I was looking at this person's recent photostream on flickr and admiring her wedding gown choices when I remembered a challenge from one of my flickr groups. the Solidarity League of Creative Women Distracted by ooooh! Shiny! Something about putting your wedding gown on again and taking a photo. Mind you this could have been about a year ago but I finally got around to it. Did I mention that this is a perfect group for me? So here I am, 8+ years of marriage and one kid later and the thing still fits. Ok so I can't raise my arms up over my head in it, but there's no guarantee that I could do that before so...yeah.

I love this dress. It's simple, elegant, and it was...rather pricey. Considering that I have no intention of ever doing that whole getting married thing again, it is worth it. Only my husband could get a picture of me looking this happy or relaxed. Another cool thing about this shot, I'm standing in our very own home. Not a rental, a house, with our names on the mortgage. Tres cool.
