It was the summer of 2007. I had just gotten engaged and was looking through wedding magazines getting ideas for dresses I wanted to look for. I had dog eared a bunch of pages of several magazines by the time F-ing C came and sat on the couch uncomfortably close to me. She asked to look through one of the magazines while grabbing one off my lap (nice manners) so obviously I said "sure". She looked through a couple of my dog eared pages and then leans over and tells me in all seriousness "I could make this dress" (which looked a lot like the picture I've posted below). It took all my energy not to bust up laughing. If you know anything about F-ing C you know that the extent of her sewing skills does not include elaborate wedding dresses! Of course she also offered to make the flower girl dress, and the brides maid dresses, so w
hy should I be so surprised by the offer to make my wedding dress?! Really!?
Well after seeing her hand made protective coverings on the lawn furniture at the lake house I was a little frightened at the idea of her making a dress.... seeing as those were made out of old beach towels. I was afraid the dress was going to be some sort of patchwork design :D I remember how upset you were about that!
