I have my dress!

On Wednesday my mom came down so we could do some wedding dress shopping, we went to Stacy's Bridle here in Richmond but she just did have the selection i was looking for. Thursday we headed to Indianapolis along with Terri Jo, i had appts at David's Bridle and Brides by Demetrios; first stop was David's Bridle.

Here I'm filling out some paperwork along with my mom. (I really wanted Gretchen to come but she was unable to take the day off work:( )

next i had to do was pick out my shoes...


and who better knows what kind of shoes i need for an outdoor weeding...

Then off to the dressing room, i only tried on about 4 or 5 dresses and i thought for sure i found the one but i really wanted to go to Brides by Demetrios so we put the dress on hold and off to Demetrios.

Demetrios does not allow you to take ANY pictures of dresses until you pay for the one your buying and then you can take pictures of the dress. So, below are the only pictures i have from Brides by Demetrios that i can post are below...


Mom and Jo; in between dresses...

After i tried on another 6 or 7 dresses I fell in love with one but i wanted to see if they would be able to alter the top part of the dress before i made my choice and because of the one at David's.

We decided to go get a bit to eat and talk about it. While eating i got a call from Demetrios and they said they would be able to do the altering to the dress i was wanting. We went back so i could try on the dress again just to make sure. Well this time around i left the dress the way it was made and i instantly fell in love with it, Mom and Jo both agreed it was the "one" and when i saw myself in the mirror i got goose bumps and then started crying which made jo cry which made mom laugh then cry!

This is Nicole, she helped me get in fitting room (again, so you cannot take any pictures). Here we are finalizing the details and know i have my dress (thank you mom)!!! It will take about 4 months for my dress come in so we are looking at about May, I cannot wait till I can try it on again.

It will be 4 weeks this Saturday that Brad asked me to be his wife, the time is already going be so fast and know that we have set the date I'm sure time will just fly by.

We are still working on all the details so stay tuned.
