May 2013 Weddings

Ordered the dress! Yay!

I'm starting my first year of graduate school, so I have to get a lot of major checks out of the way for our Vegas Speakeasy wedding before I start my coursework and teaching freshman English.  My mom just got back from the Philippines, so we have to get the ball rolling.  I wanted this White by Vera Wang dress, and it went on sale for $179!!!!!!!!!! but of course, no David's Bridal in town had it.  They asked if I wanted to book an appointment, and I hesitated but said yes.  I haven't gone out and tried any dresses yet, so might as well have some fun.  I tried on 10+ dresses, not expecting anything to give me "the moment," but I did.  In the dressing room, there are no mirrors so I couldn't really see it without everyone seeing it out of the room.  BUT, when I was helped into it and I looked down at it, I just knew it was the one.  I was almost afraid to look.

Mom, my aunt and my dad wanted this Oleg Cassini, and it is BEAUTIFUL and it felt like I was playing princess dress-up, but the moment I put my dress on, I could see what my wedding night, and the photos, and I could imagine looking at them when I'm 40, 50, 60... never thought I'd be so emotional about my dress :...)  Now, the question is... to sash or not to sash?  If I do choose one, it probably won't be a DB one and will instead be something more art deco, or something with feathers.  However, I have a lot of time to make that decision.
