I knew there would be more than a handful of girls changing in and out of clothes the morning of the wedding, so I made a little warning sign to keep boys away:
 |
| “Please knock before entering. Ladies only, please!” |
Before slipping into my wedding gown I had some very important business to attend to…a certain computer matter. Because, you know, it was kind of a big deal.

| There’s that Panda Express sneaking in again! |
With that out of the way, it was time. Time for the dress every little girls dreams about. (Okay, truth-be-told, I didn’t dream about it when I was a little girl, but I sure as heck thought about it once I had a pretty ring on my finger!)
At this moment I was so overcome by giddy emotions I remember my cheeks literally hurting from smiling so much. I was about to actually become a bride. I was also hoping and praying it would fitāremember, I bought my dress two sizes too small!
 |
| This is one of my all-time favorite pictures of me. |
With my dress barely hanging on for dear lifeāit had to be laced upāthe girls got to work making it as snug.
 |
| I love my mom’s expression in the background. |
I wanted my dress as tight as possible, but loose enough that I could still breathe. I think Laura only heard “as tight as possible,” because she literally gave it her all:
 |
| Another favorite picture from the day! |
I loved having my best friends there with me, and I think they enjoyed it a little bit, too!
Lacing the dress was a lengthy process, but so worth it in the end!
Once it was all laced, Laura needed a couple more hands to even and straighten everything up.
And with one more minorābut very importantāadjustment, I was almost good to go!

GOREGOUS photos!
Looove the photos. I want your photographer lol.
These are such amazing, fun and beautifully gorgeous photos!
I love your wedding photos…and you have a fantastic smile š
Awwww these are great photos! I adore the one that you love so much – the smile on your face as you were about to slip on the dress is sooo cute!
Gorgeous! I love the "lacing up the dress" picture. Hilarious!
Amazing pictures!!!!! I loved your bride undies! They looked super comfy…instead of the thong *wink.
What gorgeous pictures! I LOVE the last one! Nothing like some *boobs* to make a good pic! Cute panties too! I never thought to get a pic of mine- Navy blue with a cream lace trim!
Yes, kudos to you for not wearing a thong! š Way to buck the trend!
My friend did the exact same thing. She bought the last dress in that style in the state, she needed a 14 and they only had a 10. So she got lacing put in the back. Great solution, I thought!
