6 Months before the wedding.. Still no dress. I know.. I know.. Timeline says I'm late or approaching that late mark. I have tried on, No lie - 25+ dresses...Yes.. 25+. I must have driven some of the ladies at the boutiques crazy, including a couple of my bridesmaids, who have come along for comments.
On one of my return trips to try on the dress I thought I wanted, I spotted another one that really caught my eye. Once I tried it on, I fell in love with it. Yup.. This is the one. Bridesmaids agreed, mom agreed. But now I"m faced with the, I know I love this dress, but what if there is another one out that's better question. (Same theory for a man. I know I love Oba, but what if there is someone else out there that's better.. *tee hee hee*.. Just had to throw that in there) - I'm kidding - now don't start reading into it..
The dress selections are just overwhelming. The dresses all look fabulous in a magazine, then when you try it on, you're like, what is this? The magazine has bamboozled me into thinking I could look good in the dress.. So I say to myself, OK, I have been going to the gym, getting in wedding dress shape. Dropped one dress size and have one more to go. Now if I drop the 2 dress sizes, because anyone who has been married knows.. If you want to feel like a big fatso, put on a wedding gown. That is really a great way to feel real good about yourself *In my sarcastic tone*. These dresses run extremely small and make you feel oh so, I need to lose weight. Definitely not meant to be a self-confidence booster for the average woman.
Soooo, if I drop that extra dress size.. maybe, just maybe, the dress that looks amazing in the magazine, which looked like crap on me, could look good the 2nd time around. Or maybe, I was meant to have that dress that made my eyes glisten and put a cheesy smile on my face. The one that looked great on me, and could possibly look even better once I do drop that additional dress size.
The dress you pick is the one you will have to live with for the REST of your life in pictures. Its the one that you better love and be happy with for years to come because once those pictures are taken, it will be memorialized for EVER. It's a dress that should be true to you, look good on you, and also be that classic dress.
For now, I have about one more month before I make my final final decision and hope I don't find yet another one I could possibly love. In the meantime.. Happy Blogging..
Time is a ticking!!!!! I think you will "know" THEE dress when you see it. Either way, you will look beautiful!! I'm interested to know what other brides experienced and how they chose the "one".
ReplyDeleteWhen it's the dress you won't think about another another one being out there, just like getting your man :)
