...so after 8 bridal shops and trying on over 70 dresses (i'm picky!) i finally found the dress...(i was by myself at the time) then mom, dad and my aunt came to baltimore to see the dress on me and they all teared up...however i didn't order the dress that day b/c it was over my budget...after searching a bit i found a shop in DE that carries that designer and i've spoken to them a few times and they have knocked the price down so that it is within my budget!!! i am soooo excited and i'm going to get measured and order it on thursday...they are opening the store (Irini's) just for me to work with my schedule...over the moon right now!!!!!!!!!!!
