Oh...my...dress!

My dress is absolutely amazing. I mean, I hate to brag, but it's stunning. Absolutely stunning. I went to try on my dress on Saturday to have my first fitting. Me and my wonderful mother and besty Lorraine went to the bridal shop, Danielle's, where me and about 6 other brides were trying on dresses, and getting fitted. The bridal enthusiasm and tension was so thick you could cut it with a knife. I totally understand because picking your dress is uber important, and you want everything to be just right. I definitely felt the tension when I was wedding dress shopping. So, needless to say, I kind of re-lived all of that tension. It was refreshing to know that my dress was just in the back. As we went to the back of the store where the seamstress was, I saw my dress hanging in the back hallway. My heart melted. I said, "There it is!" I was so bloody excited, I just couldn't wait to put it on. They set us up in a room and I finally got to see the dress and be in the dress I ordered 12 long weeks ago. I have to say that the experience was very relieving. I felt at peace and very content with my decision about the dress. I felt that this dress was completely made for me and is exactly what I want. I just stood there and stared. I stared at myself, at the details of the dress, the fabric, the silhouette, everything. I probably looked extremely vain, but I just couldn't stop staring.

The dress looked better than I could have hoped for. 12 weeks ago, I tried on a white dress, but the dress I ordered is ivory...and it is spectacular. Seriously. Again, hate to brag, but holy cow, I looked good ;) The details were just perfect, the dress was just flawless...except it was a little big! WOOHOO!!!! I loved that the seamstress had to take the dress in, and not let it out! So, among my staring, the seamstress was pinning and tucking and fitting me for a jacket that I will wear over the dress. Oh, it was just fantastic. I am so excited for the finished product.

I am definitely going to knock Brad's socks off!

Brad was also in search of a suit that will knock my socks off this week! This was also quite the process. We went to a couple of stores and he tried on a few suits. Let me just say, my fiance looks fan-bloody-tastic in suits. I mean, WOW! I think I blushed a few times at his shear sexiness. Brad finally decided on a medium gray, pinstripe suit from Men's Wearhouse. Brad wanted his suit to stand out from the other men in the wedding party, and boy will he ever. There will be no doubt in my mind that everyone will know who the groom is on August 5th. I am so excited about his suit. I know he's going to make me cry on the wedding day, the only question remains, will I make him cry?

Stay tuned to find out!
