Meet My Dress

I stole this idea from my fellow blogger at "Saying I Do" and I'm so excited to show off the most beautiful dress I've ever worn.

My dress was created by Maggie Sottero... her name is Grace.

I tried on a lot of dresses.  I went shopping with a group of bridesmaids to start with and never really felt like it was an exciting experience for me.  I'm sure part of that is because I knew I wanted to go shop with my mom before I made a final choice.  When I went up to Indiana and shopped wit her, I went through a lot of dresses and never had that teary, emotional, can't hold it together moment that you see on "Say Yes to the Dress".

Apparently I was not meant to have one of those moments... I'm probably too logical a thinker for that.  I am someone who compares one thing to another... I don't often make decisions based on emotion, and although a lot of the major decisions in my life have been accompanied by a sobbing breakdown, this was not one of them.  There are a few dresses that were contenders...

Pretty, but not perfect, although I thought it was at first

Beautiful, but too expensive

This was definitely a contender!

Just kidding... but if I ever go to the Oscars, this is the dress!

This is one that the Bridesmaids liked a lot

In the end, nothing compared to this...

The first time I ever tried it on...

I love the lace...



I love how it fit me, and how it made me look in pictures...

Who needs a tearful "moment" when you love your dress this much for the long haul?
