Good for your wife. She's to be commended for her own design. There's something to be said for good ole American ingenuity. Why pay someone like a designer when you can do what she did and have someone make it locally who can do just a good a job or even better than a designer. Her "Bride of Frankenstein" dress sounded beautiful and what a memory she created, huh? Who would have thought you would be telling someone about this on something called the internet years later? :) You sound like a very loving couple. Keep up the good work and we wish you a long and happy life together. :)
Thank you!
