GROOM: Jeff wore a black tux, black cummerbund and bow tie... single white rose boutonniere with two stephanotis, baby's breath and leather leaf.
BRIDE: Donna's gown was white satin with a low sweetheart neckline, fitted bodice with long "illusion" sleeves, all sequined and pearled with lace inset. Drop-front waist, low v-neck back with a large bow at the waist, cascading down into a cathedral length train (about 8' long) with inset pearled/sequined lace cut-outs throughout. The hem was scalloped lace with an inverted "v" of pearled/sequined lace in the front.... her bouquet had 12 white roses, 6 white carnations, 6 stems of stephanotis, and it cascaded down with baby's breath and ivy.
Something OLD: Donna's mother gave Jeff her grandma Turner's white hanky in case Donna cried at the altar
Something NEW: Donna's dress, her necklace (pearls with a W of gold hanging in the front with a pearl drop in the center... and matching earrings)
Something BORROWED: Donna's shoes didn't feel at all comfortable for some reason, and so, luckily, Sue had brought a pair of white flats and she wore those! (nobody even SAW her feet anyway!!)
Something BLUE: Wide light blue ribbon through lacy white garter which also had a satin rose and pearls
