"Just Put Me in Anything!"

So, I won't lie. I was so nervous to go look at dresses. Not for any cold feet reason, but because I kept imaging 14 year old awkward me trying them on. Not sure why. But I thought I would look super awkward and really weird in these formal dresses, or just feel out of place.

Thank goodness, that wasn't the case! It was a great time, and it was a lot of fun hanging with the girls. We were late for the appointment, but in the end we didn't need that extra time anyway. The consultant kind of lost interest once she figured out we weren't actually buying anything, which was discouraging. We were being charming! Guess I need to be more of a Bridezilla.

But I did try on a lot of dresses, in a variety of styles, just to weed through what I really liked and really don't. I was pretty spot on in my initial thoughts on general idea, but I'm re-thinking my opinions on length. I did try on one dress that can only be described as Princess Diana-esque, just for the hell of it. When the woman asked me what I thought, I said, "Well, I don't see Prince Charles coming anytime soon, so I'd best take it off." There were like two or three dresses I totally loved, and if I could Dr. Frankenstein them together, I would have my dress. But sadly, David's Bridal doesn't allow you be play mad scientist with dresses, so I'm SOL. I'm glad I got to narrow it down, though, and figure out what works on me and what doesn't. With my oddly proportioned body, I'm never sure how things will look on me!

The girls, by the way, were amazing! Not only encouraging, but also awesome at pulling random dresses I never would have thought to put on. Having supportive people around is, far and away, the most wonderful and helpful thing ever, especially when it comes to something like this. It means a lot that the people in my life can be so supportive and encouraging! What can I say -- Ben and I are just ridiculously lucky!


What a great weekend! It was so much fun looking at wedding dresses yesterday, as well as hanging with my darling dog on Friday and getting to see Mikey Eff last night! These weekends go by way too fast for my liking!
