8/29/09 - going to the chapel

So then we made our way to the church and our room for final preparations.

Something borrowed, old & blue!

This ring belonged to my grandma (I affectionately called her Nana). When she passed away, my mom got most of her jewelry, and this ring was one of her favorites. So my mom let me borrow it :) I was so happy to have something of Nana's to carry down the aisle, I know she would have loved to be there in person. I was very, very close to her!

Ryan's mom gave me a beautiful handkerchief with my new initials. I wrapped it around my bouquet and carried it down the aisle as well! She wrote me a beautiful note that made me tear up and want to cry. I'm so blessed to be a part of the Duckworth family!


And the preparations are completed with something new...my dress!


I only had to use the bathroom once that day, thank goodness! It was a beast to get on & off and the bride's bathroom was the size of a refrigerator. Not easy to get in & out of even without a big dress on. Thank you Holly & Ashley for helping me out :) True friends!


Next post...the reveal!!
