress is in my hall closet, but it stayed at my parents’ house for at least 5 years before my mom insisted that I take it! I guess I’ll keep it in case my 9 month old daughter wants to use some part of it for her wedding.
Debra
You look lovely, as always — very classy bride + handsome groom. I agree, your dress is timeless and elegant. Will you save it for Eleanor?
Fran

beautiful! you both look stunning.

love it! I am fascinated by wedding dresses, and the meaning embedded in them. I was only married 11 months, but kept my wedding dress for 7 years! I finally had to cut ties with it and just tossed it in the trash….
