A day we weren’t sure would ever take place….
BUT God.
Always faithful!
We just had to begin with a little celebration of
something sweet and cold!
Six sisters
{Autumn, Emma, Liberty, Jubilee, Elizabeth and Ruby}
a mom-in-love-to-be
{Vicki}
a little ol’ grandma
{my mom}
Savannah
{was visiting and was able to join the fun}
and the mom-of-the-bride
{that would be me!}
Autumn had made tee-shirts for most of us…
Emmy
{the Maid-of-Honor}
{the Maid-of-Honor}
We kept texting Abigail pictures….
She threw her 2 cents in from California…
Abigail
{Matron-of-Honor}
and
Liberty
{bridesmaid}
{bridesmaid}
Autumn has two friends who will also be bridesmaids.
Leah and Molly.
Leah works with Autumn.
Molly has been a childhood friend since the girls
were babies, she will come from New York.

Molly has been a childhood friend since the girls

Elizabeth and Jubilee will also be flower girls and
little Miss Ruby is going to be the teeny-tiniest
flower girl being pulled in a wagon.
This was one of the days that we just couldn’t wake Ruby.
The next day she ended up in the hospital.
Who knew a Wedding Dress shop would
have so many mirrors?
Perfect for a dancing princess with a poofy dress!
And that dancing princess danced…
And she twirled….
And she giggled…
And she entertained….
And we all oooohed and aaaahed at the
beauty of the bride….
Oh the delight of seeing the glow on our
treasured blue-eyed daughter’s sweet face
who is perfectly in love with a Miracle-finance!
Each one making the bride look stunning!
So many options….
But there was that ONE.
You know the ONE?
The ‘ONE’ that makes her entire being light up?
The ‘ONE’ that she had long been dreaming of???
You know what I mean?
AND so sweet bloggy friends…

Do ya?
I have been reading your blog long enough to know you will tease but not tell.
Absolutely!
Are you kidding me Lin?
Yes!!! But you can't post it! 😉 How would you keep Karl from peeking?
What a beautiful post and a beautiful family. The love of Christ shines through!
Aw now…that was a teeny bit mean! Of course we want a sneak peak!
Okay, a wedding dress sneak peek lures me out of lurking … can you post it without spoiling it by having the groom see it? If so, I'd love to see it! I do love wedding dress shopping and TOTALLY know that feeling of seeing THE dress. Cannot wait to see her beautiful wedding clothes … even if I have to wait until August 🙂
Hugs,
Valerie
OF COURSE WE DO! 🙂
Do you even have to ask if we want a peek?! Of course we do! =D
Oh yes please!
YES, YES, YES…..I wanna peak!
Nah. You know how it is with wedding dresses- you've seen one, you've seen them all…. Kidding! OF COURSE WE WANT TO SEE!!! We're women after all. (minus your few male readers) I can only imagine how beautiful Autumn is going to be on her wedding day.
Awww…. Autumn lights up the room in ALL of those dresses – she's beautiful!
And yes, I'd love to see the dress!!! 🙂
You know we all want a sneak peak!! You are such a teaser!! Thanks for the smiles.And what a pretty princess twirling in front of the mirrors,oh so gracefully!!
YES we do!!! As if you have to ask!!! LOL! She will be beautiful in anything she decides to wear!!!
Linny, you tease! I'm not exactly a lurker because I've posted before, but not often. But even all your "calling all lurkers to de-lurk" posts haven't drawn me out… until now!!! Seriously, you're going to ask us if we want to see Autumn's dress?!?!?! Of course we do!!!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a fun day you girls had!! I am so excited for her. I can't wait to see the dress but we don't want Karl to see it too!!!! LOL
Tricia
YOU
ARE
A
STINKER
!!!!!!!!
Love,
B in Texas! haha 🙂
Yes, Yes, Yes, PLEASE!
You do love to tease!! Of course! (As long as Karl won't be looking!) 😉
Oh Linny! You are sooooo tricky!!!! Of course we want a peek!!! Of course, she looks beautiful in all of them!
Yes!!!!!!
You know we do!!! But I'm guessing we won't get one LOL. Can't wait to see it, congratulations to the beautiful bride to be and her miracle fiance!

