Hi Rina,
Congrats on the wedding. I would love to view the photo but I think there is something wrong with the post. Can't see it.
All the Best,
Liz J.

Hi -
The photo is indeed in the Gallery.
That must be the adoring Mom looking on as the photographer is framing the bride's face.
A little birdie in the background caught the moment.
Congratulations on the wedding and doing your part as The Mom!

Thanks girls, she was indeed a beautiful bride, but then again, aren't they all. Steph, that actually wasn't me in the pic, it was what they call "the dresser". What has this world come to that today many brides hire a dresser for the day of the wedding, to help with not just the bride but the entire bridal party, both girls, guys, moms dads, etc. I'll tell you one thing, for what she paid her, I think I may have found a new profession. I can travel with a suitcase full of goodies too such as a steamer, iron, sewing machine, etc. She has a nice little business going on. She actually works as head seamstress at the bridal salon where my daughter bought her dress and I do have to admit, she did come in very handy throughout the evening. She stayed until after the ceremony to bussel up my daughter's dress but she was extremely helpful to many. What will they think of next!
