Oh.my.
You guys are just way, way, way too much fun.
{Thank you, I needed all the giggles!}
Mammy:
I guess I will have some “‘splaining’ to do”
{and your comment has had me giggling anytime I think of it!}
Luana:
since we’ve talked on the phone,
I can totally hear you saying it.
Ainsley:
please don’t stomp your feet – it’ll make ’em hurt
and then I’ll feel responsible!
Susan:
I was reading your comment and somehow I read this:
“Tell the groom to shave his leg off.”
{I know, I know….somehow my brain twisted the words…
and I am still chuckling…told ya’ I was kinda sleep deprived!}
Andrea:
Maya Grace has the same polka-“tot” shoes?
They are my favorite {found ’em at a yard sale before I even went to Africa to bring our little treasure home.}
Peggi:
Oh.my.gracious. –
please pray with me that that dream is prophetic!!
Pleeeease!
Kelly G.:
You are so right!

Serena:
Your comment drew a belly-laugh out of me.
{“You’ve seen one, you’ve seen ’em all.}
Seriously, still grinning.
puckettfarm: totally selfless of you dear friend…
I actually was surprised that Martha, Rebecca, valerie in Texas, skitkat19, Joy, Tessaraemum, -*-The Family-*-,
Mindy, Valerie and Jeff, Kristy, had such self-restraint to say:
“NOOOOO! Karl might see.”
How sweet of so many of you to care that
posting it might ruin the surprise!
Now stephanie and pandabird –
you guys loved the third one?
You mean this one?
She was trying it on one more time….just to be sure…
Did she like this one better….
It turned out that that was Autumny’s SECOND choice.
It did look really beautiful on her…
but it didn’t make her eyes sparkle and her face glow like
“THE”
dress…
And
since I promised a SNEAK PEEK
and being a woman of complete integrity
{just for the record
dictionary.com’s
definition of “peek”}
to look or glance quickly or furtively
especially through a small opening
or from a concealed location;
Sooooo,
let’s crack the door open a bit….
for a bit of a peek:
Hey! I promised a peek
and, yes indeed, that is her in her dress!
xo
Love it! 🙂
Haha! I kinda thought that was about how much of a 'peak' we would get!
not enuf of a peek tho! Too funny! I am sure whatever Autumn chooses will be beautiful on her. After all these years I want to see my dress again but it's in a box that sealed and I so want to just get it out and take photos of it and put it with flowers. I just might this spring! It's not gonna be worn by anyone soon anyway. Have a good weekend.
Stinker! I wanna bigger glimpse! BUT, I can wait til the wedding pics because, really, I don't want Karl to see either 😉
You are so sneaky! And frustrating! And, although you "technically" gave us a peek… does what you showed actually count? I say NOT! 🙂 You crack me up! 🙂
Ok maybe we need more than a peek….lol
HA! HA! You're horrible! (In a good way!)
SHUT UP!!!! You stink! : ) better be glad we all love you!!!
HAHAHA! If that one dress is her second choice I can only begin to imagine how beautiful she'll be in her first. 🙂 August is a wonderful time to be married (going on 11 years for us) and I'm sure it will be fantastic – can't wait for pictures of that amazing day!
that dress was my favorite, so I can't wait to see how awesome she looks in "the dress."
You are hysterical friend!
I don't even agree with you showing the dress, but you could lose friends over that one. Haha
Oh Linny! I just love your sense of humor! Good think you didn't spoil Karl's surprise and now ours too. 🙂
No THAT was just cruel!
That's horrible. But hilarious at the same time. Thanks for the laughs!! I can't wait to see the pictures of the wedding!! Congratulations!!
You are too funny! I completely bought into it until I saw "the picture" . . . hee, hee
blessings,
janet
Oh my word. You crack me up. I just knew there was no way you'd actually show us the dress in all it's glory.
You are such a tease!
Guard the dress when you get it home. My dad spilled coffee down the front of my daughter's dress within 10 minutes of getting it home. We had less than a month to get another one made from the designer.
Autumn's wedding will be perfect!
Pure torture my friend! You are rotten to the core!
Wrong, Linny. Just wrong.
< wink >
~Kelly
you are baaaaaaaaaaaad!!!! This means you might have some blog stalkers crash the wedding to make things a little more even 🙂 We promise we won't eat much.
🙁 not fair…… *really stomping feet* hahaha
Thats just plain mean! I am never reading your blog again. Ha ha totally kidding. That was awesome and hilarious. I can't wait for her big day. She totally deserves a million smiles as does your whole brood. Love you all.
