the dress, the dress...

yesterday was day 1 of dress shopping... i'd been dreading dress shopping like i cant even explain... but in the end, 90% of it was kinda awesome...

and while i cant give too much away because J knows about this blog, i'll just say this... i certainly have different taste than 97% of the brides out there... which is good and bad. bad because there is a limited number of things that i like. good because there is a limited number of things that i like... its like being a vegetarian - sometimes you want more options, but other times, you just want one or two, because it makes decision-making that much easier...

the funny part was that the girl in the dressing room (1st store - david's) next to mine had pretty much the exact same taste as i did... we tried on at least 2 if not more, of the same dresses... it was nice to not be the only one who didnt want strapless, beaded and poufy! and i loved her when someone mentioned wearing spanx and she was like, 'no, i'm NOT wearing spanx. i want to eat, dance and have fun - i look fine!' i wanted to kiss her for that!!! (she doesnt need them anyway!)

store commentary -
i know david's is like, the place you are supposed to NOT want to go. i know it has a reputation and all of that. but you know, i went there and i went to one other shop and i HATED the other place. HATED! had it been the one we'd gone to first, i never would have put another wedding dress on ever again. it was the awful experience i'd been expecting - thank god we'd been to david's first - where i'd found 4 dresses that i liked and had the opposite of an awful experience!
