Wedding Planning

I saw this photograph and it reminded me of two things. The first thing that came to mind was my own wedding over 21 years ago. The second was that my nephew will be getting married in just over a year.

When my husband and I got married we were living in Southern California. We had one of our very first dates aboard the Queen Mary. They have a nice, intimate restaurant aboard and we had a very nice evening. It was so memorable in fact, we decided to have our wedding in the on board chapel. It was fantastic, small, but beautiful. The benefit of having it there was that they provided a wedding planner, so I really didn’t have to do much.

My mom & I went out shopping for my dress and I remember not being able to find what I had envisioned. Somehow, my mom came to my rescue and volunteered to make my dress herself. She is a wonderful seamstress, although, I don’t believe apparel is something she really enjoys sewing. She is definitely a quilter. But, she volunteered none the less and I wound up with the most beautiful, perfect dress. Whenever I look back on our wedding photographs, I am still touched by all the effort she put in to making that dress, and yes, I still have it.

My nephew and his fiance are all ready planning their wedding. They have the date booked and the reception hall reserved. They’ve been busy choosing cakes, tuxedos and dresses among other things. While they don’t have a wedding planner, I hope they are able to find a terrific photographer. A wedding is such an important part of our lives, the photographs should be excellent and provide lasting memories of the day. At Classic Photographers we make finding the perfect wedding photographer in Maine easy & convenient, unfortunately, they’re getting married in Indiana. I’m sure they will find the perfect wedding photographer, just the same.

I’m looking forward to their wedding, I know it’s going to be a very special day. I need to ask them if she’s chosen her dress yet, I wonder who made it.
