Mrs. Sewing, San Mateo, CA/Honolulu, HI Age and Occupation: 24, Electrical Engineer Fiance's Age and Occupation: 24, Electrical Engineer Engagement Date: June 27, 2009 Wedding Date: July 2010 Venue: Anela Garden Chapel & Japanese Cultural Center, Honolulu About Me: I'm an easily entertained, compulsive idea-scheming machine who loves good art, good food, and a good engineering challenge. I'm planning a half-destination wedding on the beautiful island of Oahu - imagine a plethora of movies, art and games; savory Hawaiian food; blended Chinese and Japanese cultural details; lush, fragrant tropical flowers and all the air conditioning a NorCal native could want! And once I marry the love of my life, we'll come back to the 'mainland' to party it up all over again in my hometown of Salinas, the salad-bowl capital of the world!

Sewn Together: Communal Dressing

November 8th, 2010 @ 12:27 pm by Mrs. Sewing

Makeup set, we kicked the guys out of the suite for some alone time with the white & fluffy.

I snaked into our homemade, two-piece skirt in less than a minute; it was not cute or very bridal at all.

I needed some future-mother-in-law help getting the crinoline in place.

When it came time for the corset, I was pretty adamant that Mr. Sew be the one to tie me in. The dress being his handiwork, it was only appropriate.

Plus, I think he’s the only one that really knew what he was doing.

And so, Mr. Sew tied me into our dress for the last time.

In turn, we helped him finish dressing as well.

And, well, we all helped dress each other.

An aunt dropped our flowers off in the meantime, and we blasted the air conditioning in an effort to keep things cool.

Sewing-Sis was really digging her bouquet. We may or may not have had a few “sword” fights with them.

And lastly, we put on our fancy shoes.

And remembered to stash our wedding bands with us.

All dressed up with a few pre-wedding hours to kill, it was now off to get proof that we were actually married in Hawaii.

Awww…you look so beautiful! It’s so cute how all of you are helping each other but it’s definitely appropriate for Mr. Sewing to tie the corset. It made you such a beautiful dress.

I don’t really like the idea of a first look, but this idea would really have made me think hard about it. How special to see that look of concentration on his face - he wanted to get it just right for his bride. And I LOVE that you said he helped you into “our dress” because really, that’s what it was.
