Wedding Wednesday: The Dress.

Wedding Wednesday

Good morning! Sorry if I have been somewhat MIA lately..I've been in kind of a blogging funk. I've been reading everyone's blogs but have honestly been too lazy to comment. And too lazy to post. Don't leave me - promise I'll be back in full swing soon! :)
Last Friday, I took half a day of work off so I could go to two dress appointments. The first store we (Mom and sister) went to, I knew was probably out of my price range but they were having a store wide sample sale so I thought I would maybe get lucky. I did find a dress there that I liked (not obsessed with though) and then we were on to the next appointment.

I had a feeling I was going to find my dress at the next store.

 Earlier that week I gave the store a call asking if they had a specific dress in the store and they did! I got really excited because I loved everything about this dress....in pictures. Once I got to the store I got nervous because I was scared my hopes were going to be too high! I took about 10 dresses with me to the dressing room, making sure to save that dress for last.

 Finally, I put the dress on, clipped it in the places that needed clipping and walked out of the dressing room. My mom, my aunt and my best friend's eyes all lit up. I put on a veil and it made the moment even more real. The girl from the store who was helping me handed me a bouquet of flowers. Then there were tears..from everyone. I didn't want to take the dress off. This was it!

Unfortunately, I'm not going to post pictures of the dress or any other dresses I tried on. You'll just have to wait a year for that! BUT if you follow me on Pinterest, let's just say that the dress is pinned to my wedding board. :)
