I had to share with you laides. My dress has shipped and should arrive at my parent's house by Monday. 
I live a couple hours away from them so I won't get a chance to go try it on until next weekend, but I can't wait for my mom to pull it out of the box and take some pictures to send to me. It was a discontinued Priscilla of Boston dress that I LOVED, but obviously isn't being made anymore. My mom did a little investigative work and found a company that makes high-quailty reproductions for VERY reasonable prices. So, I took the $200 gamble and ordered the dress based on my current measurements. I've tried on dresses that are the same cut and style so I'm very confident that it's going to look great. I've book the hall and the church, but this is REALLY starting to make all of this feel real.
