Like a Glove

It was a beautiful, perfect Saturday morning. The sun was warm, the skies were blue. My mom arrived the afternoon before just in time for a delicious dinner at our favorite Mexican food restaurant. We left in plenty of time, though parking was somewhat challenging.

My mom and the seamstress helped me change - it's definitely one thing a bride cannot do alone. I can't even do up the bra top in the back without help. It felt so wonderful to slip into my dress again, the crisp white fabric cool against my skin. I feel just like a princess every time I put it on. It fit like a glove when we bought it last May, all it needed was the bustle. The seamstress pinned the dress for the bustle markings...it's going to be beautiful.

The only difference on this day was that the dress didn't fit quite so well as it did before. It kept slipping down, being dragged by the weight of the fabric. I was sick with the flu only a week before and had lost 8 lbs. I later remembered that I had lost about 10 since we bought it. On the upside, at least it was too big rather than too small. They're doing the bustle now, and we'll wait to take it in until closer to the wedding.

The fiance joked that we could go out and splurge to gain weight...that won't be happening. I will never deliberately gain weight. It was gratifying to actually have lost. I've been working on toning and definition, I plan to keep it off. It's just rather entertaining since before it fit absolutely perfect. But I'm not worried, it will fit like a glove again soon. :)

It was so great to hear from you. Thanks for the visit to My Moody Blues today. I am so glad the wedding and marriage went so well... Did I say it was so nice to hear from you again. You made me day. ; ) I think of you often.

I can understand about the blogging issue. I took a bit of a break in September, and am just getting back to My Reading Corner again. I have the posts for my Moody Blues Blogs, ABC Wednesday scheduled up into January. So just go sign in on the ABC linky each week.

Check in once in awhile and let me know how you are. I always enjoy hearing from you. Oh, BTW I am going to be Great Gramma again in January 2012 and May 2012. That will be 12 Great Grandchildren.
That means I'm feeling young at heart.
