After I was done hamming it up in my gown, everyone was smiling.

Now it was time to put on my jewelry, shoes, and garter. The necklace was my something new, and the hankie was my something old—an Irish bridal hankie gifted to me by a teacher at my elementary school back when I graduated high school. I’ve kept it tucked away for many years, waiting for this day.

Mom helped with the necklace. You might recognize it as the same necklace that Mrs. Bunting wore at her wedding! Great bee minds think alike.

Chicago J helped out with the garter. Don’t mind my Spanx…

Then it was on to shoes—no ivory shoes for me!

And of course a Texas girl’s gotta have her boots.

But we’ll start with the fancy shoes first.

Missed a Cauldron wedding-day recap? So far, we’ve had:
Beautiful shoes and jewelry. I love the bridesmaid dresses too!
I love your whole look, so beautiful! Also, I kind of want that bee box.
Oooh, I love both your shoes and your boots! I can’t decide which I like better!
Miss Cauldron, New York City/Austin Age and Occupation: 33, Human Resources Fiance's Age and Occupation: 33, Technology Engagement Date: October 8, 2011 Wedding Date: September 2012 Venue: Pecan Grove at the Salt Lick About Me: I grew up in the Lone Star State, but moved to NYC after college to get a taste of the Big Apple, and never left. I love baking, yoga, Mr. C, and sunshine (not necessarily in that order)! Mr. C and I met on Match.com back in 2007, and our second date was at a Texas barbecue restaurant in Manhattan. It’s only fitting that after almost five years together, we are getting married at an iconic Texas barbecue joint. (Shiner Bock and brisket, anyone?) I’m proud of the life we have built together around our love for each other, Mr. C’s crazy dog Bosley, and fun sailing adventures on our boat, and I’m looking forward to celebrating our marriage at one seriously awesome party in September.
