It was finally time to step into my wedding dress! Although I had already spent quite a bit of time in the dress during fittings, I was thrilled to put the dress on. This time, Mr. Taffy was actually going to see it!

The lace on my dress made it quite heavy, but my friends were ready to lift! It didn’t look pretty or glamorous maneuvering to get inside of the floof, but stepping (OK, climbing) into that dress, surrounded by my mom, sisters and friends, was a wonderful moment, even though it looks like the dress is trying to consume me!

Finally, my arms contact air!

There were so many layers to sort out…

Which gave such a dreamy look to these photos.

Kylie and Liz got to work on buttoning me in…

Almost there!

We put the sash around my waist…

And I made my (now a bit wobbly) way over to the wedding gifts from Mr. Taffy.   The necklace and earrings were so beautiful!

I was too excited and nervous to put the necklace on by myself.

I tried to put the earrings on, but was too jittery and excited for that, too! Ah, love. Nature’s caffeine.

I was very grateful for Kylie’s steady hands!

I took a moment to take everything in, and strangely felt extremely nervous for a few seconds.

That was followed by an explosion of excitement! It was almost time to see Mr. Taffy!!!

And I couldn’t WAIT! No more hiding my veil and dress in the closet!!!

My mom gave me a hug and a kiss…

And sent me on my way to our first look! I was seriously about to bust with happiness and excitement.

Next up: Behind the scenes before our first look!

We rehearsed.
We groomed.
We dressed.
