The Dress



I got my dress! On Saturday, my friend, Casey, and I met my mom, my sister, Melisa and my niece, Ashley at a boutique in St. Cloud, which had come recommended by several people. We were in and out within an hour and I walked away (again) with an appreciation for the bridal consultants. The ones I have met really know their stuff and can envision what a bride would look good even if the bride herself isn't sure until she tries it on! I definitely experienced the sense of "knowing" when I tried on the right dress...it is beautiful!!! I could tell by the faces of everyone that was with me that they felt the same.

For some reason, buying the dress seems very symbolic, it makes it real, in a sense. Most of the things we have planned or paid for so far are intangible to us at this point, or are a deposit for future goods or services to come so to actually pay for a dress and take it home and have it hanging in my house makes it very real!

Just 3 months to go!
