Okay, picture time - the wedding dress!

This is the dress I bought to marry Rich in but we ended up getting married a year earlier than planned so I could get WLS. I bought it expecting to lose weight in that year as he lost weight after his surgery. Didn't know I'd end up getting surgery myself at the time. The dress finally fits a year after I bought it. Got it on eBay from a gal that ended up getting married sooner than she planned and less formal. So did I. Guess it is the "jinx" of the dress. I plan on selling it back on eBay. But I wanted to see it actually fit so I held onto it! Check it out on my picturetrail... http://www.picturetrail.com/kathynrich Kathy

Wow Kathy - absolutely beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks, Laurie! Kathy

Wow, Kathy, that's an absolutely gorgeous dress. Maybe you guys should consider renewing your vows (and commemorating your new, healthy lives together) just so you can wear the dress.

Thanks, Becky! We are going on a family cruise next July and I was thinking of having us renew our vows. We got married without family around. We got married just two months after my mother passed away and a month after a family wedding so the family have been through alot and had been traveling quite a bit. We did things very simply with a few close friends to witness and a relaxed luncheon at a friend's cozy coffee shop. We were married on a Monday believe it or not. The date was significant. It would have been my parents 52nds wedding anniversary. Anyway, I assume a year from now on the cruise...I'll be a few pounds lighter and this dress will be a distant memory! LOL! Kathy

Kathy, can I just say that you look truly amazing! I see the pictures of you and Rich on your picturetrail and just am in awe. You look like a different person even only 2 months post op! I cant believe it. The radical change on some people is just phenomenal. You are PHENOMENAL. You should be very proud............by the way, the dress is beautiful! Carrie

Awwww....thanks so much Carrie! You are too sweet! Kathy

Kathy, I love that dress, if I could even find a decent boyfriend I would be tempted to buy it from you, lol. Cary

*snort* Amen, Sister!

Thanks for sharing Kathy. You look so pretty in that dress. You're looking younger and younger each times I see a new pic of you!
