So I decided last week (well before that, but made the announcement to my unsuspecting mother last week) that I had chosen the wrong wedding dress. After several long conversations ALL ending in "All I know is that I don't love that dress and I don't want it. You don't have to go with me to look again but I'm going" (wow that makes me sound like a spoiled brat). Preceded at some point by "You were right, Mom. I shouldn't have bought the dress that day. I should've listened to you." Any who, we went yesterday to try on dresses again.
David's Bridal is amazing, in my opinion. They have a ton of dresses and the people at the store by the Hulen Mall in Fort Worth are so hospitable. The best part (in my case) is that they allow exchanges for 90 days. Most wedding dress stores do not allow exchanges. Perfect for me.
I found a dress that has everything that I want. I'm not allowing myself to get excited about it so as to keep a level head and not make a decision via excitement fuel. It is entirely more me than any other dress I have tried on. It's gorgeous and I love it. But I'm not getting excited about it. :)
I go to New York first thing (and I mean first thing.. before the sun) Thursday morning!! Seth gets his West Point ring (I mean bling) on Friday. And I get to dress up in a beautiful yellow satin gown on Saturday for dinner. We may go into NYC on Friday (I've never been.. except when landing and taking off in an airplane) for dinner!! I get to stay until Monday around lunchtime!
I hope you all are having a great summer. It's almost over so soak it up!!
Pictures please! (of the yellow satin gown, not the wedding dress of course!)
ReplyDeleteAnd I am glad you've found the dress! All this wedding stuff can be so stressful... just remember, even if you were wearing tattered rags, at the end of the day, you will be married!
And that's when the real adventure starts!
I will post pictures of Ring Weekend next Monday/Tuesday. I go Tuesday to buy my dress!! :) I just may email you a picture of the wedding dress because I want to know what you think!
ReplyDeleteI love you baby and I can't wait to marry you. I'm so excited that you found THE ONE! That's awesome but I hope you know that no matter what you wear, all I care about is that we get to be together.
ReplyDeletei hope school is going well! you're almost done! i'm excited we are both going to Ireland!
