Mother of the Bride and the Tiara Trio

As most of you may already know, my sister and my brother in law plan on tying the knot in September 2011. I know that technically they aren't married yet but I still refer to Devon as my 'bil'. They've been together forever and referring to him as my sister's bf just sounds to 'teenagie' for me.
Just yesterday we went on a mission to try to find what might be our bridesmaid dresses, a dress for my sister and as my mom requested, something for her to wear. She wasn't with us for this adventurous shopping day so no matter what we picked, we felt like we did her a favor and for that, she should be thankful (insert evil laugh). :)

While I think we were able to nail down the bridesmaid dresses I believe the wedding dress is still to be determined. However, we did discover two things. First of all, us bridesmaids want to wear tiaras. Well, okay....mostly I want to wear a tiara and I do believe I shall be allowed as I aaaammmm the maid of honor after all. Even if my sister poo poos the tiaras, we may disobey because don't we look goooygeeeeous?!

The second thing is, I DO believe we found a dress for my mom in the role of mother-of-the-bride. She WILL be the talk of the ball that night. No?....

AHAHAHAHAHA, I can't help but laugh when I see this. My Aunt Nancy did such a wonderful job modelling it for us. :)

Another thing I think we (aka, me) decided on is that...and I mean this in the kindest way possible, my sister should NOT wear a tiara. Now this could be the angle or the way her hair was or the lighting or what have you but I think anyone that views this picture will agree. Does her head not look oddly HUGE, or is it just me?

All I can say is that it was a fun day and as much as I am relieved that my sister can check some things off her to do list, I hope it doesn't go by too fast. It's not often that I get to spend days like that with her any more now that we're older. And, despite the tiara thing, she's going to make the most beautiful bride. :)

Love you sis!!! <3>
