ok, here is the website to look at my dress. In case it doesn't work, it is at casablancabridal.com in the fall 2005 collection, gown number 1794. The back will look different because I will not wear the sashes that way, but you will be able to get the idea.
http://www.casablancabridal.com/Products/Detail.asp?ModelNo=1794&Cat=Fall+Collection&SubCat=2005 Thanks to all of you who responded with potential wedding help! Anne, I think I will make contact with your dad's friend. He does nice work and gives you a lot for your money. I am still thinking I might just have a relative tape the ceremony of our wedding, and perhaps set up an area where people can leave their cheesy video messages...I am not sure yet.
My whole life is wedding plans right now, and I'm glad to see you all are interested :-) I will let you guys know as more plans are made.
