My daughter got married at Lake Chelan

Daughter Claire, 28, and Matt, 33, were married at Lake Chelan in September 2018.

After three years together, they bought a house in Lake Stevens in March 2017.

The wedding was touching, simple and beautiful. Sixty-four guests. Matt made a white, wooden rack to hold gift succulent plants for guests. The newlyweds asked Terry, Claire's dad, and I to witness their wedding certificate.

Terry, made the "Matt and Claire" sign and decorated the entire area. He's an artist. I made my burgundy dress and a black, satin bow tie for Claire's dog.

Lookalikes Claire and her niece Nina, 16 (blue dress).

Nina brought a gift bag with a tag, "Matt and Claire." Neatly folded inside were party clothes Claire had loaned to Nina.

"These are my clothes!" Claire exclaimed and laughed.

Here's Cocoa in his satin bow tie. I made it large for comic effect.

Half husky and half golden retriever, Cocoa is a lovable, goofy dog.

Looks like a happy day was had by all. Congrats to the newlyweds. Love your dress.

@kltuckmn

Thank you! I made the dress for $18 (the fabric was 40% off) and tailored it to fit me. Aimed for simple elegance with my mother's pearls.

Retail mother-of-the-bride dresses cost $500 and up.

@LiterateHiker Ah, so pretty. You’re a lucky mama and, I imagine, a good one. Also, I recognize the story of Nina’s gift from a separate post 🙂
