Exciting News!!

This weekend I checked a big item off of the wedding list. I bought my dress!!!!!

I was talking to my mom about a month ago about dressed and what exactly I was looking for. This, of course, got me searching endlessly on the internet for dress inspirations. I stumbled across a picture of a dress and fell in love (I can't post pictures because C does occasionally frequent this blog). I e-mailed a bridal shop close to my house that carried the dress and inquired about the price (I do have a budget and I wasn't willing to put a dress on that was ridiculously above it) and lucky me the price was perfect!

So three Sundays ago my mom, sister and I went to try on the dress at the salon I had been in contact with. They didn't have the dress! Apparently me contacting them and asking about the price of a specific dress and only making an appointment after I got it does not indicate that I wanted to try that specific dress on.

We had already driven out there so I did try on other dresses, but it was obvious that I wasn't going to buy anything because my heart was still set on the dress I had seen on the internet.

So we left empty handed and I contacted another place, a little further, that also claimed to carry my dress. This time I was smart and made them guarantee that if I made an appointment and came in that they would 100% have a sample of the dress for me to try. They did and this Sunday my mom, sister and I headed out.

I tried on three dresses before THE dress, and thought I was screwed (for lack of a better word) because I liked two of them exactly the same. We finally got to the dress that I had seen, and I put it on and honestly (not to sound cliche) knew. I love this dress. I was even more confident when I came out of the change room and my sister burst into tears (keeping in mind this was probably the tenth or eleventh dress she had seen me in).

So I found my dress!! I'm very excited. Now the hard part is going to be waiting until November to put it on again!!

Favourite Friday - Couple That Didn't make it.

So while the fiance is busy playing DJ hero, I thought this would be the perfect time to do my Favourite Friday Blog.

Jen's topic for this week was couple that didn't make it.

I was torn between two for this one. I finally decided on these two:

They are just so darn cute. And I can't say I'm the BIGGEST fan of Angelina. I kinda took the home wrecker approach to that whole thing.

A VERY close second would be:

I was so upset when the announced the separation. They were always the kind of couple you imagined being together forever.

Head over to Jen's blog if you want to play!

In other news, thank you all so much for you comments about my dress!

I showed it to C and my mom last night, and they liked it just as much as I do (which is good because I REALLY didn't want to return it.)

Here is a picture of me wearing it. (excuse how crappy I look. It was right after work, so my hair is a mess, my makeup isn't quite done. And I believe I'm yelling at C to just take the picture and that the lighting doesn't matter.)

So even though I look horrible, you get the idea. I still love the dress just as much as I did in the store, and I'm so excited to wear it to SM's wedding.

Now I'm on the hunt for the perfect shoes.

I am also trying to find a good tutorial online that will show me how to curl my hair with a straightening iron.

Any suggestions??
