Went to bridal store with the moms and maid of honour to try dresses on.
I tried on the original dress that I like back in September to see what the mom's though of it.
I continued to try on 2 other dresses to make sure that I was absolutely sure about the dress. Then found another one that I loved and felt a lot better, and comfortable in.
I decided to sleep on it.
November 16, 2010
I SAID YES TO THE DRESS!!
Went back to the bridal shop to try the dress on again and to get measured for the dress.
Here's the funny thing; when we went into the second bridal store, the choice of my dress was not in the computer. I explained the dress style to the sales rep, and as we walked through the isles, the sales rep was ahead of me when Deanna noticed it on the manicane, and the sales rep had the same dress in her hand.
It must be fate!
Got measured and purchased the dress and it'll be ready in 15 weeks.
The greatest part is that I want the corset back on the dress, and it can be made.
Deanna also chose her dress and got measured up for the purchase.
Her dress will take 6-8 weeks
