horseshoes

my grandpa was a major cowboy -having won belt buckles in every category at the rodeo- and i wanted to find a way to honor him at my wedding since he has passed on. horseshoes stair-stepped up the inside of my gown with the names and dates of my maternal side who had been married in the same temple before me. my grandpa's brother, (my great uncle) has the most amazing diamond horseshoe wedding ring. i gave my version of it to my mother and sisters on my wedding day. these two things are a couple of my favorite things about my wedding.
