hello!!

my name is kaylynn. i was married to my best friend last saturday, novemeber 3rd, in hendersonville nc - at his parents' house. our wedding was inspired by the movie william shakespeare's romeo + juliet, also by john paul gaultier's spring 2007 haute couture fashion line, and a bit by traditional french culture. of course, the setting was

Thanks for sharing these!
Everything looked so pretty.
I'm doing the same colours for my wedding and it's nice to see how someone else pulled it off :)

thank you!!! it worked out great for such a small house wedding.

i loved the turquoise. my mother-in-law seemed skeptical, but i think it's a really fresh, clean, positive & happy color for a wedding. sometimes hard to work it in, but you'll do it!!!! :D hope yours goes well!!!!

ah. the radiohead wedding march. my fiance begged that i walked down the asile to radiohead, but since he picked our first dance song (picture in a frame; tom waits) i got to pick what i'm walking down the asile to (i will; the beatles).

anyway your wedding looked beautiful. and the dress is great for hiding your tattoos... i fell in love with a strapless dress and am just using a well placed wrap to cover my shoulder tattoos.

[graspingclouds]

yay radiohead!!! YAYYYY THE BEATLES!!!! good stuff. my mother-in-law really wanted me to use a religious song with synthesizers that sounded like an awful 80s elevator song... i said 'no thanks.' she was highly offended, hated the song i chose, and made sure everyone knew that she had picked 'a much prettier song' that i turned down.

though my HUSBAND is the one who made me love radiohead to begin with!! [she's always hated them - she used to throw his cds away when he wasnt around... haha.] but all's well that ends well, i got my way. :)

i wonder if a wrap would've worked for me. i had the HARDEST time finding one that would hide my shoulder, 1/4 of my arm, and was high enough to cover the anchors on either side of my chest. i love my tattoos, but yeesh. annoying. haha.

[snobbyshannie]

my wrap is huge. and im changing out of my wedding dress after the first dance.

my parents are shocked that im wearing a wedding dress in the first place, so they're okay with my changing. i'm covering my tattoos for them, even though i love them it's not a big enough deal for me to fight my parets on it.

my future mother in law went on a mini- gossip spree telling everyone that our marriage won't be legal because my aunt (who is a judge) is marrying us and not a priest or someone affiliated with the church. so who knows what she'll say on the wedding day (50 days to go!)

oh the joy of mother in laws!

[graspingclouds]

HA the joy indeed!!! at least mine lives 4 hours away... :D
