Say Yes to the Dress
I have to admit, I was kind of scared to go wedding dress shopping. It wasn’t that I wasn’t excited about going dress shopping but I was kind of scared to go because I wasn’t sure how all that white was going to look on me. I don’t wear a lot of white usually. Also, you know that song from Sir Mix-a-lot? Yeah, you know the one that I’m talking about (pretty sure that’s the only song that he’s ever had a hit with). Whelp, that’s kind of my body in a nutshell. I’ve got a lot of proverbial “back.” Thus, I thought that this might be a problem with the whole wedding dress thing.
It wasn’t and I found a really, really perfect dress that I’m absolutely in love with. It was the second dress that I tried on. You know how they always say that when you put on the one, you just know? I kind of thought people were joking about that. Turns out, that at least in my case, they really weren’t. I would go into more detail about the dress but the Architect reads my blog and I don’t want to ruin the surprise.
I’m really stunned how easy it was to find a dress. My sisters, aunt, and mom came with me and we were even able to look at a few bridesmaid dresses. We found some prospects but I still want to think about them for a little bit.

I remember going wedding dress shopping with my best friend (I was the Maid of Honor) and we did try on a lot of dresses. In the end, she went to Vietnam and bought a dress there for $300
The dresses here in the states are overpriced and you only get to wear it one time!
I think I’m gonna have a summer wedding and wear some white summer dress (with flip flops) that I could wear it for years after my wedding day
I remember that moment. The dress wasn’t what I was looking for at all, but the second I looked in the mirror I knew it was the one. And it was cheap, too, even by 1980 standards.
That is awesome! I love the feeling when you find *the* dress. Makes you feel beautiful every time you put it on!
@strawberries_and_honey - I wanted to wear a sundress to my wedding. I searched for literally 2 days and found nothing.
I ended up with a wedding dress that was on clearance for $100. You never know what will happen!
That’s terrific! So happy that you found the perfect dress for you.
Ooooo. Do a protected post with pictures! I would love to see your dress!
Block the Architect from your blog and share a picture with us! =D

I’m glad you found the perfect dress!
Wow, that was quick! Can’t wait to see a picture of it.

Wonderful and I am so happy for you.
I’m so glad you found one you love and can’t wait to “see” you in it!
Glad you found “the dress”. I found my dress the first day I went shopping. I think it was the third one I tried on.
