Mrs. Knitting's Picture
Mrs. Knitting, Toronto Age and Occupation: 24, Student Recruitment Assistant Fiance's Age and Occupation: 24, Neuroscience PhD Candidate Engagement Date: October 2009 Wedding Date: December 2010 Venue: University of Toronto Faculty Club About Me: I'm a pearl wearing, etiquette book reading Toronto girl who loves cooking and baking, museums, charm bracelets, and collecting books on Jackie Kennedy (a lot). I've been known to spend Sunday mornings at the antique market, Wednesday evenings at sister sushi dinners, and any bit of spare time reading. After six and a half years of many late night walks, watching DVDs together in bed, travelling to places like New York, and Tobermory, doing Sudokus together on the couch, lots of Indian food, the occasional yoga class, moving in together and so much more, Mr. Knitting and I are planning a cozy Christmasy (it's a word!), vintage wedding in Toronto complete with many DIY projects (eek!) and lots of help from our amazing group of family and friends.
About Mrs. Knitting

Now that all my people had arrived at my apartment (and my mom’s dress wasn’t about to fall off!), it was time to turn into a bride.

Mama Knitting fake zipped me into my dress:

That’s right, fake zipped.

She thought actually having to zip me into my dress seemed a bit difficult (my mom is a bit of a character in case you are wondering!). I found this hilarious because it’s not the first time a Knitting woman has been intimidated by a wedding dress. My sister occasionally makes fun of me for being outsmarted by the corset lacing on her wedding dress and for the fact that we have a picture of me fake lacing her up.

Me being very confused by all the ribbon on my sister’s wedding dress:

At least corset lacing is a bit more complicated than a zipper! Apparently, Knitting women just aren’t so talented with wedding dresses.

Anyway, after I was actually zipped into my dress I then got decked out in some gorgeous jewellery, including my wedding charm bracelet:

Since everyone in my family is notorious for being untalented with anything to do with hair, I asked my BMs to help pin on my head piece (and yes, that is a Matryoshka Christmas tree topper in the background!):

They did a pretty great job, and despite the whole thing being made of wire, it was impossible to see a single pin!

I got some smooches from my sisters:

And with that, I was a bride:

OMG! Mrs. Knitting you look goregous. I have tears in my eyes from looking at the lovely picture of you standing by the Christmas tree. I have to tell you my absolute favorite picture in this post is the one of Mama Knitting “fake” zipping up your dress. I absolutely love all your accessories and your dress. They came together magnificently.

The back of your dress is pure drama. The necklace and hair piece elevate it to a whole other level! Very lovely lady!!

Salivating over here over your headpiece and how your necklace glides down the middle of your back. Wow.
