April 2001 Nirvana! Joy!  Me -- a bride!  I was practically trembling as I put on the bridal dress ... could barely speak when Victoria asked me to choose a veil ... and my mind ... oh, my mind and my feelings were somewhere very special ... about as far into dreamland as this girl's ever been :)

so afraid of losing control ... so rather stiff and unsmiling ... (but then, what bride isn't a bit nervous on her wedding day?)

before lifting the veil ...

finally!!  a bit looser and more relaxed ... enjoying the moment ...  well well well beyond cloud nine!

Well, was this a little more exciting? (i know it sure was for me!)
