The wedding
Tonight during dinner, Eva announced that she was going to marry her friend Caleb. Kaitlyn was quick to chime in:

"I'm going to marry Mommy!"

When I asked if maybe she wanted to choose a boy to marry, she said, "Oh yes, I'll marry Daddy then!"

Nich looked at her and kindly told her that he was already married to Mommy and then we showed her our rings, and told her we had a wedding. And, then she got all bug-eyed, and her jaw dropped. "You had a real wedding?! With Mommy in a white dress?! With rings?! Underwater???!!!"

"Nope, not under water. We have it on DVD, do you want to see it?"

Bigger bug eyes, more jaw dropping "YES, I want to see it!"

And then Eva got all excited and asked to see my dress. And, how can I say no to these sweet little girls, with their dreamy eyes.

"My dress is downstairs in storage, should I take it out and put it on? That will be the first time I will have seen it in 7 1/2 years!"

The girls were smitten, overjoyed. I brought the dress upstairs and they followed me to my room. My dress is a Size 2, I was sure I wouldn't be able to squeeze into it. But, I did! Mostly! When Eva tried to secure the final snap, she announced:

"Sorry, Mom, you are too fat!"

Funny girl. I was just happy it was on. The girls helped me with my veil. We took lots of pictures, then watched the video of our wedding.

Kaitlyn's eyes were glued to the screen and she kept saying that I looked like an angel. And, Eva kept going on about how beautiful the dress was.

And, when it was over they asked to watch it again.

So, we did.

And, it was so incredibly fun.

    Love this. LOVE LOVE LOVE. My dress was a little bigger, and I still can't fit in to it. But I must remember to show the girls my wedding video. So fun! And Kaylie was so little!

    I put my dress on recently for my girls too! I got it on but could not do up the zipper. We had a wedding dance party anyway and the girls were thrilled!
