Flying with a Wedding Dress


A couple days ago, I flew from NYC to San Francisco to our new west coast home to join Jonathan who had just started his new job there. He grew up in New York and I had been there for 10 years, so leaving was sad but I am happy to be near family in California again. Plus being in Northern California for the last month of wedding planning sure will make things easier!

The movers had already come to our lovely little Brooklyn apartment where we lived together for 2 years- all our belongings were being shipped cross country. I just kept what I could get on a plane, including valuables I didn't want shipped.  I checked 2 overweight suitcases (one containing our ketubah) but then I had to carry on my iMac and my wedding dress. And then of course I had my purse.  This makes 3 carry-ons...one too many.  But I had a back-up plan: if they told me I could only have 2 carry-ons, I would just put the wedding dress on. Luckily, I didn't end up like her:
I am happy to report that the wedding dress and I made it safely to California. Less than 1 month till the big day!!
