The five Polish stars on the train were among the most time-consuming designs, each of which took about 80 hours to complete.

Many of the lace designs are tributes to the important people in Jennings life — flower patterns chosen by her in-laws, an elephant for her daughter Bridgette, a tulip for her daughter Gabby and a martini glass to represent the online game that brought her and her husband together.
“It became a bit of a game at the reception for everyone to find ‘their’ piece,” the bride told ABC News.
“I spent most of the night before the wedding working on the dress, taking a little nap of an hour or two around 4 a.m. to recharge,” she told HuffPost.
“I think everyone else was very anxious as my bridesmaids kept asking me how I could be so calm. But for me crocheting is so relaxing that I just had to smile and keep going, knowing that the dress would tell me when it was ready.”
When they finally laid the lace bodice over the under-dress, the bride said she was relieved and totally in love with her creation.
“It was so light and flowed into the skirt just as I had hoped,” she said. “I was very relieved when at the reception a friend came up to me and said that as soon as I walked into the church, everyone just smiled because the dress was ‘me.'”
Now, this is a dress made from, and for, love.
