Where did you find it!!! I could not find it any place in the city and no salon agreed to order it for me until I tried VA.

Of course, now that I got a salon in VA to order it for $50 plus $20 in shipping for delivery tomorrow, a salon in LI agreed to order it for $20. LOL

Oh well, my momand sister will get a kick out of helping me pick a dress in VA tomorrow.

Thanks!!! I'm pretty sure I'll buy this one if it looks anywhere near as nice on me as the model.

It's fate!!!!! - PICS of the Bonny dress

Posted by kdrainey

Ok.......it must be fate!!!! The bridal salon in VA where I finally get to try on the Bonny dress I love is on Bonney Road.

Hi all,

We went to VA this weekend so FI could ask my parents to marry me. We were there all weekend but FI did not ask my dad until about 7:30 a.m. on Sunday. My dad had threatened to kill FI all weekend long and at every chance he got my dad reminded FI about all the guns in the house. LOL He does have a few of them too.

So, FI woke up at like 4 a.m. on Sunday and went down to talk to my dad at like 7:30 a.m. once he got up the courage to ask him. FI said they talked for about 2 1/2 hours and the last few minutes was when FI asked my dad if he could marry me. My dad got up right when FI said he had to ask him a very important question. My dad was in the kitchen with FI and looked around a lot. FI asked if he was looking for his gun. LOL LOL My dad is a former hunter so he keeps gun in the house and I even found one in a closet when I went to get an extra blanket.

From what I gather, it all went very well. Later when we got to breakfast (Waffle House) my dad saw a friend of his and introduced FI as his 'future son-in-law'!!!! He had been introducing him as Mr. 'T' all weekend - but I think he just did that to mess with FI. LOL

FI also asked my mom for her blessing and she said yes too. That was on Friday night though. He met my maternal grandmother and some of my aunts and uncles too. We hung out with my sister for a bit and her children too.

All in all it was a great weekend. I even got to meet a two of FI's nephews who also live in VA and his sister-in-law and one niece who were in town for one nephew's birthday.

I finally got to try on the Bonny dress I had been looking at for ages.

These are the pics - with close ups of the lavender beading in a few pics
Me in the Bonny Dress - in ivory though not white

It's ivory although I'd get white. Also, my sister failed to snap one part at the top right side in the back. There seems to be a gap but that is just where she forgot to snap that side.

Re: It's fate!!!!!

You looked so beautiful in that dress! I'm glad to hear that everything worked out with your dad and FH! Your dad sounds really funny. I definitely would've been nervous if I were your FH
