Bad dress shopping experience turned amazing today!!!

So we set our date only 3 weeks ago....our date is May 7, 2011.  I didn't realize it took so long to order a dress from a shop especially when I'm 5'11" and have to have length added to it! I thought at most it would take a couple months but not 4 1/2 so i fell in love with a Mori Lee dress and the due back date for me to order it was may 6th.....not only was it about $600 over my budget but I loved it and FI said he didn't care as long as I love it!  So after I kept looking everything I loved was $1000+ easy, and the earliest one would come in was April, 17th and that wasn't enough time.  I came home Friday upset after going through 5 different dress shops within an hour 1/2 distance and not finding a dress!  My mom called me today and asked me to lunch, so i packed up the two boys and met her, we were talking about the dress situation and she said have I tried Repeat Boutique, "no, I had never heard of it!" she said it's a second hand store that sells dresses and they carry wedding dresses....i didn't care if it had been worn before so i went to look thinking there's no way I would find something of good quality!  (just making my mom happy) So I start to go through them finding ok dress, but just not what I was looking for at all!  Until the last dress it had the pickups that I like,  I pull it out and it's an oleg cassini sweetheart full of sparkle just like i wanted! I grab it, try it on...fits perfectly without a bra, slip, or anything lol needs the length let out a little, but no problem.  I asked how much it was and she tells me it was just marked down about an hour before i got there so it's now $275 lol.  I said ok I'll take it! LOL yay!!!! no more dress stress!!!!
