I loved my bridesmaids and flowergirl dresses. I wanted purple and green as my colors and everyone thought that would be an odd combination until we found the organza that made the skirts...beautiful, and it pulled everything together. I had more girls than most, and definately more kids than anyone I've talked to. The children in my life are very important and many of our decisions were made with them in mind.

On instinct, I asked Johanna to be my maid of honor even though I had thought about it before and intended on asking someone else.

I made the veil myself. Ah, the joys of hotglue... I'm just glad it stayed in my hair for the ceremony...no sooner was it over and we had walked back down the aisle, then it started to fall out.
