Wedding Dress

You assume correctly. She saved us bundles of money when we were first married; made all of our girl's clothes until they became brand conscious. She enjoys it, can make or alter most anything, and has as much business as she wants.

The most favorite birthday cake requested from my mom was a "bikini cake". All the guys went ga ga over the breasts with cherry (and stems) as the nipples (the jokes we're never ending).

In my moms defense, she went to church every Sunday and was very religious, but she could have always have a good laugh...

I knew my wife was the one when she went in looking for a wedding dress and the woman asked her when the wedding was. She (my wife) told her in 3 months. The woman was flabbergasted. Wife picked a off the shelf dress for $300 and she looked just as beautiful. Wife sews (she still did our sons stripes on his dress blues which per regulations isn't as easy as it seems), but it's not what she really loves to. What she loves is cooking, and she's great at it. My wife made the comment that a lot of girls / woman don't know how to cook from doing baked goods for the church.

I hope she recorded all her recipes in a cook book; it's a legacy like no other.

She did, for the most part. No cookbook, just index cards help upright in a my mom's "index box" (my dad made sure she got them).

My wife never met my mom, but she did meet my one aunt when my aunt was alive. My wife always made the comment she wished she spent more time with my aunt when she was alive in the kitchen to go over some certain recipes. Reality is we lived 9 hours away and perhaps made it home once a year for Christmas.

I do tell my wife that she is just as good of a cook as my mom was (and it's true, she has me eating foods that my mom could never make me like or I just never liked), but it does irritate her on those few dishes where it's not EXACTLY like my mom made

That said, I tell her that she actually makes some dishes better than my mom made.

My dad loved my wife better than me, no doubt my mom would have felt the same.

That said, cooking is becoming a lost art in general.

Very nice, but the bride seems to be rather young, don't you think?

It looks really great! Especially take into account the fact that the work is much smaller than sewing for a person. Such small and meticulous work proves the fact that your wife is a very careful and diligent person. Oh, when I saw this dress, I immediately remembered my recent wedding (by the way, it was already the fourth, lol). I was struggling with choosing a costume for a very long time, until my cousin Philip told me about https://www.gentlemansguru.cоm/product-category/wedding-tuxedos/. Maybe it will be useful to someone.
