Kittybean''s Wedding

[kittybean]

Our korovai, a traditional Ukrainian wedding bread used to welcome the new couple into the community--lots of symbolism in all the different adornments.

Beautiful! You looked gorgeous in your dress. It''s really cool to see your Ukranian elements. I''m almost 50% Ukranian (the other half is Polish), but I''m not at all connected to my heritage, so it''s great to learn about it!

 

[kittybean]

I''m back!

Family photo table--we asked our close relatives to bring their wedding pictures for us to display.

Delicious cake . . . nom nom nom.

My little brother and his girlfriend--they are super-cute, and you can see how pretty it was outside.

I had major, major dress drama (it had to do with a bad, bad dry cleaner and a stretched-out dress--more on that later) that resulted in an emergency trip to the seamstress the day before the wedding and in my bridesmaid having to sew me into my dress before the reception began after a wardrobe malfunction.

I brought my rehearsal dinner dress with me just in case I had difficulty with my dress at the reception, and I was so thankful I did. I changed into it before our first dance, and it made it so much easier to do our rumba/swing (to "Buena Sera" by Michael Buble). So here''s my "reception dress:"
