Yes, I caved and did them. I wasn't going to, but changed my mind so that I could have a little bit of fun with it. I was a nervous wreck about them, but the lady at the desk at the gardens pumped me up so much by telling me how gorgeous I was and how much she loved my dress. She told me I was the first girl she has seen in a proper gown. Apparently, she is not a fan of the strapless mermaid type dresses. I have previously shared iPhone photos of the dress sans steaming, make up and hair. Thought I would share these photos that do it justice and make me so happy about my choice.
