Even with all the stress on either choosing CLM, Thatched Cottage, a small wedding at BBG, I stil made time and found THE DRESS. I went to RK Bridal after work after my intuition told me to go there again. The week before I was trying on a couple of Maggie dresses and wanted to refresh my memory. I picked out those dresses and picked 5 more to bring the dressing room. I picked a Casablanca dress, another Maggie dress, 2 DaVinci dresses, and a Jacquelin dress. The Jacquelin dress was the last I picked out and did it out of random.
So I started with the DaVinci dresses. One was way too simple and just wanted to get it off me. The next one was nice but way too big for me. If I was having a wedding for 500 and wanted to go the Cinderella route, then maybe I would have considered it. I tried one of the Maggie dresses (the Jessica dress, I think) and it was nice and flattering but a little over my budget. Then I put on the Jacquelin dress. All I gotta say is WOW! I was blown away when I saw myself in the mirror. It was everything I wanted. Simple, yet romantic. I really felt like I was born to wear that dress. So when I put on the last 3 dresses, it was very clear the Jackie dress was the one. Even when I was wearing the Grace dress for a good 15 minutes and walk around with it, I knew as beautiful that dress is (and flattering), it wasn't THE DRESS.
Thinking it might be too late to order, I put the deposit today. I am so happy I really feel like crying. I've been waiting for this moment to finally get the dress and it has happened. Now, I have to wait until December when the dress will be there so I can try it on. YAY I GOT MY DRESS.
