Part 1: Tryin’ to Get the Pretty
Ah, it’s been a while. A month or two ago I managed to get a promotion at work. The good news is that I get to run my own project and hire people. The bad news is that I work longer hours and have less time for blogging. Wah! Still, Mr. Lollipop and I had a wonderful wedding day and I really want to share our pictures.

My arrival at St. Andrew’s Episcopal:
My lovely $100 dress, a garment I learned to love again:
My mom and I puzzled over my broken iron. No steaming for us.
Here is the full view of the wrinkles. We never did get the iron functioning and after five minutes I said ’screw it’ and put on my dress. Luckily, it was a warm day so the wrinkles fell out on their own.
Sadly, I couldn’t put my own shoes on without falling over. Wedding dresses are heavier than they appear.
My mom looked great!
Me with my veil over my face during adjustments:
My veil attached to my comb using tiny neodymium magnets. We did this so I could take it on and off without disturbing my hair.
Finally, a look in the mirror…
a hug from my mom…
…(She did get a little weepy.)…(Aww.)…
…and I’m on my way.
Meanwhile…

nice! was your mom’s dress from david’s bridal? my mom has the same one I think!
I think it is David’s. My mom bought three dresses before picking this one, so its hard to tell.
Oh cool, a Pittsburgh Bee! I used to teach swim lessons just down the street from St. Andrew’s. You look lovely!
now a $100 wedding dress is something to cheer about! nice find!
Your mom looked fantastic!
I’m glad that in not-too-long you gave up on the iron.
