the dress

ok let's start with this wedding business! there were lots of miracles leading up to being engaged including a great deal on a beautiful ring but let's start with the dress.

When I started making the "I'M ENGAGED!!" calls I had friends offer their wedding dresses to me. I knew that I was going to have to make this wedding low budget but I didn't want to settle for any old dress. My amazing friend Sarah Mc insisted I at least go try on her duplicate dress at David's Bridal. I brought my lovely friend Jen and made sure she knew this wasn't going to be a tear fest. I told her this was not like the movies... i was not going to allow lots of gush and talks of magical white tulle. When we arrived in David's Bridal the 17 year old attendant was giddy with excitement... she made me pick out some nasty white 'lady of the night' shoes and had me look through the thousands of dresses for the perfect one. I told her i'd try on 3 but one of them had to be the exact one Sarah had in Cali. When I finally got to sarah's dress i walked out looked at jen and said "um yeah, this works" she replied calmly, "yep, that's the one." I think the attendant was in shock the rest of the day. who decides on a dress that quickly?! and who gets a wedding dress for free dollars!?! me.

here's the dress that fit perfectly! thank you sarah!!