Um…let me think about that for a moment….YES! But bet I have to wait until August, huh…. Looks like fun was had by all. Enjoy and Blessings, Megan
Um, let me think about that for a second…
DUH!!!!!!!! Of course I do! 🙂
No, no, no! You can't show the wedding dress – that is for all to see when she walks down the aisle to her groom. Save the gasps for August 18th at 3:00 p.m.! Well, of course, you should show us a few days later after you have recovered from the festivities.
Oh, you like to tease us! You know now we'll be stalking your blog even more than usual! LOL
How wonderful that so many could join in the fun! Looks like you all had a blast. And I LOVE the little twilring dancing princess pics! 🙂
Love the pictures! You are a stinker! show us the dress! Janet Autumn you look BEAUTIFUL ineach one
hmmm!!!! have a feeling that it is going to be 162 days till we get to see THE DRESS!!!!! and that will be on the 18th of August 2012 after the bride has got married and when someone has time to post a picture!!!!!
Bit like the wait for the royal dress last april!
So pleased for you all and thank you for sharing such a fun time. I am so loooking forward to seeing pictures of you all on that day. So 162 days and COUNTING!!!
love, hugs and prayers to you all XXX XOX XXX

Of course we do, but I know you, Linny, you love to tease us too much!! You won't make it that easy 🙂
Yes!
You are such a tease!
Oh Linny you are soooooo cruel! YES, I WANT TO SEE THE DRESS! The girls look so beautifully happy!!!
Ok, You are so absolutely MEAN!
You can't post a picture or Karl will see it!!
HAHAHA! Love you Linny! You big 'ole meanie! (Not that your old or anything, wink~!)
~Hugs~
Hahaha YES!! You just LOOOVE to tease us don't you???? Show the dress!!!
Well, of course we all want to seethe dress without the groom seeing it, right?
Love from NC
Yes, but knowing you…I'm sure you are going to make us wait. 🙂
Ummm……YES!!! 🙂
LOVE LOVE! I want to dance with your sweet Elizabeth someday!!
And no…we should not see the dress before the wedding:)
Yes, yes, yes!! Definitely a sneak peak!!
janet and gang
Had a dream that I was babysitting Ruby and I turned around and she was on her hands and knees getting ready to crawl. It was a very exciting moment.
I'm guessing that since you left us hanging, we have to answer you with a big YES!!!!! 🙂
Of course we do! Just a little peek… =) Autumn looks so beautiful and happy! So sweet that all the girls were there – lovely family!
I certainly do, but I certainly don't want you to ruin the surprise for the groom!!
~Beth
Noooooooooooooooo! Some things are worth waiting for! And if THE dress makes Autumn look any more beautiful than the pics you already posted, then it is definately worth waiting for! I will put Aug 18th on my calendar and can't wait for pictures on that day!!!
Woah! this is totally not fair!:) Celebrating with you…
YESSSSSSSSSS!!!
Yeah, but I doubt you'll show us. Waiting stinks…but I love that 3rd dress you showed. She looks beautiful!
awww, such a beautiful bride to be!! 🙂 are you really going to post a pic of THE dress?? what if her miracle-fiance checks your blog and sees it?? he's not supposed to see it until the wedding day! lol but on the other hand…heck yeah i wanna sneak peak! 😀
What a beautiful day with beautiful girls!! Wouldn't cha know that my little Maya Grace just so happens to have the same little polka dot Pedipeds as your sweet Ruby Grace…. AND as I am typing this message, Angels Among Us just started playing. I immediately got choked up because this song has been special to me since I was a little girl. It is so beautiful and the words couldn't be MORE perfect! Loves!
Um…YES but I am sort of thinking that I am not going to get one. 🙂
you better believe we want a sneak peek!!! There will be a blog stirke if you don't!!! 🙂 🙂 Tell the groom to log off so he doesn't see 🙂
