It was a good day


Yesterday may have been one of the more exciting and happy days I have had in a while. (Except for the day Brad proposed. Nothing can beat that excitement.)

On Saturday, I went dress shopping with my family, my mom, grandma, future mom in-law, two future sisters in-law, and future niece. It was really fun and a bit overwhelming. Finding a dress is a lot of hard work. I was exhausted by the end of the day. I went to a total of three bridal stores. I know this may seem like a small number, but as mentioned before, I get very overwhelmed really easily. Feel free to ask Brad about this. I was stressing about our wedding before we were even engaged. It's a problem. I know. But I tried on a lot of dresses. We went to Danielle's Bridal, David's Bridal, and Gateway Bridal and Prom. I would recommend Danielle's and Gateway Bridal and Prom to anyone. Their service is fantastic and their dresses are the most beautiful. David's Bridal was described by my future mother in-law as "the grocery store of wedding dresses", and it's true. There are so many dresses in that store and WAY too many brides looking for their dress. Now, I am usually not one to judge, but there were some girls there trying on some UGLY dresses. And some of those ugly dresses managed to slip into my pile of dresses I tried on. Seriously, one dress made me look like I had a baby bump I was trying to hide. Hideous. Absolutely hideous. I guess it's the process you have to go through to figure out what dress you want. After trying on all of the dresses and having a million pictures taken of me in those dresses, I had all day Sunday to think about it. To be honest, the hardest decision was choosing what "look" I am going for. But once I decided on the look and my elimination criteria, it was a little easier to narrow down my dress options. So yesterday we went back to Danielle's Bridal and I tried on the dress I had in mind plus some other ones. The other ones didn't compare. I feel absolutely amazing in the dress that I chose. I feel really beautiful, elegant, sexy, skinny, and gorgeous in my dress. It makes me feel like I'm floating. Take my word for it, it's beautiful. My mom and one of my best friends Lorraine were there to see me pick out my dress. It was awesome. I can't believe I have found the dress that I am going to be married in! AHHH!!!! So exciting! The vision of our wedding is finally coming together for me and I cannot wait for Brad to see me in it!
