Yep. its true! lol
My original dress was purchased last year about 4 weeks after he proposed, and let me just say that sometimes when you know its not the one, then you know its not the one.
I have spent the last 4 months since we reset our date trying to love that dress. I told myself it was just because I'm in love with trying on dresses (which, ok I admit maybe a little lol) but no matter what I did, no matter who saw the pictures of it and told me it looked gorgeous on me, I couldn't shake it. ( I even had a bridesmaid tell me it wasn't the type of dress she had pictured me in)
Initially when i purchased it, I did so because my DIL had a credit at that bridal salon. I had originally wanted something with lace, but lets face it, lace is expensive and I was working with a budget. The only lace dress I tried on there that night was horribly heavy and not figure flattering on me because of the cut. The owner of the salon had even told me she didn't have much for lace in my price range.
With that said, I bought a beautiful dress, but it wasn't what I had envisioned at all (it was dropped waist chiffon with ruffles), plus at the time we were planning a spetember wedding for last year.
Fast forward to last week, after running through all of this in my head (and thinking I must be crazy, i'm going to end up looking for a dress that doesn't exist except in kleinfelds where it will resides until someone else buys it because I can never afford it
I found a salon not too far from here that has lots of beautiful designer dresses off the rack, so i went and this is what I got...a beautiful sparkly lace San Patrick ball gown. Ladies....I got that feeling. Like that feeling that I get when FI is around lol thats the best I can describe it. I am so thankful I listened to that little inner voice, and thanks for reading all of this, I know its really long, but I just had to share
