A Toad Wedding

My two toads, Mr. Ropuha and Tiana, were engaged on Valentine's Day, and their wedding day was fast approaching.

the Wedding Dress

First order of business was a wedding dress. So Tiana and her friend, who was a seamstress, had to choose some bridal fabrics ...
"I just want something simple and elegant..."

A week later, Tiana went for a fitting. Her friend was just making the finishing touches to the wedding dress, as she arrived...

Tiana tried on the dress, and hopped up in front of the mirror to have a look....

"It's gorgeous, and fits perfectly!"

Wedding Suits

The little mouse was not only a talented seamstress, but she was also an excellent tailor, and had been working hard on Mr. Ropuha and his friend's formal wedding wear. Their pants are ready to try on....

"I'm not used to wearing pants. I hope they don't make my butt look too big."

Tiana thought her fiancé's pants were perfect....

"Doesn't he look great?"

But Miss Mousy had no time to waste, as there was still a lot to get done....

A Final Fitting

A week later, everyone went back in for their final fitting....

Decorating the Venue

It was time for Tiana's three little mouse friends to decorate the archway where the ceremony would be held.
They were busy putting up swags of greenery with roses, and ribbons....

But Tiana was very particular, and wanted everything 'just so'....

The mice tried to keep her happy, but they wished she would just go away.
They knew what they were doing, and that everything would be just perfect.

One Last Fitting

The day was almost there, and it was time to check the final fitting of the bride's and her bridesmaids' dresses. Tiana's seamstress, who was also going to be in her wedding party, helped adjust her veil to make sure everything was perfect....

Then the three little mice got into their bridesmaids dresses...

"Okay, everything looks perfect"

Getting Dressed

The wedding day finally arrived, so Tiana and her attendants gathered at the seamstress' shop to get dressed.

In addition to her three little mouse friends, Tiana had also asked her two elf friends, Tillie and Cinnamon, to be part of her bridal party. Which turned out to have been a great idea, since you never know when someone really tall can come in handy....

"You look beautiful!!"

And they were all ready....

the Procession Begins

The bride and her attendants arrived at the crowded venue. All the girls who'd been invited,
were dressed up in their finest party dresses, but the boys had come just as they were.

Mr. Ropuha and his groomsmen were standing at the front, waiting for the bride to arrive.
Tillie and Cinnamon were the first to walk up the aisle, followed by the three little mice....

The guests all turned to look....

Some got up on their seats so they could get a better look at the tiny little bridesmaids....

Finally, it was Tiana's turn to make her entrance...

the Service Begins

Mr. Ropuha and Tiana had asked their friend, Smuzhka Raccoon, to officiate at their wedding.

"Dearly beloved....We are gathered here to unite these two in amphibious matrimony..."
