So today was by far one of the best days ever. I had found "The Dress" a few weeks ago but was waiting to purchase it until it had the final approval of my best friend and a few important family members. Today, they saw it and instantly fell in love with it as much as I have!
And as a complete shock, my grandma and my aunt bought the dress for me! I'm not ashamed to admit that I started bawling like a baby. FI and I are budgeting like crazy to pay for this thing by ourselves so this was unexpected and just amazing.
