    What a beautiful bride I see. Heather, my oh my, God's so good at creating isn't he. I love the Victorian Gowns, lace and all, and this is about the most stunning that I have seen. I can think of only one more beautiful bride that I have ever seen in my life...and I married her! You think I'd let my precious princess, forever Bride get away. No way. I am most blessed and your article has brought back such wonderfully treasured memories. Great job Heather. :-)
