June 2013 Weddings

Super excited! Now my dress AND my veil are on the way!

I have had one of those days where I'm just so excited about all the planning.  I feel like a little girl sometimes.  Coming from someone who never really thought about her wedding until now, that's a big deal!  A few weeks ago I bought my dress at David's on a bit of a whim.  I have struggled with some serious body image issues for years and I found a dress that made me feel beautiful.  After feeling so indifferent about most of them and nervous about looking okay, when I put this one on, I knew it was the one.  I'm sure there are others that could make me feel that way, but this one felt special and it was on sale, so I went for it.

The fitting assistant put a beautiful veil on me, but it was expensive.  I was a little bummed because I'm on a pretty tight budget and I had already spent a little more on my dress, so I decided not to buy it with the gown.  Last night, I was browsing eBay, and I found the veil!  It didn't have a single bid on it yet, and it was expiring that night!  I waited up and put in a bid, and low and behold, I won!  I'm so excited.  It was HALF PRICE with FREE SHIPPING!

I am really trying to enjoy planning with my FI and while staying in budget will be a challenge, I'm ready!  Hope everyone is having a great day, and thanks for letting me share my excitement!

  • That's awesome that you were able to find the veil you loved at a great price!!

    Also, I'm jealous that you live in Maine. It's gorgeous there. Plus, you guys have wild blueberries. And your grocery stores carry those weird bright pink hot dogs. So, yeah, Maine is awesome.
  • Thanks for sharing the happiness with me!  Now to wait for it to arrive in the mail :)

    I love Maine. It is truly a beautiful state. I love blueberries, but the red dogs creep me out!  I'm pretty sure they are banned in some states...
    It is super pretty here.  Living by the ocean just makes live more enjoyable!
    I hope you can visit and enjoy, as I really do think we have it lucky here. 
  • Yay for you, modernriot!!! You got a dress and veil you love AND stayed in budget!! Awesome! I bet you are walking on clouds tonight. :)

    Speaking of Maine, I want to see it! When people are asked where they'd like to go on vacation, so often warm, sandy beach areas are chosen. That's not for me. I've have always wanted to see Maine!

    Julie, you should do it!  I love living in Maine, and there are so many places to explore. Put it on your list.  It's totally worth it :)
  • Congrats on getting your veil so cheap! That's awesome. They're so expensive I couldn't believe how much they were for a thin piece of fabric, a hair comb and maybe a little detail on them. 

    Also I agree with everyone and love Maine. FI and I were just in Ogunquit and York for the day Wednesday. It's gorgeous there.

  • Congrats on getting your dress and your veil! And I also love Maine - I live about half an hour north of Boston, so FI and I visit Southern Maine at least once a year. It is really pretty there!

  • I never would've thought about looking for it on Ebay!! that's a great tip, thank you Wink

    congratulations on getting it half priced and staying within budget!! yay!!

    I'm like you in the sense that I never thought about my wedding til the proposal happened and we started planning, I'm starting to turn around and get more 'girly' LOL

    never been to Maine, but I do love the outdoors and would LOVE to come see it someday Smile
  • Sorry this post is so late, but I've been in on vacation since Saturday so I couldn't do it on my phone.  I was actually just on vacation in Maine!!!  We went to Acadia National Park.  It's sooooo beautiful there.  My fiance and I had a serious conversation about moving to Maine during our 10 hour ride home today haha!  If I lived there, I would be climbing mountains nonstop!  Where in Maine do you live?
