Dress Shopping

Saturday I went wedding dress shopping!! It was very quick and lots of fun. My mom, aunt (who is doing the planning/decorating), Kev's mom, and one of my best friends from high school went with me. Yes, I know... I took a small entourage. Oh well. 

The consultant asked if I'd been dreaming of this day since I was a little girl. I could honestly say that I have not. I remember a time in high school where I would look through bridal magazines and see what dress I wanted, but not since then. Instead I always dreamed about building a house!

I already knew what I wanted. Nothing sparkly and with ruffles on the bottom. I absolutely love all of Vera Wang's dresses!  I picked five dresses to try on. Three were my choice and the others were for my aunt. 

So I got the ones I wanted to try on and went to the dressing room. Lynn, the lady helping me, handed me a bra and a slip. The bra goes to my waist and the slip to my boobs and it's the kind I material that doesn't breathe.  Well I don't like feeling constrained and hot and that's what all that garb did. I got the dress on and walked out.  I started getting really hot and couldn't breathe. I was having a small panic attack. I couldn't wait to get that crap off of me. I told her I was fine without a bra. I didn't need anything to lift me up or fill in the dress. The slip was vetoed too. Things went smoothly after that. The third dress was the one. It's absolutely perfect and they even had it in my size, so I could take it home that day. Of course it's Vera Wang!!
