Was there one picture or moment that made you feel like a bride?

I don't know why, but when I see these pictures, and even this part on the video, I get all excited and go, 'Wow, I really was a bride!' Maybe it's because of my train that I always envisioned having.

As for the moment, it was probably when I got out of the limo at the park to take pictures. All the kids were going 'Mommy, look at the bride,' and I had a bunch of strangers telling me how beautiful I looked. I was like, 'Wow, I'm usually the one going nuts when I see a bride. Now, I AM the bride!'

What were your moments and pictures?

riding in the limo to the church.....the entire morning was so surreal...and when we finally got driving i was like 'Oh my gosh! this is happening!' it was such an amazing feeling that i will never forget :) Plus all of my girls, flowergirls, myself & my mommy were all singing 'going to the chapel' at the top of our lungs lol...it was just really special :) And of course I have to say when the doors opened & i saw DH waiting at the end of the aisle...and then our first dance :)

Once my make up and hair were done. I posed for one of my favorite must duplicate photos (see below) . All of a sudden it normal me from the neck down but I was a bride-to-be from the neck up. My mom and gals noticed the look on my face. I'm a nervous nelly so they as well as I were surprised it didn't happen till 30 minutes before depart time.

neither one of these is even a remotely good pic of me, but it was right after i finished getting dressed and i was looking at myself in the mirror behind my parents' bedroom door, kind of in shock at what was happening and that the day had finally arrived!

Re: Was there one picture or moment that made you feel like a bride?

Hmm I don't know. I mean I wasn't nervous because it was all surreal and we were running late so I was more wired than anything. Even in my gettign ready pics Im not smiling which ***** because I was so like 'gtg gtg gotta MOVE!'

I'd say probably say that the moments that amde me feel like it was happening was when we were on the stairs the 5 minutes before they opened the wide doors to the ceremony area and my dad started helping me on the stairs. They snapped a shot at the top of the stairs then one when I walked down and of course into the hall and saw DH. I thought 'CRAP we are doing this! I'm going to be Mrs. L' Lol I almost got a hysterical fit of the giggles LMAO Thats why I have my lips pursed together funny-to keep em in.

At the top of the stairs-finally nerves:

Seeing DH for the first time and trying not to giggle because I was so self-consious of everyone watching and THIS being THE moment:

Him seeing me. LOVE this shot and I never saw his face when I walked in because I was so nervous I didnt peek up. Looked down. Im glad the photographer got it.:

there was one moment that was almost surreal - when they opened the doors my limo driver slowly opened and said, on behalf of camelot limos, congratulations on your wedding day and then i saw all the people in teh church, dh at the end of the aisle - it gave me goosebumps!

I would say arriving in the Rolls and when they opened the door to the church...WOW...what a moment!

It had to be when my son lifted my veil,and kissed me on my cheek while giving me away. ( He's 9 years old!!) It is then I knew he would have stability and guidance just as equally as I would being married.

Re: Was there one picture or moment that made you feel like a bride?

I have two moments when I finally felt like I was a bride....One- When I was walking down the aisle with my father..(I was balling the whole time..that I made my Dad cry...and he nevers cry) Two- when the judge announced us Husband and Wife...(It was the most surreal feeling..)

Hopefully I can download some pics later....

Re: Was there one picture or moment that made you feel like a bride?

Its so weird, it felt so surreal till i got to the hall, the first second I actually realized it though was when i got to the hall after all the pictures, after seeing my DH, i went to the bridal suite to pee, and I saw myself for the millionth time but it clicked then!