You are too funny! Still LOL.
I love the one that she is wearing in the photo (her second choice). Can't wait to see what #1 looks like!
My girls and I were watching say yes to the dress last night and they were telling me which ones they wanted – they are 6 and 9 yrs old. The 9 yr old told me that her budget for her dress will be $4000, and she expects me to pony up. They learn so young.
You are a mean woman, Linny Saunders.
Ahahaha… you sneaky, secretive, mom of the bride, you! Lol!! 😉
AAA-hahahahaha – you are crackin' me up!!! 🙂
haha you got me laughing 🙂
Tsk, tsk!!!!
I know we're not going to see that dress until August! You are having way tooooo much fun teasing us!!!
Hah, oh dear. You are too sneaky!
Oh, Linny, that peek just isn't fair
You have kept your word. And we must honor that. And laugh while we wait for the big day. Great post! 🙂
I love it! That is just enough of a peek to know SHE WILL BE BEAUTIFUL IN IT! 🙂 Thanks for sharing and the picture will be even better when her man is standing beside her as "Mr. and Mrs."
Well thank you for the sneek peek. You are off the hook as you have kept your promise!!! SO LOOKING FORWARD to seeing the WHOLE DRESS!!! am laughing alot as this is so funny lulling us with a peek and just a sliver!!!!! ONLY 160 days now!!! yes am counting down too as so excited for you all. XXX
Evil person! I didn't think about Karl seeing… oh well
Ok..while I GET the whole KARL part of this…THIS was just cruel!!!!
Thanks for the very sliver of a sneak peek…
C~
Ha ha Linny! My thoughts as I was reading are as follows, "Surely she is teasing. I know Autumn wouldn't let her post a picture on her blog. Maybe she doesn't care (Autumn)? Wow, all of these dresses are beautiful in Autumn. Nope, no dress today… Just a peek! Shew, Linny I off the hook!" So now I (and everyone That wasn't with the beautiful bride when her dress was purchased) must wait… And wait … And wait… 🙂
This is try # 2 Linny so if you see the other one and this one isn't exactly the same, blame it on Mommy brain! So here are my thoughts when I read your post, "Surely she won't post a picture. Autumn wouldn't want that. Maybe Autumn doesn't care? No, I can't imagine that! Linny??! Really? Nope, no picture to that peek. Linny is off the hook! Now I suppose that anyone that wasn't there when the dress was purchased will have to wait and wait and wait to see beautiful Autumn in her dress! And how was that choice made when all of the dresses looked beautiful on her???
Oh, Miss Linny, you are one sneaky lady 🙂 LOL! I'm sure it's a beautiful dress!
Linny,
That dress is simply gorgeous! I do think her second choice was beautiful as well, but this is definitely THE dress that makes her a beautiful bride! 😉
Laughing hard!! You are a turkey, aren't you!?!! I really didn't think you'd post it. It would spoil Autumn's fun and the AWEsome moment she appears at the wedding. But, AFTERward, all bets are off! THEN pictures, P.L.E.A.S.E.!!!!
Oh Linny! How I laughed and laughed… you are JUST LIKE ME!!!! My kids call me a stinker because I don't let them in on special trips or surprises (or sometimes I just tease them by answering their "What's for dinner" with "food!")
You are indeed, my sweet bloggy friend, a woman of integrity… a peek is indeed what we were given! lol!
*groan…
what a tease!!!! she is such a beautiful girl no matter what one, i know she will look gorgeous! can't wait to see the pictures!!!
Oooh…aahhh!!! Gorgous! Stunning! Spectacular!
I love how "white" it is! And the length? Perfection. It's so "long."
Great choice and it DOES show off Autumn's eyes!!!
Love it!
Haha That is the BEST sneak peak I have ever seen!!!!
you are SO rotten :0)
SERIOUSLY?!?!?!?!!?!?! Cheeky!

Oh now that was just downright mean! But if anybody's going to be mean to me I sure don't mind it being you Linny! HA! Just love you so much right now! You made me laugh and smile so hard!
You are too much! The whole time I was reading, I thought…oh no she isn't. She wouldn't.
And…I was right! Looking forward to MANY pics from the miracle wedding day!
HA HA HA…love it…you crack me up!! =)
Oh! That is just soooooo wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂 You are just too much!
What a T. M. you are! As for me I liked the first one you know with the lace! BUT I totally understand about not showing Karl! Janet
that was wrong on sooooooooo many levels! lol
Linny! I knew you would never show us the whole dress but I thought you might show us more than this! haha. Can't wait to see THE dress when Autumn gets married!
