Wordless Wednesday: Passed Out

When I was getting my bridal portraits done,
I almost passed out.
I don't know if it's because it was hot or because my knees were buckled or because I forgot to eat lunch.  It's very likely that my dress was just a little tight around my rib-cage.
I can't even imagine trying to fit into it now.  I'd probably swoon out as soon as it was zipped up.

I started to sway and pale and they ran me over to these steps.  My mom and grandma cooled me down while my dad ran to the CVS and got me water and a Peppermint Pattie (which you can see in my grandma's hand - she fed it to me because they were terrified of getting chocolate on my dress... evidently I'm a messy eater?!).

I'm just glad we got pictures of it.
It's almost my favorite one from that whole day.

I am glad, however, that I changed those brown shoes for the rest of the shoot.  
When they peeked out, it reminded us to change into my hot pink ones:

  1. So funny! The same thing happened to me except I was trying on my dress for the first time. I felt like I was in a movie... I was yelling "get it off of me!" because I felt like I couldn't breathe or that I was going to throw up. I realized my knees had been buckled. Everyone was racing in the dressing room with cold rags. Never forget that one... Ha!

  2. Such great pictures~ I love those pink shoes! You look beautiful, aside from the wooziness... I won't even begin to think how my wedding dress would fit- I'm sure it wouldn't come close!

  20. I did the same thing in my wedding dress about 20 minutes before I walked down the aisle. They made me gulp sweet tea and prop my feet up. We have pics of it, too.

  21. Hi there! Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier today & leaving your sweet comment :) This post excites me! I am going Saturday for my first appointment to try on wedding dresses. I'm stoked! I have this one gown that I have had my eye on for a few months now, and I can not wait to slip into it finally. It's great that you caught this moment on camera. Great memories! Have a great week.

  24. Love the shoes girl! I almost passed out during a fitting for my dress. I hadn't eaten all day - totally forgot b/c my to-do list was 3 miles long. It all caught up with me at the wrong moment! Glad you lived to tell the tale!
