sisterly love

a month ago, my sister sent a very important package to my parents' house....an event they forgot to mention to me, but oh well. last weekend, they came to visit us in huntsville and brought the package with them.

what could be in this very important package, you might ask? well, the answer is my sister's wedding dress which has now become my wedding dress.

the night we got engaged, the first person i called after calling my parents was my sister who immediately started crying (if you know my sister, this isn't necessarily surprising). the first thing she told me how happy she was for us. next, she yelled at danny for not proposing while we were in california visiting her & jim the week before. the next thing she told me was that if i wanted to, i could have her wedding dress to wear.

she got maried almost four and half years ago, and i loved her dress. it was beautiful then & it is beautiful now. i love the detailing (i don't know that danny knows what that means, so i don't think i gave too much away). i tried it on sunday night after my parents left (danny wasn't home). after i got it on, i realized that scarlett wasn't the best person to use the camera, so i attempted to take some of myself. unfortunately, i can't post the few the pictures that are kind of okay straight to the blog, in case danny wanders over, but i posted a link below to a secret album where you can see some (danny, do not click!)


besides the dress just being beautiful, i love that we've started a tradition...we've created a family heirloom. it makes the dress so special that my sister wore it when she got married. i know that my sister is excited that i'm going to wearing the dress, but i'm not sure who is more excited or who it means more to - me or her...i love you, sister.
