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?

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

When the limo pulled up in front of the church, all of the girls & my mom & daughter hugged me & got out of the limo. I sat in the limo alone for about 10 minutes watching all of my guests hug on the front steps as they all headed into the church. It was the first time that I had time to sit & think all morning and that's when it hit me. Then my limo driver & photog came over & said 'I have someone who would like to see you.' My daddy came up to the door & helped me out of the limo & we walked into the vestibule where the groomsmen & my in-laws saw me for the first time. That entire experince made me realize 'Wow... this is my wedding day! I'm the bride!' I still can't think about it without tearing up because I remember the feeling so clearly.

This is the moment I envisioned throughout the whole engagement so while it was happening it felt like I was living a dream...

This was another great moment of the day...

I was running late because of the rain and because my hair took longer, so I kind of rushed into the RH and upstairs to get dressed.

It hit me when I was all put together, bo-k in my hand, dress and veil spread out all behind me, starting to walk down the staircase to meet my FH. The look on his face......
That's when I had my princess moment.

Love all these gorgeous pics!
Here are my moments:

-When I first put on my dress
-When the look was complete-looking in the mirror
-When I walked down the aisle and saw FH and all our family and friends...I was moved to tears.

One moment was when I was riding in the limo with my Dad to the church and people outside and in their cars were looking at us drive by.

Here are some of the pictures, that I love to look at:

I was pretty much in control and wanted to keep everything going, but 3stick out to me. I got really giggly when getting dressed, knew it was time to go!

Seeing DH for the first time, I was practically dancing on the bus because I wanted himto see me soooo bad!

And when my dad lifted my veil, never thought I would do that, but I think it is sorta symbolic

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

What a fun post!!!!!!!!!

Mine was the moment my BFF, MOH was putting my necklace on me. Then my other BFF, BM, put on her special daisy earrings on me... I LOST IT! It was so great to have them and it just HIT ME!

OK, so looking at the pics close, the moments were reversed. LOL, now I remember, the earrings are so precious to my BM, that she wanted me to put them on BEFORE the dress so there was no chance of me losign them when the dress went over my head. They were my borrowed and I was very touched that she even let me borrow them knowing how much they mean to her. So that came first, then after I put on my dress, my MOH put the necklace on me and I began to lose it all over again.

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!

OMG! THIS POST gave me goosebumps!

I wish that I had a picture of 'the moment' it was when I walked into the photo studio at Chateau. I walked in and everyone turned at looked at me and then DH turned around, looked at me and he smiled the biggest smile that I have ever seen him smile.

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

i love this pic... it is as I am about to have my parents walk me down the aisle...i wasn't nervous at all...just so happy to finally be on my way to get married!

Then the second picture is the reality hitting me as Dh recited the vows he wrote which just blew me away!
