This Christmas, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for our Mom’s miracle back in February & that we got* to share this special moment together 🙏🏼❤️ My mom’s resilience, positivity, & strength after her near death accident have showed me that because I am her daughter, I can get through anything. And with a smile. Just like Mom.

At our wedding, she was not only present but dancing with joy as her happy self! Something we weren’t sure we would see again. Our greatest wedding gift 🥰

It was important to me that I had a piece of my Mother and Grandmother with me on our big day, a piece of who they are and the over 100 years of marriage between the two of them. I created a belt out of the wedding dress that BOTH my Grandmother & Mother wore at their respective weddings. This allowed me to also add a spiritual & religious element to our day. It was clearly meant to be as the color matched perfectly with my pronovias Spanish lace gown. 💕 I’m a very sentimental person & this moment of having my Mom put this belt on and pass down the values of her family to ours was one I will never forget. Forever together. Forever connected. ❤️ #somethingold #family 

Swipe right to see my beautiful Mother & Grandmother in the dress that I was so lucky to share a piece of on 11.11 and how I made it a part of my wedding look 👰🏻‍♀️ I also made sure to do a long train, just like them ❤️
