My mom was very thorough in her dress search. She shopped in Cincinnati and made the rounds up and down Michigan Avenue. She even confessed to post-purchase browsing on Mother's Day weekend "just to see if there's anything else out there." But I knew her dress was her dress from the second she tried it on. Definitely not standard MOB, yet still classy and so figure-flattering!
And just for further validation of her decision, I sent her this.
mom, it's your dress! on bridesmaids!
Her response:
I guess that makes me pretty hip and cool!
Damn straight, Patty.

I love these photos of my mom with my three brothers because they perfectly capture their personalities and her relationship with each of them. First there's Kyle, her oldest son and a big ol' mama's boy walking her down the aisle. Then there's Kevin, lovingly teasing her during cocktail hour. Finally, Ryan, her 19 year old baby, quietly observes from the background and hopes she doesn't give him a hard time about the beer he's drinking.
