Old Photos: Bobby & Hannah's Wedding, June 25, 2000

This brings back lots of memories of sewing lots of purple dresses.  One bridesmaid's dress wound up a wee bit too small; another wound up a wee bit too big.  They traded -- and all was well.  Whew.

Hannah's gown originally had a very long train on it, which she did not want.  I took pictures of her in the gown with the train still on it -- and then I cut it off and used it to make Victoria's dress.  Hannah put that exquisite beadwork on Victoria's dress, matching it to the beading design on her own.  Hannah made Caleb's ringbearer pillow.  (I think.)  She put the beading on it, too.

That Sunday afternoon, the tornado sirens went off several times.  There were tornadoes to the northeast that caused extensive damage to several farmplaces.  This was the view from our house.  We couldn't actually see the tornadoes, but we could see definite circular movement in those strange clouds.

... and the ringbearer saw that.
