Here Comes the Bride! Stay tuned here for timely updates! and pix!

At Feb 2004, the wedding is set for Spring 2005, ceremony at the Japanese Garden, reception in Balboa park.

I took these pictures with Angela’s camera and the aspect ratio is different from the camera I’m using now and it was buggin’ me that the cover was not symmetrical. Is there no End to the minutiae that can be buggin’. So I made the previous version that fits. Because I can.

Ok ladies, let’s hit it.

The Moms.

Getting yourself into the undergarments, which is no small task.

OK, so now I’ve lost the contrast… Soon!

The first dress and as it turns out, which we didn’t realize until we looked through the pictures, the current favorite.

How gorgeous is this. The back of The dress.

Next.

Layers and layers of loveliness.

The Mother of the Bride. Happy happy mother.

Yes, this is me, The Bride!

More.

Yow-za.

But nahh.

This place, David’s Bridal Salon is an amazing place with seemingly acres of dresses, perfect mirrors, excellent changing facilities, professional assistance, all the add-on goodies (the goodies being tiaras, veils, undergarments, stockings, etc. etc. which will cost you at least as much as the dress!).

So why would you go to the neighborhood salon and pay more for fewer selections? Exactly.

This was Angela’s original favorite until she realized OMG, this was my cousins Exact Same dress! (The reason you Might go to the neighborhood salon and pay more for fewer selections…) How it would look with straps even though she is not getting this dress, no way.

Not into that sweetheart neckline…

Hello!

Our sweet as pie neighbors on the left.

Not to forget, this is Business too.

Our sweet as pie neighbors on the right.

These tiaras and veils are simply not arriving with sufficient dispatch.

Angela took this because she said I’m just sooo funny…

ooooow ooooow.

Testing the veil the way D mentioned he liked it from the previous day.

(Check this color with the one below.)

The Bride. Like in a magazine.

(redo or trash)

First try with the tiara and veil. A bride Needs a tiara…
