Wedding Take Two?

February 8, 2013 | blogging, family

 

Some of you may have seen the teaser photo on my social media accounts yesterday, asking why I was wearing a lot of makeup and nice jewelry. Well, I got to do something fun with Bobby yesterday…we were in a local TV commercial for a hospital, and we had to dress up as a bride and groom! Also, I got to wear my own wedding dress! It was a lot of fun (and we got paid, which REALLY makes it fun!)

Bobby and I have dabbled in acting/modeling for years and we enjoy it when we get the chance to participate.

We headed to a church not far from our house to shoot the commercial, and once we got me into my dress (which takes forever!) It was show time.

Truck full of filming equipment

It was neat to see again all of the work that goes into filming just a short scene, those guys work hard! We had to stand and smile, look at each other, kiss, etc. and only shot for about ten minutes. However, I can’t wait to see the finished product!

Not to mention, I never thought I would put my wedding dress on again, so we couldn’t resist taking some fun photos since I was all gussied up. So, here you go, six years later! We had a blast taking these.

I will be sure to post the finished product whenever I get to see it.

QOTD: Have you ever worn your wedding dress for anything other than your wedding? Do you still have your wedding dress? Do you plan to save your dress?

    You look gorgeous! Getting to wear your dress again must have been so fun! I am not yet married, so I haven’t gotten to re-wear my dress (it lives in a garment bag for now). I’m sure I’ll cleand it and keep it, but I don’t know if I’ll get it profesionally preserved.

      I thought about it but its a lot of money to have it sit in a box. I have mine in a zipped up garmet bag.

    Beautiful! I do have my wedding dress and I want to make it into Baptismal gowns at some point. Em missed being baptized in one (she wore the one I was baptized in though).

      I thought the same thing about making a dress for a (hopefully) one day daughter!

    You look beautiful.
    My wedding dress was covered in beer spills and sweat. I didn’t take it in immediately to get cleaned, thus it was ruined. Nope, never will wear again… That’s ok. It’s like 5 sizes too big anyway.

    Omgosh! LOVE this 🙂 How fun! I can’t wait to see the finished product.
    I am wearing my wedding dress again. I am going to wear it to run the 5km at the RunDisney Princess Half Marathon 🙂 I can’t wait! It will make for some great fun run pics 🙂

    I still have my dress. Safe in its box preserved for later. Not thinking my daughter will want to wear it. Times have changed in 16 years. Don’t know if it would fit me now. How fun for you. Maybe one day I will open it up and see if it still fits

    I do still have my dress. My mom & I have both been on a weight loss journey and plan to pull out our dresses for “way too big” photos when we reach our goals (both within 10 lbs of goal but well below our marriage day weights). Should be fun!! 🙂

    For our 10th anniversary, my husband and I put on our wedding outfits and took pictures. We plan to do it again on our 20th!

    How Fun! My husband and I actually met shooting a commercial together many years ago.

    I think I still have my wedding dress somewhere? I’m 100% sure I will never wear it again I was pregnant at my wedding and the dress is HUGE. I’m not sure why I’m even saving it. I have two boys so I know they won’t be wearing it!

    • Heather says

      February 10, 2013 at 9:30 am

      that’s cool!
      LOL about the boys

BACKSTORY TIME! 🚘 I drove the same Toyota 4Ru BACKSTORY TIME! 🚘 

I drove the same Toyota 4Runner for 14 1/2 years. Last October, we got a good deal on a Highlander platinum with 10,000 miles on it from @foxtoyota. 

The only problem is, I wanted the Grand Highlander platinum, because it has way more cargo room, legroom, and some other features that the regular Highlander doesn’t have. I thought that’s what we were getting, but it wasn’t available and we ended up with the regular Highlander, which don’t get me wrong, I was very grateful for after driving the same car for so long.

However, as the months went on, the differences were very noticeable, especially with how much we travel and the lack of space. Without me knowing, Bobby had been doing research and working with the wonderful folks at Fox, and was able to find us a brand new Grand Highlander platinum. 

He had hoped it would arrive for my birthday, but it was a couple weeks late, which was totally worth it. He’s usually really bad at surprising me (my 40th birthday party a couple weeks ago was supposed to be a surprise, but I found out.) so I was truly in shock and speechless when I came home and this new car, which we named Ruby, was in the garage!

@bobbymontg may not be the most romantic guy, but he shows his love in ways that he knows I appreciate. Best birthday gift ever! 🩷

While grabbing a few things at Walgreens, I picked up a Kohl’s gift card and turned it into the cutest teacher gift — a mason jar wrapped in ribbon, full of pencils with a tag that says “This year is going to be on point.” 🎯 

It’s simple, thoughtful, and super practical — because who doesn’t love a gift they can actually use? 

Walgreens makes it so easy to grab @incommpayments gift cards for everyone on your back-to-school list — from teachers to even yourself (because let’s be real, moms need a win too 😉).
