Recovering Our Couch!

Hubby informed me that he didn't like our couch that we had about a month ago. So being a good wife I found another one at a garage sale, sent him pictures and got the go ahead to replace it. Well about 3 weeks later he told me that he didn't like that one either but he found one that he really loved and wanted to bring it home...with my permission. 
 Well I couldn't say no because the couch we had was hurting his back and he needs to be able to relax when he's home. The problem is that the couch he wanted to bring home was old and didn't really match what I wanted for our new house. So I agreed to bring it home if he would let me recover it. So I went and got the couch and brought it home. We headed to the store to "just look" at fabric and they were having a HUGE sale and we were able to get all our supplies for 50% off. We couldn't pass up on that deal so we moved forward and bought everything we needed and planned to work on the couch Sunday after church.
We started with the back because that was the easiest. Then it was on to the arms. That was a little more difficult. We were determined to not sew anything! Being that I can't sew it wasn't really an option. We used Hubby's staple gun and compressor for the whole project.  
I LOVE how it turned out! I LOVE the fabric that we chose! I can't wait to see how it looks once we get our tiny house built and move this wonderful looking couch into it!  I know it will look great!
I also had some black fabric laying around and decided to use it to cover the used ottomans we bought. Leather is not a friend in the heat and the humidity so I was glad to have extra batting and fabric laying around. They actually look great next to the couch. Of course these won't be moving with us as we will be building our own storage/ottoman/dining stools for the tiny house. Gotta make every piece of furniture work for many things when you have limited space! 

What do you think? Do you think we did a good job?

WEDDING! Part 2: The Day Of

**Warning more Picture overload!** I couldn't help it! WEDDING DAY! (August 6, 2005) On our wedding day I was so excited! I got ready at my parents house and J. and the guys got ready at our house. It was so much fun to get our hair done at a long time friends  hair salon .  After that we headed over to my parents house to start getting ready.    Everyone was busy getting me ready and many people were up my dress trying to get my 'fluff' to stay up so I didn't have to hold my dress us when walking.  My dad was kicked out of the house until I was done. I wanted him to get the whole sh-a-bang when he walked in. This was interesting. I had to climb into the truck but was not allowed to step on the tailgate and I couldn't see my feet. It was so funny! It looks like we were going fast but we really weren't but that's how we got to the park.  THE CEREMONY! After all that hard work to make it so I ...
