Runaway Brides

This morning was amazing! Kindal and I ran the Color Me Rad race in our wedding dresses to raise money for Special Olympics (donations still welcome!!):

I’m happy to report that we raised $705 for the cause!! It was a cold (for South Carolina) morning…but we braved the temperatures (thank you Kindal/Dan for all of the pictures):

It was a great, fun 5K:

I held my dress the majority of the run:

In case you wanted to know what a color bomb looks like:

Thank you again to everyone who donated! And a HUGE thank you to Kindal for letting me be a part of this effort.

Now, I’m getting ready for a little dinner party at our house (yikes!!). What are you up to?

oh you are amazing to do this! I love it! Looks like it was a lot of fun! My husband and I were just talking last night how wedding dresses are such a funny thing- we keep moving mine around w/ us, as it sits in a box...but I feel like I can't just get rid of it. I hope I find a good "2nd use" for it!

This looks like so much fun! I think I'd be a bit sad to color my dress... but why not?? Not like I'm ever going to wear it again!
