The Wedding Dress!

Hi, friends!  I posted a few pictures on my Facebook and Instagram page, but in case you missed those, Mark and I got married last weekend at Forsyth Park in Savannah and it was the sweetest ceremony.  Simple and easy, just the way we wanted it.  I took a few pics with my phone and we did  have a photographer there taking lots of pics which I should get back in a week or so and I will definitely share many of those when I get them back.  In the meantime, enjoy these few shots of us and me in my wedding dress.  I’ll share all about the wedding venue and all the details about our big day later, but in the meantime enjoy these few pics!

When I saw this dress on Nordstrom, I just knew it was the right dress for me to wear on my special day.  I pictured us wearing summer attire, looking quite stylish in lace and linen in the sultry city of Savannah. Mark bought this gorgeous linen jacket and pants last year and it’s been fun for him to have them for summer events.  I knew his linen would be perfect for our wedding day.  All the neutrals!

With the heat and humidity of summer, I should have known better and just gone curly with my hair, but I didn’t listen to myself.  I got it all straight with my flat iron and sprayed it down with hair spray, but even that can’t compete with summer in Savannah and the intense humidity that happens just going outside.  We started on the porch of our bed and breakfast that we stayed in and by the time I got to the park, it was starting to flip and flop. But oh well, it was a wonderful day!

It misted rain that morning and we were very worried that it really might downpour for our 10:30 wedding time, but luckily it stopped and was only cloudy which was better for picture taking anyway.

After the ceremony we posed for a few pics and took a lot with the photographer, which I can’t wait to see!

A single shot of me in my dress, I just loved the dress and felt very pretty in it. I got a size smaller than I normally do and had to reorder to get the right one, so the dress definitely runs big.

Y’all will chuckle at this…I wore shoes from Goodwill.  I found these last summer and thought they were really cute, looked practically brand new and when I got the dress, I knew these shoes would be perfect with it.

The rings!  I know you all want details, so I’m trying to give them to you!  It was such a special and sweet day for us and I’m so happy to share it all with y’all. You’ve been so supportive and caring to me and my family over the years and I’m thrilled with this next chapter in life.  It’s been quite the journey to get here and I feel so blessed!

Again, I’ll be back with LOTS more pics of the wedding and where we stayed and all of that, so stay tuned for more. Savannah is a beautiful backdrop for a wedding and I’m so glad we chose this picturesque city for our special wedding day, July 29, 2017!

    I am so happy for your sharing about your special day. You are truly blessed and of course you deserve it. I love that you got your wedding shoes at Goodwill! Just this week I donated a beautiful pair of shoes to Goodwill that I wore once to the Florida Governor’s Inauguration Ball. I knew they would never fit me right again, but I lamented the fact that they were so pricey and beautiful! So I hope my shoes will bless someone else on their special occasion whatever it may be!

    Dear Rhoda

    How happy I am for you to have found your Prince Charming!! It doesn’t matter how old we are, we all deserve to be loved.

    I wish many years together to do all that you have planned and to include us in your life as you’ve done in the past is an honour and privilege and I want to thank you!!

    It’s exciting and fantastic to see new love grow into a marriage with dreams to be fulfilled.

    All the best to the newlyweds!!

    Much love
    Pam
