Vegas Baby

My cousins David and Kate were getting married and they chose Las Vegas for the place to do it.
THEY ARE SO AWESOME FOR THAT!!!
It was a whirlwind of 4 days consisting of drinking, gambling, dancing and of course LOVE!

All of our family was there to celebrate these two lovely people.
Here are some of my favorite moments.

Gram and I worked SO hard on my dress I wore to the wedding.  
I love Gram so much, and I am blessed to have her in my life.
And Sar....she is a pretty awesome person and even better sister.
We had a blast together.



 Fordney Family...pretty normal. Clearly.


These are horrible cell phone pictures,
but I love them.
David was going to loose it as Kate walked down the isle.
It was one of the sweetest most innocent moments I have witnessed.
You know that movie 27 Dresses?
I too look at the groom when the bride makes her grand entrance.




Put your hands together for the newly weds!!
Mr. & Mrs. Fordney!!!!!



Yup....mini cupcakes.
Enough said there.




We shared a photo like this one at Alex's wedding.
It is one of my favorite in the whole world.
I sure miss these guys.
Alex and his beautiful wife Rebecca and cute baby bob Jonah live in Tennessee,
and David with his new lovely wife Kate live in New Jersey.

Wedding shenanigans! 
Uncle Mike "borrowed" my sunglasses while in the restroom.
Mom snapped a picture of him and said 
"I'll save this for a rainy day" hahahaa
I just got the picture in a text message this last weekend.




No biggie,
wedding attire at Burger King.

Also on a random note.
Sarah LOVES Celine Dion.
I know right??!!
Hilarious....anyway, we went to her show.
Sarah was like a little kid in a candy store.
It was so fun to watch her and have such an amazing time.

We were seated in a box,
totally awesome by the way.
We danced the whole time!!
I didn't know I was so familiar with Celine Dion songs haha
I had a great time,
and so did my family.


Waiting nervously for the show to start.




In all we had a blast in Vegas.
I don't want to go back for a long time haha
It was tiring, 
I'll never get that $60 I gambled away,
and my suit case came home smelling of smoke.
But I will always remember this family trip,
how much fun I had and the love that was celebrated!!

LOVE!!!!



First Fitting


If I'm not mistaken all weddings have inspiration, 
here is the dress inspiration.
Thanks David's Bridal haha




SOOO....since the last time we met,
Gram Honey has been busy!

She completely took the top half of the dress apart to take off the
"yucky" (the outdated poofy sleeves and turtle neck) as Miss Steph likes to call it :)

The orange fabric represents the new added piece.
Complete with sweetheart neckline and cap sleeves.
Once finished it will be a beautiful lace overlay.


The back of the dress has an elegant cutout,
perfect for Steph!



You can kind of get the idea of the whole dress.
It is hard to look past that orange fabric,
but trust....it's going to be FABULOUS!!!

I'll keep you posted through out the construction,
or rather deconstruction of the dress.

In a few short weeks, 
it will be ready to wear come
