ALL DRESSED UP... AND SOMEWHERE TO GO

 Tell the truth. Do you recognize the girls below after hair and makeup? Once a princess, always a princess.

 Make up and hair complete,  it was time for us too to get on our wedding garb and finish our princess transformation.  

Once dressed, I would be able to help my daughter the bride with all those buttons. So off I went while the Bride was finishing up in the make-up chair. One problem, I needed somebody to zipper me up. A quick call to Rabbi Aggie. Whew luckily she was available to come zipper me up!  


Upon my return, there beyond precious were the flower girls in their white princess dresses with rhinestone embellished satin waist ties. Hair ribbons from their Godmother Lori crowned their adorableness...

One very happy MOB

A little aside... Unknowingly the same day as the girls would be deciding their dress choice, Lori had given me a thumbs up for my dress which turned out to look like it was from the same designer the bridesmaids ended up choosing. 

Lo and behold both my dress and the girls's had the same lace. Yet, theirs was one shouldered but the identical color and mine did have sequins. A little MOB glitz. Well, yeah. Pretty unbelievable to be so coordinated. The Bride had a plan.

OK, back to buttoning the Bride's dress. 

 I don't think anybody thought about how long it might take to fasten all 43 buttons (according to the chief flower girl's counting.)  With a special hook in hand, I rested after a couple dozen as the photographer helped me with a couple until my fingers uncramped...  After a brief reprieve, I finished my button task and we had a bride. 

She was whisked away by the photographer. 

We all soon followed behind in the elevator for our last selfie together.
