Wedding Wednesday {Saying YES to the DRESS}

If you read my blog a few days ago, you may have seen that I found MY DRESS for our wedding in August.

I had the honor of going with my momma the first three times I tried dresses on, and since my aunts were in town last weekend we decided to have them  come along and join us when we looked again. It was blast having them there with me {only missing one!} and was so glad they were there for such a special day!

 The first appointment I had on Saturday was at 10:15 AM at a place called Mia's.

I knew we could be in for some trouble when the girl didn't even help me get into the wedding gowns. Although I must say in the end it was a blessing that she hated her job that day and didn't help us at all. This was because since she didn't help me get into those dresses, my mom helped me instead. It was a really special moment to me and I am thankful we got to share that with each other.

However, their dresses were almost the same as the service. Slim pickings.

Needless to say we left that appointment and headed to my next appointment at 1:00 PM. This was after we had eaten lunch, picked up my other aunt, and somehow the GPS took up on a loopty loop.

Right when I walked in the door I had a good feeling. First of all, it was soo busy.

Bride to be's all around. I always know business is a good sign they have some good stuff to offer! 

Second off, it was extremely nice and everyone seemed excited and happy. {unlike our previous luck} Then a girl took us all back to our own private room that just so happened to be GINORMOUS and was absolutely gorgeous. The atmosphere was a 180. The gowns were a 180.

As we walked back to our room I caught a glimpse of dresses hanging on the wall and I just knew, knew knew knew that I would have some luck there. The girl working with us was extremely helping in getting all of the details I wanted in the dress, what type of wedding I was having, what type of personality I had, and so on. She wanted to make sure I got the perfect dress not only for my big day,  but most importantly that fit ME and my personality.

She brought me out 5 dress. 3 dresses that fit every detail I had given her I wanted in a dress.

They were gorgeous. I would have taken them all. 1 dress she called a "wild card".  And 1 she just wanted me to try on to see what I thought of it and just to say "I tried them all".

After trying the first 3 on I was really confused. I loved them all. Each of them were gorgeous. I could see myself walking down the isle in all of them actually. But I didn't get a "feeling"...or something. I didn't feel like it was the "wowza" factor I was looking for. By far the best ones I had tried on yet though.

I also had no idea if I would even be able to decide between the three.

There was no way. I loved them all the same, just in different ways.

That was.....

until I tried on "the wild card".

Which I must add that when she brought it out I just knew that I wouldn't like it. I probably looked at her like she was a crazy women. But I tried it on anyway. Plus, she was pretty stylish so I knew her pickings couldn't be TOO horribly bad.

So I tried it on.

Just to say I did.

Just to make her happy.

Just because.

And the wild card did it. It was not only everything I wanted in a dress, but it added a pop of pizazz that I loved. It was different. Unique. I knew no one else would have a dress like it.

Plus mostly importantly, I felt good in it.

Confident.

Pretty.

And what really did it for me was when I walked out and they all started crying. It was like some wave of emotion sneaked on into the room. All I had to really ask was "Is this the one?"  The one I walk down the isle to my husband to. 

& I cannot wait for him to see it!

Thank you mom, mostly importantly, for being there not only always, but throughout this process for me. Thank you for giving me support, dealing with me {ya this is a big one- ha}, and making these memories we will get to share forever. It wouldn't be the same without you and I wouldn't want to share it with anyone else.
