Charlie and I began planning a huge wedding weekend getaway with all our family and friends in the Catskill Mountains early last year. I bought my Hayley Paige Remmington gown shortly after we were engaged. It was the first dress I tried on and I knew it was perfect for me. During the planning process we found out we were expecting our first child! We were determined to still have the wedding of our dreams despite my new tired and extra emotional demeanor. One change of plans I thought would be unavoidable was that my dream dress wouldn't be able to accommodate my growing bump. The seamstresses at Jaehee Bridal in Englewood, NJ were able to work miracles and altered my original dress to fit. They built up the back with beading to help me feel more comfortable. I still felt as beautiful as ever even at seven months pregnant. It truly was the most incredible weekend of our lives. There were moments of stress, especially planning this all during such a hormonal time in life, but with Charlie's support, and the acceptance that not everything in life can be controlled, it was possible. And as we shared our vows underneath the arbor that Charlie built I felt our little girl kick and everything seemed to be exactly as it was meant to be.
