This morning, mom and I went to yard sales and then went to Panera Bread to eat. While at Panera's, which just happens to be by David's Bridal, we decided to just go in and "window" shop.
Seeing as this is my first and only wedding; I didn't know you couldn't just walk in and try on dresses. You have to register and then you have to meet with a consultant, pick out 3 gowns and then try them on.
The trying them on part was very OVERWHELMING. I mean here I was in a standard size dressing room with 3 wedding gowns and myself in it. First one I tried on was a little big(always a good feeling) and was pretty but didn't talk to me. The second one I tried on fit just right(well a little big in the breast area) and definitely said, "Buy me, I'm the one". I went ahead and tried on the third one to make sure and then tried on the second one again.
The trying on of four dresses and then parading out in front of everyone and what felt like 50 floor length mirrors was a bit much. Of course, then they made you up with your headpiece and veils. By the time we left there, I was so relieved to have made it out alive.
Needless to say, I have my wedding dress picked out and in layaway. I absolutely love it and I love my mom for being by my side. She's the best!!!
