Coat Closet

My parent's coat closet is stuffed full. I'm not really sure why since my mom is the kind of gal who grabs a coat on the way out, but leaves it in the car.

Anyway, this coat closet sits at the end of a fairly long hallway, long enough for my sister and I to pretend it was a church isle and "get married" after walking down it.

Usually after I married Tom Cruise (I was a strange child) and my sister married "Morlico" (my sister was a little stranger) we would go into the coat closet and pull down the photo albums off the top shelf. My mom's h.s. senior class trip, my dad when he was in college, our baby photos and the other usual milestones/yearly events were and still are all there.

The really BIG album from my parent's wedding was usually our inspiration for play. We looked through it all the time and of course planned our own nuptials over those pages. My sister and I are both married now and had our own beautiful weddings (which were planned much differently than we first thought), but I still love looking at my parents in 1981.

They're a happily married couple and those pages show, even if it's only a little bit, where it started. So, I think that wedding albums are a special sentiment for the bride and groom, as well as others who may find some inspiration in the story they share.

Here are some pages I have been working on from a wedding. I hope you like them and are inspired to go into your own coat closets.
