The Dress!
July: My mom, my aunt, and I went dress shopping on a whim today and I found my dress! Last night I was like, "Hey there are sales going on til Monday, want to go dress shopping?" and Mom said "Sure." She took off work and we ran around to 4 different stores. I really liked the very first dress I tried on, but at the last store I found the dress I just LOVE. It was the first I tried on at David's Bridal and after I tried on several more, I asked to put that one back on. With it back on and a veil, I just knew that was my dress. It's a lot more traditional than I expected, but its so pretty. And like my mom kept telling me, I'm only doing this once.
Since the dress shopping, my mom has really gotten into looking at wedding stuff with me. She even found me a seamstress to do my alterations. The lady is a friend of hers and will also be making my veil. I'm going to see if she can alter the dress to have a little deeper sweetheart neckline. And my awesome aunt is getting my crinoline for me for my birthday.
