It is not the end of the world if you can’t have a lavish wedding. So positive was Loida Rennish that when she did not get to experience her dream wedding the first time around, she renewed her vows ten years later and threw a second one in Heathrow, Florida… and this time she got to wear her dream wedding dress!
She and husband renewed their wedding vows after a decade of being married together. 10 years ago, Loida married her sweetheart and did not quite care about the fact they were not from well to do families. Their parents supported the relationship all the way and paid most of the wedding expenses. Even though the wedding was small and modest, Loida was appreciative of what their parents had done for them. There was a small wedding cake, simple wedding favors and only the closest family members and friends attended the wedding. To add, Loida’s wedding dress was a plain white off shoulder affair. She admitted that it was nothing fancy and definitely not the dress she had always dreamed about. Left with little choice, she went along with it in the end.
This year, Loida and her husband decided it was time to renew their vows! Ten wonderful years had passed and they were blessed with a daughter who is 8 years old. They did not think it was wise to wait until it was their 25th wedding anniversary, and thought this year was the perfect time to do it because by then, their daughter would be well into a marrying age herself, and they’d be so busy preparing for her wedding that they might forget about their own!
Loida shared with us that the entire event went on ever so smoothly! The “second wedding” was a total success. She finally got to wear her dream wedding dress! Her husband looked so very handsome in his suit and blushingly Loida added that she was reminded of how he looked like when they got married 10 years ago. Plus, Loida’s daughter has her very own bridesmaid attire and she looked resplendent in her fairy princess-like dress!
Almost all of their friends and family came to the event and everyone commented how beautiful Loida’s dress was, and how angel-like the bridesmaids were. At the end of the day, she looked back at her dream wedding and was glad they waited as long as they had to do this. Everything was perfect and Loida does not mind doing it all over again! This were her parting words:
“The important thing to remember is that even though you do not have the means to throw a lavish wedding at first, you may have a chance later on to do so and when that time comes, by all means go all out and get the wedding dress you know you deserve! I’d wanted the perfect dress that projected a statement about who I am and I am glad it did.”
“The dress is by : Forever Yours Style 42211. It’s a size 1-2 and I’m 5′2 *just to give an idea for those interested in buying*
