42 days to go and today the veil arrived, and it's gorgeous!!! I love it love it love it, so much better than the one I wore on my wedding day. Long story short, my mother in law made it for me, she asked if she could, I relented even though it didn't seem she was interested in my input on the design. Well, in fact, she wasn't, she made one she liked, I really didn't like it at all, but, trying to be a nice future daughter in law, I pretended to love it. Well, I find out years later that she sewed a cross somewhere hidden into the veil, to "protect" me in the temple. She is not LDS, so, naturally, she didn't feel it was right that we were being married in an LDS temple. What she didn't know is that I never wore that veil in the temple, I used the one provided by the temple itself, and put the one she made on afterwards for pictures.
Anyway, now I have the one I always dreamed I would have. It's perfect. I sold out so many times for other people the first time around. This time it's about what I want. I just hope I can be understanding of what my daughters want when their time comes. I will be posting pics of the veil and several other items a bit later today.
