Look of the Day: The Day I Got Married

May 13, 2009 3:42 PM / 20 Comments

Last Wednesday Donny and I decided to get married.  On Friday (my birthday; I turned 23) we filled out papers, and on Monday, May 11th, we were married in a quick ceremony by a minister I found via Craigslist!

I really wanted to wear white at first, but when I found this gorgeous cappucino dress, I knew it was the dress I should get married in.  Pic below is after driving around and after dinner, so forgive the wrinkles.

    Congrats/Best Wishes! Which ever one it is, that’s so exciting. You looked amazing. I love the dress, I think dresses that aren’t so typical for weddings are the best. Plus, the shoes are fantastic.

    I hate when I have guys take pictures of me. They always forget to get the shoes in the picture. The shoes make the outfit!
