First Dance At last by Etta James! We met online many years ago and went through so many things to be together having to face family obstacles, job loses, and living in different counties UK and UK.  It was crazy but we managed to make it through it all.  This song in the end was fit for us.

So for the dress laddies I chose white!  Many pick the Ivory but for some reason the white was stunning to me! Here is a clip of us getting ready in the morni

ning, and then the day after trash de dress video!
