Thinking White and Sparkly: I said “YES!” to the dress
Wedding planning continues to be both exciting, confusing, and on occasions overwhelming. Overall, I am LOVING it! I still have absolutely no idea what I’m doing but I’m hoping it will all come together in the end. I’ll be sure to let you know how that works out. 
Last week I went with my sweet friends Jenn, Julie, and Ruth to try on wedding dresses! With the wedding only 6 months away I knew I needed to start looking right away. I had a few ideas but there was one specific dress I loved! I called ahead to make sure they had the dress and was so excited to see it! When we got there I had a ball trying on all kinds of dresses- poofy dresses, sparkly dresses, lace dresses, fancy, plain, fashion forward– there were so many. I had such a great time trying them on and walking around like a princess. Finally, the consultant pulled the dress I saw in a magazine. When I put it on I couldn’t believe it. I loved it! It was perfect. It’s definitely my fairy tale dress. When Kelly, the sweet girl who helped me, set me up with my veil, headpiece, and shoes I couldn’t have been happier. I loved standing there looking in the mirror thinking this is what I’ll wear the day I say, “I do.”
In wedding planning this has definitely been the best part so far! I loved imagining walking down the aisle to my sweetheart in the most beautiful gown.
I went back and bought the dress today. I said, “YES! to the dress!” I am more than thrilled with what I picked out. It’s a dream dress! I love it and I can’t wait for June 18 so I can wear it all day! In the mean time I can’t promise I won’t try it on at least once a week- you know, just to practice…
