Momma, Aunt Amber, and I went wedding dress shopping today! I’ve waited 25 years to try on bridal gowns and didn’t waste a second to go after the proposal just 3 days ago! I’ve had two pictures from magazines cut out for over a year and knew what style dress I was wanting. I walked into David’s Bridal and upon entering saw “the dress” hanging up on display. It’s like the dress knew I was coming and was there to greet me or something. It was literally the first dress I saw and even after trying on several other stunning gowns (one other in particular that I still love), I am still crazy about this dress. I got to talk to Shane on the phone as I was wearing it and it just made me feel so loved and so special to be doing two such wonderful things at the same time (feeling pretty and talking to the one I love). It was so funny trying to get in and out of those things, though! There were SO many layers on the dress that it was a small miracle each time I actually managed to get one on. All the undergarments and snapping and buttoning and tieing and shifting……Whew! It was a workout–but well worth it! We also had fun picking out bridesmaids’ dresses, flower girls dresses, Momma’s dress (she’s a hottie in it), and even tuxes! Well, if nothing else, we are all going to look good!

Shane, thanks so much for loving me and giving me this chance to have such a wonderful, special day with loved ones.

I’M A BRIDE!! (I said this so many times today—like I was the only one at David’s BRIDAL or something…oh well…I’m a bride!)
