Sooo My mother has given me her veil to wear on my wedding day. Let me give you a little history on this veil.
This veil was handmade by my great grandmother, whom I am named after. My great aunt handmade the tiny little embroidered flowers that my great grandmother sewed on all over the veil.
My mother wore this on the day she married my dad, and then her younger sister wore it on the day she married my uncle.
Is that not the most beautiful thing ever?!!! I was so excited when we had it shipped from El Salvador.
There’s just one thing of course … its too long.
It was designed for a dress that has no train, and is supposed to serve as one thus is super long.
My dress already has a small train, and it would be a shame to cover the back as it’s very pretty.
I spoke with my sister about cutting it, there would still be a second piece long enough for her if she wanted a long veil.
But I just don’t know, it’s a little heartbreaking to think about cutting it. But it’s more heartbreaking to think about not wearing it.
Opinions anyone?
