Josh also likes to peruse the Playmobil catalog. Who am I kidding?! Josh READS these catalogs every night before he goes to bed and in the morning, he tells me about all the Playmobil sets he wants. It's actually a brilliant marketing strategy by Playmobil to include a catalog with every one of their toys!
Anyway, lately, Josh has been asking for items in the Wedding scene of Playmobil. I figure this is going hand in hand with him seeing our wedding photo every morning (why he is in our bedroom EVERY morning is a completely different story!).
I was telling my girlfriend this the other day and she suggested that I do a dress up day with him and PUT ON my wedding dress. I thought this was hilarious. I haven't worn my wedding dress since 10-10-04. Seriously. But I asked Josh if he wanted to do a dress up day and he said a very enthusiastic YES, so I obliged.
The creator of the corseted wedding dress is a genius because my wedding dress STILL fits. The gap at the back might be a bit bigger (hahaha!) but who's looking anyway?! Josh had a blast seeing me in my dress (and the 20 minutes it took for Brian to do it up!). He even insisted that I put on the veil!
Aves, however, was not so excited. In fact, she cried! I hope it wasn't a reflection of how I looked in the dress, but rather a realization that all the crinoline in the skirt prevented her from getting close to me!

That's awesome! Sounds like it was fun!
Love it Yvette!!! Fun times!! I bet you were beautiful on your wedding day. My dress went to the cleaners 2 weeks after our wedding and they put it in a vacuum sealed bag and then in a box, I have never opened it since then ('96), it probably isn't even my dress- lol.
Great post and happy early anni!
I agree with you on the corseted dress. Only 2 weeks after my last fitting, before the wedding...I grew too much and had to pin the excess bow material to cover the gape. oh well. I'm jealous that you still fit in yours :-)
What a great idea!! You look fantastic too!
