Now, because my fiancé has access to and occasionally reads this blog, I won't go into many details here except to say that on Saturday morning, my sister and I went to look at wedding dresses. I haven't made it to the "trying-on" stage yet because I still haven't completely found my style, although I did develop a crush on a few dresses this weekend. Maybe I'll start trying them on next weekend when I go shopping with my mom.
We went to David's Bridal, and when we walked in the door, we both looked at each other and said, "Uh-oh." There's a desk at the front of the store, and we were both certain that an appointment was required to walk in and look around. Fortunately, the appointments are for trying the dresses on; customers are asked to register with the store before looking around, but they are welcome to look around by themselves. We started in the bridesmaids section because I wasn't quite ready to leap into the wedding dresses yet--I needed to warm up a little. I showed my sister the dresses I had seen online, letting her comment on the styles that I selected. We looked at bridesmaids dresses for her wedding (which will be about a year and a half after mine--no, she's not engaged yet, but they have a timeline arranged), and I offered my opinions on those styles as well. After about forty-five minutes of bridesmaids dresses, we finally wandered to the other side of the store where the bridal gowns were. We pulled dresses out of the slits in their bags to see them better and to feel the fabrics, remarking on the style and shape and color of the gowns, wondering to ourselves if we were interested in this one or that one. There were about three or four that I ended up referring to as "my dress" by the time we were finished looking around.
Robert, my sister, her boyfriend, and I are all going up to my parents' home next weekend. Mom wants to go looking at wedding dresses with my sister and I, so we're probably going to go do that. I wonder if I'll try anything on! :)
I'm finally starting to get really really excited about the wedding day--up until now, I've been mostly excited about the marriage. The wedding day is starting to materialize into a more realistic vision for me, and I can finally have something to get excited about.

Please please meet me somewhere this weekend. I have some things for you :)
How fun! My friend thought she wanted something really simple for her wedding and that's all she wanted to try on. The lady at David's Briday brought her a dress and said it would look lovely on her. On the hanger, it didn't look all that great. But when she put it on, we knew it was perfect! It was completely covered in lace and mini-pearls. It sparkled when she walked. It was so different fron what she thought she wanted but it was so perfect for her.
