About Mrs. Dumpling

Where did we leave off? Oh yes…

I was getting my makeup done.

Dumpling Wedding: Getting Dressed  :  wedding pictures recap D1 d1

So, my makeup is on, and I mentioned that my Dad had a surprise for me (okay, us…). My dad is a vintage car collector, and he has about 10 vintage cars, some tractors, and a few vintage fire trucks that are completely restored. He’s sort of a work-a-holic, so getting a junky car and then having it restored (by someone else) is like a vacation for him. After they’re all restored and shiny again, he either puts them in his little car museum, or he pimps them out with SIRIUS radio and drives cross-country. He actually drove one of the new ones all the way from Georgia to Vegas, but he wanted to get his baby girl something special.

Enter Dream Car Rentals in Las Vegas. He got us this cool, classic Cadillac, to make sure we arrived in style!

So cool!

Okay, moving right along…

Now it’s time to put on my dress. Can I just say that I think my dress is the most beautiful wedding gown I’ve ever seen? I’m so in love with it, and that’s the way it should be! Ladies, go with your gut on your dress choice. Don’t settle!! Thank you, Priscilla of Boston!

Secret: My “something blue” was my blue thong. It was at the last minute that I realized I didn’t plan that whole thing out, so I just grabbed a blue thong out of my drawer, and VOILA! Something blue! You can kind of see it in the picture below. You’re welcome! :)

My sister was there all morning helping me get ready and making sure I was ok. She’s really awesome, if you were wondering.

These next 2 photos were heavily airbrushed to make me look thin. Thanks, Cohens! Smooch!

It fits! YEEEESSSSSSS!

Dumpling Wedding: Getting Dressed  :  wedding pictures recap Chanwe025  I’m all dressed, and now it’s time to put on the veil. Uh, here’s where things start to get silly. It looks good from the side, right? Great.

“Make sure it gets on there straight, okay?” Yeah. All the bridesmaids and some other family members all agreed it looked great and not like I paid $10 on eBay for it… which I totally did.

So what the heck is so silly? The freakin’ veil was put on upside down and backwards.

See below. HAHAHA. I even looked in the mirror and determined it looked ’aight. Idiot.

Anyways, thank you, big sis, for helping me get dressed! I couldn’t have gotten through my morning without you. :)

You look amazing, as usual! But hold up…….there’s a right/wrong way to put on a veil??? Cuz I’m pretty sure my BMs put it on the same way for me.

Dumpling…I’m pretty sure your post just inspired me to buy the dress that I tried on this weekend and have been thinking about ever since, despite having convinced myself that I’m just not sure about it…oh by the way you look FAB and what is that cute little bathrobe number you’re wearing to put your makeup on? Adorable!
I can’t wait to see more posts!!
