God provides for a beautiful wedding

We officially have the beautiful wedding dress in our possession!  I posted a while ago about doing something crazy....buying a wedding dress on Amazon.  When Brenna got the box in the mail we were very doubtful this was going to work.  But, when she tried it on her eyes sparkled.  It was gorgeous!!  The only problem is that it needed a few alterations to have a perfect fit.  Alterations are expensive!!!  As I've mentioned before, we've given Brenna a budget and she is determined to make it work.  With a budget of $1350 (for the whole wedding, not just the dress), we weren't sure if we could afford alterations.  It's so neat how the Lord works!!  

I knew I wanted the dress to be everything she'd ever dreamed!  Part of that dream is a dress that fits her perfectly.  So, we started praying.  A friend of ours told us about someone they knew that did alterations.  I began praying, "Lord, please help her to charge less than $200"  When the sweet lady told us how much it would be for everything, it was $175.  Hallelujah!  That even included putting on a bustle!

So, after several fitting appointments, we picked up the dress.  It is so beautiful!  And fit for a stunning bride!

Brenna also found beautiful shoes.  Liberty was sweet to try them on and make sure they work for her Aunt Brenna.

 As I've said, it's amazing watching God provide.  Brenna had a pinterest board of all her dreams for her wedding.  God has provided each and every one.  For instance:

~Brenna wanted lots of white flowers and greenery.  My nephew's wife and a friend of mine gave us all the flowers and greenery from their recent weddings.  Guess what color?  White!

~Brenna wanted an arch built for the front.  Have you priced wood lately?  Yikes!  AJ had some leftover wood from a recent job that he was able to use for the arch.  Brenna stained it and it's gorgeous!

~Brenna found her dream dress on Amazon.  The price?  $149!

~A wonderful baker from our church is making the wedding cake. She is amazing at baking so it will be beautiful!

~Another sweet lady from church loves decorating.  We gave her the supplies we have and she is going to be working on the reception.  She is so excited and I know she will do a wonderful job.

~Ladies from church have offered to make the chicken salad and the pulled pork sandwiches.

~Joshua has a talent for design.  He designed the invitations.

~One of Brenna's friends took her engagement photos.

~Brenna's lifelong friend's Mom is a professional photographer.  Her gift to Brenna is to take the wedding photos.

It's just so amazing watching God provide, not just for needs, but giving my girl the desire of her heart.

3 more days until the wedding!
