After buying a dress I only "liked" just because it was a great price, I randomly came across a Maggie dress design online and fell in love. It was the Beth. When I started trying to find one, I discovered it had been discontinued. I called over 40 dress shops (including some as far away as Oklahoma!), I'd had no luck in finding one. I asked for help on the Attire board, and a girl sent me a link to a dress in Canada. After weeks of con, and I contacting the girl trying to get the shipping details worked out, it finally came today! It's more beautiful than I could have imagined and I'm soooo happy I took the plunge in buying it! It is the ONE for sure, and I can't wait to wear it on my wedding day! I haven't told many people that I've chosen a second dress, and even those who know I found a second dress know that I want it to be a surprise. BUT, I wanted to share it with someone, so I'm posting here! 
P.S. Sorry if the angle is a little wonky... my 5 year old took my pictures!
And P.P.S. - Please ignore the mess in the background! Student teaching, work, and 2 kids has left very little time for housecleaning! LOL
Bioliciousness Life and death, energy and peace. If I stop today it was still worth it. Even the terrible mistakes that I made and would have unmade if I could. The pains that have burned me and scarred my soul, it was worth it, for having been allowed to walk where I've walked, which was to hell on earth, heaven on earth, back again, into, under, far in between, through it, in it, and above. ~ gia maria carangi
