Gown – Ashley Jordan, bought at RK Bridal—A
Some of the veterans may remember my issue with another bridal store. I found the dress I wanted at a store that cut out the tags. The dress was $2,500, which was way more than I wanted to spend. I tried to find it online but couldn’t find the dress at all so I gave up. Decided to try one last ditch effort to find this dress so I typed 'lace bodice a-line skirt' into google. Lo and behold, it was the 3rd return. Got the info and went to RK Bridal to try it on ... and it was $650.00!!!!!! This is the exact same dress I tried on at that bridal shop. So, right away RK was very good to me . The staff was great – courteous and professional. I did have to wait at all of my fittings and had a little trouble communicating with the seamstress due to language barriers but all in all my dress came out perfectly. I would HIGHLY recommend them!

You looked breathtaking! I am so sorry about your pics- that is just awful. The ones you do have are great though- they are beautiful but I think mostly since you your FH and YOUR HALL no matter what they say, are spectacular looking.

You look absolutely beautiful, and the pictures you posted look good. I think Milleridge is beautiful, though of course, I'm biased.

I'm working with Bob also as my florist, and he has done some things for me over the phone as well. I'm glad to hear you were happy with your flowers.

Thanks also, I believe you recommended Holiday Inn Plainview at some point when I was looking at hotels. It is the nicest most affordable one in the area that I saw, and so far, I only have good things to say about them also.

FH and I made the same jokes about staying there on our wedding night, but we will probably mainly sleep that night! We'll splurge on our honeymoon, but we didn't think we needed to that night.

Glad to hear your day went so well.

Eileen,

you made a stunning bride... and actually caused my jaw to drop at the close up picture of you and your hubby by the window.

i am forever grateful to you about your advice regarding sew deb. your veil looked gorgeous on you, and i'm excited to wear mine as well as you have worn yours.

hope you're somewhat comforted by my statement that the pictures you do have are stunning.

best wishes! daphne
