I believe the cross and altar were built for the ceremony. I love her dress - but I can't believe Barbara's - she is such a pretty girl, and that dress is awkward.

My fiancée just about fell out of and off her chair this evening when she saw the pictures of the ring.
I had seen the story but had not looked at the photo links.
The ring that Jenna received is just about the same as what I presented to my fiancée!

The only different is that her stones were purple rather than blue.
Photo is somewhere in Ring Thread.

Ditto. Jenna's dress is wonderful. Kinda what I imagined I might pick out. Barbra's leaves a lot to desire. I wonder if Jenna was one of those brides that picked out ugly attendant dresses she they wouldn't steal the bride's spotlight. It almost looks like some kind of modified toga.

I didn't get Barbara's dress! It did not seem to suit her at all! I did like Laura's! It seem very fitting and beautiful for a mother of the bride.

Barbara's dress was a little odd. I would love to see a picture of the 14 women in the house party. BTW, what exactly is a house party, is this just another term for bridesmaids?

Barbara's dress looked as if it was on backwards.

Congrats to the newlyweds! That sunset was beautiful!

I had heard Jenna say prior to the wedding that she picked the color of Barbara's dress to match her "beautiful eyes". The rest of the house attendants supposedly wore colors that matched Texas wildflowers, but I don't know the style. Barbara's looks somewhat like a toga party, IMHO.

House attendants are somewhat like bridesmaids, but more utilitarian. One makes sure that the Guest Book is signed, another serves punch, etc.

I loved Laura's dress!

The sketches I saw of the house party's dresses looked cute - NOT like Barbara's. And the Texas designer who did Barbara (and Laura's) dress usually does a much better job.
