And the winner is…

DUN…

DUN…

DDUUUUNNNN…

The people spoke (282 of you!)… and I listened. The majority of you voted on the #3. And so… I went with the Donna Karan strapless cashmere dress. I was comfortable and cozy all night long!

The wedding was incredible. The wedding was for my husband’s first cousin, Tracey – who looked absolutely gorgeous. She had more fun than any bride I have ever seen have at her own wedding. She danced and smiled and laughed and just had a blast. Even though this family is only related to me through my husband… I love them like they were my own blood. Tracey’s mother (Aunt Sandy) reads my blog every single day. She is one of the nicest people I have met… and I just think the world of her!

Here are some photos from the wedding. It was the FIRST time Matt and I had ever left the kids with anyone that wasn’t family. We survived. They survived. And I’m so glad I don’t have to do that again till May!

The beautiful bride Tracey!

We (OK, me) may look calm… but, we had just dropped the 4 boys off to be watched for the night! AH!

Posing with Matt (and my father-in-law!).

My favorite! Aunt Sandy!

Matt’s family – sisters and cousins!

My sisters-in-law Molly and Mindy – first time we’ve actually chatted without me chasing 4 boys around!

    I love it! You look totally gorgeous, and it looks like a fabulous time.

    Good pick…a clutch might have gone better than the large bag! But, still looked very nice.

    You looked beautiful! I’m glad you enjoyed yourselves at the wedding, and got to spend some time as a couple. So important for you both, and your little men!
    I finally got my pictures fixed and will post them tomorrow:-) They are no where near as nice as yours!

  5. Yay! Perfect choice! And I love that you went with those shoes, too, Ms. Gorgeous!

    You looked so beautiful.

    YEAH! You looked very beautiful! Great choice of 1) the dress, 2) the shoes, and 3) the necklace. WOW! Everything I suggested (tee hee) and a bunch of other people, too!

    Do this more often! This was FUN! I like to know that I can take part in suggesting things to a former “fashionista”. Makes me feel real special, as I sit here typing in my pj pants with a baseball cap on.

    Sigh.

    (And skinny!)

    Long, hard trip – sounds like us taking grandma, Brian, Lisa, Dom & I from Houston to St Louis throug east Texas and Arkansas in a Ford Explorer with luggage for a week – oh and don’t forget about Cody our over-sized Golden Retriever. (850miles one way!!!!)

    We understand completely!!!
    Dom & I had a great time at the wedding – and, more importantly meeting all the little Guys!!!! What a cute and fun family!
    Luv, Aunt Karen
