wedding dress

Lucky gal Yin Mi was presented with a dress made from 9,999 roses by her beau Xiao Fan in honor of their engagement. The word for "nine" is auspicious in Chinese because it sounds the same as the word for "forever." This is great and all, but being the OCD person that I am I would probably chuck one more rose at her just to hit 10,000.

Love the waistline details, and those gloves!

... I'm talking about the space suit, not the bride.

Come to think of it, that red glow might be from something other than bashfulness.

All hell was to break loose until I realized it was my fur-baby keeping everyone at bay.

He/she looks like one tough bodyguard! You are well taken care of at your wedding.

This pic is from my wedding 5 years ago. My husband and I met doing medieval re-enacting, so of course we wanted a medieval wedding. It took me 7 months to make everything. I made the beaded trim for his cotehardie—all 8.5 feet of it. There is another 22 inches of beaded fringe on the end of his hat. My dress has 13,000-14,000 individual beads sewn onto the brocade. I also made my jewelry and hair combs. His hat is stuffed with fur from the dog.

...Well you certainly won't be outshined by a bridesmaid in this gown!