You BET I do! Oh, how I love weddings! I can't wait to see the dress! xoxo
Ummmm…..let me think about that for a second…..YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No. :p
You wouldn't really post it….
Now would you
Really
😀
of course and will it have some pretty sleeves or straps? Oh fun to pick out dresses! Thanks for sharing the photos and fun, m.o.b.! I have only been a m.o.g. Fun! Hugs!
Not to be sarcastic or anything, but…DUH!
LINNY!!!! you can't do that!! *stomping my feet* haha you are such a teaser!! please post a photo soon! 🙂
I knew you wouldn't show us but I will still call you a TEASE!!!!
I knew you wouldn't show us but I will still call you a TEASE!!!!
Ohhhh, you KNOW we would love to see it!! BUT….we can't risk Mister Karl getting a peek at it before the big day, now can we? 😉
nope, no sneak peek…never know if Mr. Groom stalks your blog 🙂 (unless of course it doesn't matter if he sees the dress beforehand 🙂 )
such fun for little twirly girls in front of sooo many mirrors!
Hahaha! I started reading this post earlier today but had to stop and make dinner. Then, in the middle of the night I thought, "Hey, I never saw which dress she chose!". So I got out my phone to see and you aren't telling!!!! That cracks me up! Ahh, well, I guess I will have to wait until after Aug. 18. Sigh…
Megan
You're such a tease! hahaha!
I'm in tears!!! Autumn looks so beautiful!!! I think the third one was my favorite but i wanna see THE ONE!!!!
Linny honestly is you tease us til August!!:(
Nope, not going to happen Miss Linny…you will NOT suck me in this time (LOL!)
I already knew what you were up to as I started reading this post and I'm not taking the bait.
I will happily wait…happily.
No Google searches, no lack of sleep, no checking your blog every 5 minutes…not.going.to.happen.
Nope. I'm waiting.
(LOL)
Luana
Linny–Why do you hve to be so mean? You know we were all holding our breath for the next pic! I'm pretty sure you are going to have to explain this attitude when you get to heaven…:)
Now post it, for Pete's sake!!!!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Of COURSE we want a look!!! What a tease you are! I just did this with my daughter and her sisters a couple of months ago…special times! 🙂
What a wicked post! OF course we want to see it. LOL! We're waiting until August, though, aren't we? 🙂 Congratulations! So excited for you guys!
Well??? Of course! My oh my, your Autumn looks beautiful in every dress! And the mirrors! My "Beautiful Joy" would be in spinning heaven! Glad yo had such a fun day. Sorry to hear about Ruby.
P L E A S E!!!!!!!
Well of course we all want to see the ONE! But you can't let us see it! Otherwise, Karl might see it…and he can't see it until she walks down the aisle! This post had me laughing and crying all at the same time! God is so very good.
Of course we want to see! : )
I knew you were kidding but I am wondering what color her hair will be. My vote is for dark which is so beautiful with blue eyes.
I think the only way we can have a sneak peek is to be there at the church and ooh-aah when Autumny walks down the aisle! 🙂 🙂
Can't wait. I love how she loves Karl!!!! Karl is one lucky guy to have her!!!!!!
We know well enough to know that you are teasing us…. I know she would be beautiful in anything even a paper sack, but I can tell by your excitement that she will be stunning beyond description!! I can't wait for the "official" pics
I'm one of those lurkers that usually doesn't comment. Hopefully I can change that bad habbit. I think I've been reading your blog for about 2 or 3 years now. Anyways…. I'm also getting married and I stumbled across something on Etsy and instantly thought of Ruby! I attached the link, its a little red wagon that says here comes the bride!
